Gneuss Jump unit bolsters properties of recycled PET

Jump This polycondensation unit from Gneuss is designed to boost the intrinsic viscosity (IV) of recycled PET and is used inline with an extruder and melt-filtration system. It provides an alternative to conventional solid-state polycondensation systems and allows the PET melt to be processed directly into a finished product without the need for pelletizing and remelting. Jump is available in capacities ranging from 220 to 4,409 pounds per hour.

What's new? The polycondensation unit.

Benefits Quick, efficient processing and improved properties for the resulting recycled product. Also, by preventing oxygen from entering the system, Jump reduces PET discoloration.
