Zusammenfassung:Apparatuses and processes may be utilized for mixing used polyester into a polyester melt. In some processes an intermediate product stream is branched off from an intermediate stage in a virgin polyester production process. The intermediate product stream is then mixed with recycled polyester flakes in a dynamic mixer, where not more than 60% of a melting energy required to melt all the recycled polyester flakes is generated and/or supplied in the dynamic mixer. The mixture produced in this way is fed into a subsequent stage downstream of the intermediate stage and converted up to the desired degree of polycondensation. In this way, it is possible to physically reutilize used polyester or polyester waste.
