Introduction of PET Bottle Recycling Line
The plastic bottle recycling machine is mainly used to recycle waste PET bottles, such as mineral water bottles, beverage bottles, etc. Through crushing and cleaning, the final product is clean and transparent flakes. These bottle flakes can be further processed into fibers, PET strapping, PET clear film, or granules.
The equipment of the whole plastic bottle recycling line includes a PET bottle label remover machine, PET plastic crusher, hot water washing tank, frictional washing machine, horizontal dryer, and so on. The whole PET bottle washing plant is highly automated, and each step of the equipment is carefully designed and strictly controlled to maximize the quality of the final PET bottle flakes.

Raw Material and Final Products of PET Bottle Washing Line
So what materials can our PET bottle recycling machine recycle? Next, we will continue to introduce them to you.
PET plastic has a wide range of applications in the packaging field. It is widely used not only for packaging beverages, mineral water, tea drinks, etc. But also for food, chemical, pharmaceutical packaging, and many other fields.
After a series of processing steps such as de-labeling, crushing, and washing, waste PET bottles are finally recycled into clean, uniform, and unadulterated high-quality PET bottle flakes. Our plastic bottle recycling line is capable of producing high-quality PET bottle flakes in pure white and light blue colors to meet the market demand for high-end recycled materials.
These high-quality recycled PET bottle flakes can be sold to plastic product manufacturers, textile companies, and packaging companies for use in making new plastic bottles, food containers, fiber products, and more.
Working Process of Plastic Bottle Recycling Line
Recycling PET requires a series of sorting and cleaning processes to turn our waste into recycled material that can be used to make new PET plastic products.
Work process: Remove bottle label-crush-clean/separate bottle caps-hot washing-friction washing-drying-storage. We can optimize the recycling process according to the throughput as well as the degree of soiling of the material, e.g. by adding one or two rinsing steps after friction washing to ensure the cleanliness and quality of the recycled material.
By optimizing the treatment process in each step, our plastic bottle recycling line not only improves the recycling efficiency but also ensures the high quality of the finished products, providing customers with the best quality recycled materials.

The video below details the entire recycling process of our 1000kg/h PET bottle washing line. In addition to this, we also offer other solutions with different throughputs, such as 500kg/h and 3000kg/h, to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Main PET Bottle Recycling Machine
PET Bottle Label Remover Machine：
The PET bottle label remover machine is a device that peels off the label paper on various types of PET bottles. The separation efficiency of this machine can reach 98%-99% for round bottles and 90%-93% for flat bottles, which can reduce the PVC content in PET bottle flakes to ≤100-300mg/kg.
PET plastic crushers can efficiently crush waste plastic bottles and break them into uniform-size PET flakes, which is convenient for subsequent washing.
The blades of the machine are made of 9CrSi material and the screen size is 16-18mm, which can be adjusted according to the specific needs of customers.
The sink float plastic separation utilizes density to separate caps or residual labels from PET bottle flakes, controlling polyolefin content to ≤200-300 (mg/kg).
By using hot water and detergent, this PET bottle flakes hot washing machine effectively removes residual adhesive, impurities, and more. The water temperature is 85-90 degrees and the washing time is 30-45 minutes.
The barrel wall of the PET friction washing machine is a rubbing plate design with strong friction. During its work, the internal screw rotates at high speed to make the stains attached to the bottle pieces fall off. The machine is typically placed at a 45-degree angle to facilitate better drainage.
The plastic dryer machine is used to remove water from PET bottle flakes with dryness of up to 95-98%. The back can be connected to the drying pipe, which is made of 304 stainless steel and can control the moisture at 0.5%-1%.
