Rigid Plastic Washing Recycling Line

For HDPE/PP Bottles & Rigids
99% Purity Guaranteed

Rigid Plastic Washing Recycling Line

Turn post-consumer bottles and rigid plastics into premium, food-grade capable flakes. Our turnkey solution removes glues, labels, and oils efficiently.

Why Choose Our Rigid Plastic Washing Line?

Specifically engineered for the high standards of HDPE and PP rigid recycling.

Hot Washing System

Crucial for removing stubborn glues, oils, and chemical residues from bottle surfaces.

Efficient Label Separation

Zig-zag air classifiers and friction washers ensure 99% removal of paper and PVC labels.

High Purity Output

Automated sorting and washing result in flakes suitable for high-end applications like blow molding.

Durable Design

Equipped with wear-resistant steel blades and screens to handle tough rigid plastics for years.

From Bottles to Flakes: The Process

A step-by-step breakdown of how we purify rigid plastic waste.

1. Shredding

Heavy-duty shredder reduces bulky bottles and crates into manageable chunks.

2. Friction Wash

High-speed scrubbing removes exterior dirt and loose labels.

3. Chemical Hot Wash

Heated alkaline bath dissolves glues and deep-cleans grease.

4. Sink-Float Separation

Isolates PE/PP from heavier contaminants like PET or metal.

5. Drying & Sorting

Centrifugal drying followed by zigzag air sorting for label removal.

Technical Specifications

Reliable performance for continuous industrial operation.

What Our Customers Say

Join recyclers producing high-quality flakes worldwide.

"The hot washing system is incredible. It completely removes the glue from our milk bottles, which was our biggest headache."

— Plant Manager, UK

"We switched to Rumtoo for our HDPE line. The flake purity is significantly higher, allowing us to sell at a premium."

— CEO, Plastic Recyclers, Columbia

"Detailed engineering and solid build quality. The Zig-Zag separator does a great job taking out the paper labels."

— Operations Lead, Vietnam

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this line process both HDPE bottles and PP crates?
Yes, our rigid plastic washing line is versatile. It can be adjusted to process various rigid polyolefins including HDPE milk bottles, detergent bottles, and PP crates/pallets.
How do you handle paper and PVC labels?
We use a combination of friction washing (to detach labels) and a Zig-Zag Air Classifier (to suck away light labels) and Sink-Float tanks (to separate heavy PVC labels) for maximum purity.
What is the chemical consumption for hot washing?
Typically, we recommend a specific ratio of Caustic Soda (NaOH) and detergent depending on contamination. We will provide a detailed recipe and dosage guide during commissioning.
