Tests in SSP Pilot Plant
The Polymetrix Test Center has a pilot plant available, in addition to the laboratory test facilities and the analysis laboratory.
The pilot plant is primarily used for conducting SSP (Solid State Polymerization) experiments for small-scale production. It is a facility with a capacity of approximately 100 - 300 kg per batch. Additionally, crystallization and drying experiments can be carried out.
Customer tests are conducted, mainly using PET, rPET, PBT, PA granules, and rPET flakes.
The pilot plant is also utilized for developing and evaluating new process concepts. Furthermore, the pilot plant allows for the treatment and refinement of new material formulations or new polymers that are not available in large quantities.
The pilot plant is controlled by a PLC software and the process data is evaluated using the Polymetrix data acquisition system.
