CarbonLite’s Pennsylvania Facility Starts Up Los Angeles, California-based CarbonLite Holdings LLC has begun production at its Reading, Pennsylvania, plant, which it describes as “the largest stand-alone bottle-to-bottle recy- cling facility in the world.”This is the company’s third plant, which it said will process 140 million pounds of postcon- sumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET),which is the equiv- alent of 2.5 billion bottles, producing 90 million pounds of food-grade rPET pellets annually. The $80 million, 270,000-square-foot Reading plant, about 30 miles from Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the eastern part of the state, is outfitted with robotics technology that is sup- plied by Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), Eugene, Oregon.The plant’s four robots will be used to remove non-PET resins from the incoming material stream. The bottle sorting sys- tem also features NRT optical sorters supplied by BHS. This is the second CarbonLite facility to feature sorting technology supplied by BHS, says CarbonLite CEO Leon Far- ahnik, but it is the first one to incorporate robotics. Carbon- Lite’s Dallas plant also features a front-end system from BHS. In addition to the optical sorters manufactured by NRT, a BHS company, that are deployed on the front-end of the sys- tem, CarbonLite uses flake sorters manufactured by Tomra Sorting Recycling, headquartered in Germany, on the back end of the system. The plant’s wash line was supplied by Italy-based Sorema. CarbonLite’s California plant also features a Sorema wash line.
