HyperPET

Smart PET Recycling for Sheet & Bottle Grade

The MAS iQonicTwin HyperPET lines deliver accurate closed-loop recycling for both sheet and bottle-grade PET. These systems handle A‑PET, C‑PET, GAG, and PLA while maintaining excellent IV stability and exceptionally low AA levels. Direct material feeding enables the immediate reuse of edge trim or regrind—eliminating the need for crystallization or pre-drying. Whether used for offline or inline sheet production, manufacturers benefit from MAS’s precise process control and seamless modular line integration.

HyperPET – The Platform That Makes PET Recycling a Smart Investment

HyperPET combines two powerful technologies — MAS gentle extrusion and a proven Solid State Polycondensation (SSP) process — to deliver food-grade rPET with exceptional quality, efficiency, and consistency.

Technology that Elevates rPET Quality

MAS Conical Twin-Screw Extruder
A patented, compact system engineered for gentle and precise processing.
Low screw speeds, high screw fill, a short melting path, and low melt temperatures protect material properties, ensuring outstanding IV retention, excellent color, and minimal AA values — with remarkably low energy consumption.

Pre-Extrusion SSP
A patented infrared-vacuum system that rapidly increases intrinsic viscosity while ensuring a uniform IV profile throughout the material. The result: reliable, food-grade quality for demanding PET applications.

The HyperPET Solution

HyperPET meets the rising global demand for food-grade rPET — serving today’s bottle-to-bottle market while enabling tomorrow’s tray-to-bottle applications.

Key Strengths

Broader feedstock range: Bottle-to-Bottle & Tray-to-Bottle
Stable pellet quality (IV, color, AA)
Fully food-contact compliant
FDA & EFSAconfirmed by independent lab testing
Lower operating costs and faster ROI

Why HyperPET Is a Game Changer

MAS Extrusion

Designed for maximum material protection:

Gentle processing
Low screw speed
High screw fill
Short residence time
Low melt temperatures

Excellent IV, clean color, ultra-low AA — at best-in-class energy efficiency.

HyperPET SSP

IR + vacuum for rapid heating
Fast and efficient IV increase
Uniform viscosity across the entire batch

System Overview

Flexible Input

rPET bottle flakes, rPET tray flakes, any blend of both

Advanced SSP Technology

Nitrogen-free Solid State Polycondensation
Ultra-short residence time in the reactor
High decontamination performance
Fully FDA/EFSA-compliant operation

High-Quality Output

Food-grade pellets
IV > 0.80 dl/g
Stable color
AA within food-contact limits
Industry-leading energy efficiency

Efficient IV Control & Lower Energy Use

The iQ HyperPET concept optimizes material preparation before extrusion:

Pre-crystallization and drying of flakes
IR + vacuum reactor reduces moisture to <10 ppm
IV precisely set before entering the extruder
Stored heat significantly reduces extrusion energy demand

The HyperPET Performance Principles

Hyper-Flex — Material Flexibility
Bottle flakes, tray flakes, blends — consistently stable output

Hyper-Clean — Food Safety
Dual decontamination (extruder + SSP)
FDA & EFSA compliant, validated by lab testing

Hyper-Save — Efficiency
Nitrogen-free process, reduced energy use, minimal scrap, fast ROI

Hyper‑Q — Pellet Quality
Food-grade pellets, IV > 0.80 dl/g, uniform color, very low AA

Hyper-Compact — Space-Saving Design
A compact MAS extruder and high-speed SSP reduce the required floor space.

Key Advantages

Very short residence time
Fast IV build-up (up to 1.0 dl/g)
No nitrogen or vacuum needed in extrusion
Lower energy consumption, smaller footprint, reduced OPEX

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

The conical shape is very advantageous when melting the material, where with little shear and very short dwell time, the material is damaged as little as possible

We always have to try to buy as good as possible to produce top quality regranulate. And we do that with the technology we bought from MAS.

Fatra was satisfied with the MAS cooperation, the possibility of tests before ordering with, MAS innovative solutions and the final production performance achieved.

The Twin Screw Extruder from MAS is an engineering feat in the field of plastics recycling. Coupled with the superb performance of the Continuous Disc Filtration easily makes it the best recycling system in the world. Truly a masterpiece.
