Ester Industries is planning to install Gneuss OMNI 200 recycling system to boost sustainable BOPET film production, aligning with India's 2025 recycling goals and regulatory requirements. The new line is expected to be operational by mid to late 2025.

Headquartered in India, Ester Industries is a leading manufacturer of polyester (PET) film. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Khatima, Uttarakhand, and Hyderabad Telangana India, and is known for producing high quality BOPET film.

OMNI 200 Recycling System.

The Gneuss OMNI 200 recycling system will be installed in Ester Industries’ new Hyderabad facility, enabling efficient processing of bottle flakes into food-grade pellets for use in BOPET film production.

The OMNI Recycling System consists of a 3C Rotary Feeder, which ensures constant feeding of the extruder for maximum process stability, even with fluctuating bulk densities.

It also includes an MRS extruder, which is based on conventional single-screw technology but incorporates a multi-screw devolatilisation section. This design enables highly efficient and gentle decontamination of the polymer melt, ensuring that the material meets the stringent standards for direct food contact applications.

The OMNI Recycling System for Ester Industries uses an MRS 200 extruder that degasses the melt at an absolute pressure of 25 mbar, allowing the use of a robust water ring pump vacuum system.

A unique feature of this OMNI 200 recycling system in Ester's new production hall is the dual filtration process, which allows fine filtration down to 16-20 µm. This quality is essential for the efficient processing into BOPET film.

This OMNI 200 recycling system is without pre drying which significantly reduces the amount of time the material is exposed to heat, allowing for more gentle processing.

Another key factor is the advanced filtration technology, which enables fine filtration with exceptionally long screen life, even when processing post-consumer materials.
