The plastic scrap washing machine, also known as a PET bottle flakes hot washing machine, is an important piece of equipment designed for PET washing plants, aiming at efficiently removing oil stains, slime, and residual labeling substances from bottle flakes.

This equipment is one of the core equipment for producing high-quality recycled polyester bottle flakes through the combination of high-temperature water cleaning and special cleaning agents to effectively enhance the cleanliness of bottle flakes.

Features of PET Flakes Hot Washing Machine

  • Using the chemical and physical action of whitening cleaning powder and high-temperature water, it effectively removes oil and stains from the surface of bottle flakes.
  • Equipped with an internal agitation device to improve the cleaning effect.
  • Two hot washing tanks can be installed side by side according to the customer’s needs, which makes the cleaning process more thorough and even, and meets the requirements of higher quality production.

Working principle of Hot Washed PET Flakes Machine

The working principle of the plastic scrap washing machine is based on a combination of hot water dissolution and mechanical agitation.

Firstly, the waste plastic is loaded into the PET flakes hot washing machine and then filled with hot water at high temperature and pressure, which quickly dissolves the dirt on the surface of the plastic.

Subsequently, the PET bottle flakes hot washing machine thoroughly cleans the dirt by agitating and rotating to ensure that the hot water adequately covers the surface of the plastic.

Finally, an optional lye system removes residual sticky labeling and oil, leaving the waste plastic looking brand new.

  • Water temperature control: Keep the water temperature between 85-95°C to avoid high water temperature leading to a decrease in the viscosity of the bottle flakes, thus affecting the regeneration application of the bottle flakes, especially for fibre-grade products.
  • Cleaning Time: Cleaning time should be controlled at 30-45 minutes.
  • Cleaning powder use: one time about 40kg, according to the material situation every 10T-30T material to add once.
