- Superior melt homogeneity
This system is already proven in industrial applications, providing a flexible, efficient solution for polyester waste recycling.
VarioFil® R+: Compact Spinning for Recycled PET
The VarioFil® R+ system from BBE facilitates direct recycling of PET bottle granules and production waste into premium-quality POY (Partially Oriented Yarn). It offers:
- Compact and sustainable spinning technology
- Spun-dyed yarn capabilities
- Flexibility for small-batch and specialized production
VacuFil: High-Quality rPET from Textile Waste
BBE’s VacuFil PET recycling system ensures high-performance processing of textile waste, featuring:
- Patented filtration and IV control for superior rPET
- Processing of diverse input materials, including post-consumer waste
- Seamless integration into spinning or chip production
With the Visco+ polycondensation system, VacuFil guarantees efficient impurity removal and viscosity regulation, producing virgin-quality recycled PET.
DTY Yarns: Versatile, High-Quality Texturing Solutions
