PET Food Grade Products
R-PET sheet is a common plastic made of polyethylene glycol (PET), due to its high transparency, heat resistance, impact resistance, and ease of processing and molding,sheets are widely used in the food packaging industry, it can be also used in bottles, fibers. industrial applications, electronic products, etc.
At present, the global R-PET sheet market has reached billions of dollars, mainly driven by applications such as food packaging, fiber, and bottles. The global R-PET bottle market is expected to reach around 140 bilion dollars by 2025, with an annual compound growth rate of 7.5%, bringing huge market opportunities to the R-PET sheet industry.In terms of R-PET food grade sheet extrusion technology, new technologies and processes are constantly emerging, including multiple innovative technologies such as reactive extrusion and co-extrusion, which have continuously improved the production efficiencyand performance of R-PET food grade sheets.

Product Details
Reaction Chamber
When the 5-layer combined cutter plates in the reaction chamber rotates at a high speed, frictional heat is generated with the PET bottle flakes. This high temperature will cause a small amount of water and small molecules in the material to be vaporized in a very short time, and will be heated at high temperature. Under the action of vacuum, impurities such as moisture, small molecules and a small amount of dust are quickly drawn out of the reaction chamber, effectively purifying the PET bottle flakes in the chamber, and keeping the bottle flakes at a constant temperature, creating favorable conditions of a rapid melting after entering the extruder barrel.
Valve
The new gate design is specially used for the PET vacuum sealed reaction chamber.
By adjusting the size of the valve opening and closing, the material in the chamber can be kept at a stable level, the residence time of the material can be controlled, and the material can be fully purified and maintained at a constant temperature.
And can achieve accurate feeding to the extruder, to ensure the continuous and stable extrusion process.
Single Screw Extruder
The process section (barrel, screw) specially designed for PET can achieve more milder melting and plasticization. A vacuum port is arranged on the barrel to purify the melted PET again. The specially designed extrusion section can ensure the stable extrusion of PET under high pressure in front of the mesh.
Vacuum Degassing System
The barrel is designed with double vacuum exhaust rooms. The liquid ring + Roots three-stage vacuum pump can effectively remove the small molecules generated during the melting process, so that the PET can be purified again to ensure high-quality final particles.

Melt Viscosity Online Measurement System
The device can display the viscosity of the PET melt in the production process of the equipment in real time, intuitively understand the viscosity state of the current material, and can help and remind the operator to adjust the relevant parameters or processes. The online viscosity measuring instrument adopts the working principle of torsional vibration. When the element shears the fluid, it will lose energy due to viscous resistance. The lost energy is converted into a frequency signal through the electronic circuit and transmitted to the signal processor, which is then converted into a frequency signal by the signal processor viscosity reading. The actual measurement is completely independent of temperature.
Since fluid shearing is achieved by vibration, there are no moving parts, seals or bearings This special high-quality resonance technology has the anti-interference ability to the factory or process flow, such as vibration, flow and contained gas or solid.
