From PET Bottle to
automotive fiber
Factory build by Strobbe, Tony
FPU : Shredded PET flakes enter the Factory in big bags and are sorted and purified in this
unit called the flake preparation unit
FPU : Able to process 200,000 bottles per hour. Or a whopping 1,75 Billion bottles per year.
Yes that is Billion folks; with a B.
Storage : From the FPU the purified flakes are stored in a silo. Total capacity is 80,000 kg.
Crystalizer : When needed the flakes are blown to the crystalizer.
Crystalizer : Here we change the chemical compostion of the flakes
Dryers : Next step we need to dry them in order to be able to process the flakes
Extrusion : With temperaturas of upto 300 degrees celcius, a melt is produced
Spinning: Working with temperaures of 300 degrees celcius means a lot of thermical oil
pipes
Spinning : The business side. Fibres as thin as a 12th of a human hair are produced. 150,000
at the same time
Stretching : The technical parameters are improved in the stretching area
Crimping : At this point we put some texture in the fibre package so it can be processed by
our customers
Fixation : Ofcourse now that we have made the perfect fibre, we need to keep it perfect,
hence fixation
Packing : This is were we pack the fibre for transport to our customers
Moulds unit : Needless to say from time to time the moulds need to be refurbished
Boiler room : Oil is being heated to 300 degrees for use at the line
Boiler room : Obviously we also need quite a bit of steam
Cooling unit : When you use oil of 300 degrees, at one point there is also cooling involved
Cooling unit : Stabilising tanks for a correct cooling temperature
Compressed air : Always handy
Reversed osmosis : All the water we use is treated to eliminate unwanted minerals
Kitchen : Preparation kitchen for additives
Electricity : The hart of the factory. All cabinets cooled from below
QC room : We know we make perfect fibre, but we also want to prove it
Offices: First floor offices and meeting rooms
The plant: A view on the 110m*60m factory
