Main Technical Parameters

“Post-consumer PET bottles are undoubtedly one of the most important components of the recycling market. Recycled PET can be used in a wide variety of applications and can bring significant financial returns to recycling companies.”

Core System Components: A Closer Look

Debaler Machine: The crucial first step in our plastic bottle washing line. This robust machine efficiently breaks the compacted bales of PET bottles, transforming them into a free-flowing stream ready for processing. Once “busted”, the bottles smoothly transition to the next stage.

Trommel (Optional): An effective optional component, the trommel is a slowly rotating cylindrical screen. Lined with precisely sized small holes (smaller than PET bottles), it allows for the removal of small contaminants like glass shards, metals, rocks, dirt, and paper, while PET bottles advance.

Wet Plastic Granulator: Often termed a plastic crusher, our high-performance granulator meticulously cuts PET bottles into uniform small flakes, typically between 10-15mm. With water constantly spraying into the cutting chamber, this wet granulation process not only sizes but also pre-treats and partially cleans the material.

Air Classifier: This intelligent system leverages air currents to separate lighter materials from heavier ones. Its primary function is to efficiently remove contaminants such as paper, cardboard, and loose plastic labels from the PET flakes, ensuring higher purity.

Sink/Float Separation Tank: Utilizing water’s density properties, this tank expertly separates materials. PET plastic, being denser, sinks, while lighter materials like plastic film (bottle labels) and PP/PE plastic (bottle caps) float. A screw conveyor at the tank’s bottom efficiently transports the valuable PET plastic to the next stage.

Hot Washer System: A critical stage for premium quality. Hot washing significantly enhances PET flake value by dissolving stubborn glues (from labels) and residues from leftover beverages/foods that are challenging to remove in cold wash processes. While water alone is effective, adding specialized washing agents can further optimize results.

Friction Washer: This high-efficiency cold water washing unit employs mechanical friction to vigorously scrub and remove any persistent dirt and debris from the PET flakes, ensuring a thoroughly cleaned product.

Dewatering Machine: The initial phase of the drying process. Our centrifugal dewatering machine utilizes high-speed centrifugal force to expel a significant portion of water from the PET flakes before they proceed to the thermal dryers, saving energy and time.

Thermal Dryer: PET flakes are pneumatically conveyed from the dewatering machine into the thermal dryer. Here, they travel through a series of stainless steel tubes, intermingling with hot air. This process ensures complete moisture removal via dehydration. An integrated cyclone separator then mixes the PET flakes with cool air, preparing them for storage.

Product Silo: A dedicated, hygienic storage tank for the clean, dry, and ready-to-market PET flakes.

Pelletizer/Extruder (Optional): While high-quality PET flakes are widely used as-is (especially in polyester fiber manufacturing), we also cater to clients requiring further processing. Our range includes advanced single-screw and twin-screw extruder pelletizers for converting flakes into pellets.
