Oerlikon Barmag Polycondensation Plant

How to Save 630,000 USD per Year and Produce the Best Polyester

Oerlikon Barmag has been an expert in the production of efficient and high-end continuous polycondensation systems for polyester melt and granulate since 2008. Our plants are energy efficient and
utilise waste heat to generate chilled water, reducing cost overall. Find out the details and benefits of our polycondensation plants and how they can improve your operation and product quality.

Polycondensation plants

are modular designed for

up to 750 up to 1500 The plants are made for textile

applications, apparel and

the production of tonnes per day (TPD) tonnes per day (TPD) industrial textiles as well as for

Polyethylene terephthalate: in single stream in two streams packaging (PET bottles and films).
