KREYENBORG Group at NPE, e.g. backflush filtration and efficient drying and crystallization of PET

As the global market leader for screen changers, KREYENBORG offers the appropriate machine for each filtration application. The portfolio ranges from discontinuous and continuous systems to fully automatic backflush screen changers. Screen changers with process, pressure, and volume flow constant method of operation are very unique in the market. They allow for the successful processing of highly contaminated material to high quality products in very sensitive applications.   At NPE 2012 in Orlando, Florida USA, KREYENBORG Group presents its latest development in the field of filtration systems in Hall West, Section E, Booth no. 7271. The new machine allows for best backflush performance, lowest backflush waste, as well as low running costs and quick ROI. KREYENBORG’s screen changers are often delivered together with the extremely wear-protected KREYENBORG melt pumps. These pumps, available in different models, are designed for operation in extrusion and reactor discharge. In addition, a specially-designed melt pump is available for a quick and simple color / product changes, known as the GPE-MB.   The Underwater Pelletizing Systems of BKG Bruckmann and Kreyenborg Granuliertechnik GmbH have proved their excellence all over the world. These systems are supplied with pelletizer, centrifugal drying, water system, and ready-to-use PLC control and are suited for all thermoplastic materials, including the production of micro pellets. Process throughput ranges are available from 2-80 kg/hr (Labline 100) to systems capable of 35,000 kg/hr. For particularly economic processing of PET, BKG has developed the Inline Crystallization System CrystallCut®. With this system, pelletizing and crystallization are executed in one process step without the supply of additional energy. The KREYENBORG Infrared Drum IRD is of special interest for PET recycling. By means of infrared radiation, an extremely efficient drying and crystallization of PET is guaranteed in a continuous process. The Infrared Drum IRD is also suited for the thermal treatment of nearly all free flowing bulk goods.At NPE 2012, the KREYENBORG Group will be presenting a diverse range of screen changers and melt pumps, a discontinuous infrared dryer IR-Batch, as well as a BKG CrystallCut® System for capacities up to 1,000 kg/hr.
