The project marks an important step in Ismail's continued expansion into the recycled PET sector and reflects its broader commitment to sustainability and the development of a circular plastics economy in Pakistan.
The line processes post-consumer PET bottles through label separation, crushing and washing to produce high-purity recycled PET flakes suitable for direct food-contact applications after downstream pelletizing and SSP. With a single-line processing capacity exceeding 8 t/h, the project is among the high-capacity PET bottle washing installations currently operating in Pakistan.
Customized design for complex PET feedstock
For large-scale bottle-to-bottle recycling projects, maintaining stable label separation and product cleanliness at high throughput is a key requirement for the front-end washing process. Based on the feedstock characteristics of the Ismail project, BoReTech developed a customized process configuration.
The Bale Breaker is designed to handle oversized and elongated bottle bales, improving de-baling efficiency and ensuring stable material feeding to downstream processes. The new-generation Mega Aspirator enhances label separation efficiency, helping reduce PVC label contamination in the final PET flakes to a consistently low level.
Zeeshan, Deputy Manager of Engineering at the Ismail plant, said that the new-generation Mega Aspirator delivered a significant improvement in label separation efficiency after being put into operation, and expressed satisfaction with its actual performance.
