Remscheid, Germany – March 2025
BB Engineering unveils its latest innovation, the COBRA Filter, a state-of-the-art solution designed to meet the increasing demands of PET recycling. This new filter addresses the core challenges in the industry—short service life, intensive cleaning, and handling low-quality feedstocks—by offering continuous, automated filtration with in-line steam cleaning.
Why COBRA Sets a New Standard:
- Handles High Contamination + Fine Filtration:
COBRA uniquely combines large-area filtration capacity with precision, making it ideal for PET recyclers facing tougher input materials. - Automated Dual-Insert System:
Maintains continuous operation through smart switchovers between filter inserts, reducing downtime and manual intervention. - Built-In Steam Cleaning (WFC Technology):
Chemical-free, eco-friendly inline cleaning extends filter life and cuts cleaning time from days to just 10 hours. - Up to 40% Operating Cost Reduction:
Lower melt loss, fewer spare parts, reduced energy use, and minimal operator involvement contribute to major savings. - Operator Safety & Ease:
Fully enclosed system eliminates risks from hot melts and chemicals, while simplifying training and maintenance.
The COBRA Filter will make its debut at PRSE Amsterdam in April 2025. This marks a significant leap forward in efficient, sustainable PET recycling and positions BB Engineering as a leader in modern filtration systems.
