Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023017038A1] The invention relates to a method for producing granulate for the production of extrusion-blow-moulded hollow bodies, the method comprising the steps of: (a) sorting, by type, washing and comminuting PET articles originating from post-consumer collection of plastic packaging; (b) removing contaminants such as metal or paper before, at the same time as or after method step (a); (c) premixing PET material from various by-type sorting processes according to step (a) such that the Trouton ratio of the mixed PET material at a shear rate of 50 to 200 s-1 is less than 4; (d) drying the PET material obtained from step (a) and (b); (e) melting the dried PET material; (f) pressing the PET material through a melt filter; (g) dividing the PET material into individual melt flows; (h) cooling and solidifying the melt flows in a water bath and granulating, wherein the granulates obtained have an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 0.75 dl/g; (i) crystallising the granulates; and (j) drying and condensing the crystallised granulates in a solid-phase polycondensation reactor until they obtain an intrinsic viscosity of 1.0 to 1.7 dl/g.
