Cut defoamer consumption in half with SurTec
Every year, many millions of tons of single-use PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles are recycled worldwide, from which PET flakes are recovered and processed into new bottles or other products. To obtain clean, high-quality flakes, contaminants such as food residues, labels and adhesives must be removed from the crushed bottles. The polymer chains of the plastic must not be damaged in the process. Foam impedes flake cleaning in this process. Read in this technical article how cleaning technologies from SurTec can halve defoamer consumption.
