PET Bottle Recycling Machine Application Areas

PET bottle washing plant is mainly used for recycling PET bottles such as carbonated beverage bottles, mineral water bottles, fruit juice bottles, food bottles, cleaning products bottles, and so on. Finally, you will get clean PET bottle flakes. Washed PET bottle flakes can be used as a high-quality recycled plastic raw material for the manufacture of new bottles, plastic sheets, fiber products, and other plastic products.

Shuliy Machinery’s PET recycling machine is the ideal solution for processing discarded PET bottles into PET flakes. By utilizing our high-tech plastic recycling machinery, the produced PET flakes not only maintain a high level of cleanliness but are also entirely free from contamination.

PET Bottle Washing Plant Description

PET cold washing line is a kind of production line equipment specialized in cleaning waste PET bottles, mainly through cold water washing to remove the impurities and pollutants on the surface of bottles. The entire cold-washing process does not involve a heating step and relies on strong friction and multiple rinsing to ensure the cleanliness of the bottle flakes.

The PET bottle washing plant usually includes a label remover machine, a PET crusher, a friction washer, a plastic float sink tank, a centrifugal dewatering machine, and other equipment. Through this cold washing method, glue, labels, and other contaminants can be effectively removed from PET bottles, providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent recycling or granulation.

Working Process of PET Recycling Plant

The workflow of the PET flakes washing line consists of several steps to ensure that waste PET bottles are thoroughly cleaned and efficiently processed. First, the waste PET bottles are fed into the label remover machine through a conveyor belt to remove the labels from the bottles.

Next, the bottles enter the PET bottle crusher and are crushed into small bottle flakes. Bottle flakes then enter the plastic float sink tank for initial cleaning in cold water to remove surface impurities and dirt.

After cold washing, the bottle flakes are passed through a friction washer for further cleaning to ensure that residual contaminants are thoroughly removed.

Finally, the cleaned bottle flakes are dewatered through a centrifugal dewatering machine and then enter the packaging process to become clean, uniform, high-quality finished PET bottle flakes.

Introduction of PET Bottle Cold Washing Line Machines

Plastic recycling bale opener

Bale opener: Used to break up hydraulically baled PET bottle bricks and place them on a conveyor belt. This machine is suitable for washing lines of 1000kg/h or more.

Tumbler screen

Tumbler screen: Suitable for large output PET bottle washing plants, its function is to separate PET bottles from stones, metals, and impurities by rotating. To improve the quality and purity of recycled PET bottle flakes.

label removing machine

Label removing machine: It is designed to remove PVC labels from PET bottles with a de-labeling rate of over 98%. In the case of flattened bottles, the de-labeling rate is more than 95%.

The machine can effectively reduce the PVC content to less than or equal to 100-300mg /kg.

plastic bottle crusher machine

Automatic plastic bottle crusher: This plastic recycling machine is used to crush PET bottles into PET flakes.

The blade material of this machine is 9CrSi and the screen size is 16-18mm, which is adjustable.

sink float separation tank

Sink float separation tank: This plastic recycling machine is used to separate PET flakes from PP/PE bottle caps. During the cleaning process, PET plastics sink while PVC labels and PP/PE bottle caps float. The machine can control polyolefin content ≤200-300(mg/kg).

friction washer machine and horizontal dryer

Friction washer machine: Friction washing utilizes the friction generated at high speeds between PET flakes to effectively clean debris. The machine is usually placed at 45 degrees to facilitate better drainage.

Horizontal dryer: Dehydrators use centrifugal force to shake off water from PET flakes. The drying degree of this machine can reach 95-98%.
