REMSCHEID - The VacuFil process from BB Engineering now enables the reutilization of polyester waste into high-end textile filament and fibre products which are suitable for a range of applications for the nonwovens sector.
Traditionally, manmade fibres and filaments made from recycled bottle flake material require corresponding single variety collection or pre-sorting of the bottle material being recycled and comprehensive cleaning before they are shredded into polyester flakes.
It is then possible to spin these flakes directly into POY filaments (DTY in the downstream process), staple fibres, nonwovens and BCF endless filaments. Today, the technology is so refined that the products achieve a quality standard that corresponds to virgin material in many applications.
However, there are also many cases in which the material quality and/or property achieved does not comply with the market requirements.
