  • Plastic reprocessing with controlled decontamination
    Patent number: 8470245
    Abstract: A device for reprocessing used plastic containers including a system for analyzing the degree of contamination of the plastic, a system for determining decontamination process parameters as a function of the degree of contamination thus detected, and a system for controlled decontamination of the plastic according to the decontamination process parameters thus determined. The system for determining decontamination process parameters provides determined decontamination process parameters to corresponding decontamination control elements that are automatically adjusted depending on the degree of contamination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2012
    Date of Patent: June 25, 2013
    Assignee: Krones AG
    Inventors: Thomas Friedlaender, Maren Hofferbert, Hans-Jurgen Straubinger

  • Plastic reprocessing with controlled decontamination
    Patent number: 8304457
    Abstract: A method and device for reprocessing used plastic containers, especially PET bottles, by analyzing the degree of contamination of the plastic, determining the decontamination process parameters as a function of the degree of contamination found in the analyzing step, and conducting a controlled decontamination of the plastic according to the decontamination process parameters thus determined. With this method and this device, it is thus possible to perform the decontamination process step in a controlled manner, yielding a more economical reprocessing method.
