The PET bottle washing line is a set of highly efficient recycling equipment specialized in processing waste PET bottles. The system thoroughly removes impurities and contaminants from bottle flakes through a series of processes including de-labeling, crushing, hot washing, friction washing, rinsing, and drying. Each step in the washing line is carefully designed to ensure that PET bottle flakes remain efficiently cleaned and minimally wasted throughout the process.

Applications of PET Bottle Recycling Plant

Mineral water bottles, fruit juice bottles, soda bottles, carbonated beverage bottles, PET baled brick, rPET cola bottles, and so on.

Recycled PET Flakes

These plastic bottles can be washed and reprocessed efficiently by plastic bottle recycling machines to obtain high-quality recycled PET raw materials, which can be used to manufacture new PET bottles, fibers, and other plastic products.

After testing, our PET bottle flakes washing line can meet the following standards.

  • Moisture: ≤0.5-1%
  • pH: ≤8.0
  • Impurity content: ≤300-500mg/kg
  • Powder content: ≤ 2000-3000mg/kg
  • Particle size: < 16-18mm

PET Bottle Recycling Process

Our PET bottle recycling process includes the following steps:

  1. De-labeling: First, the labels are removed from the PET bottles for subsequent processing.
  2. Shredding: The de-labeled PET bottles are then shredded into smaller flakes.
  3. Density Separation: Utilizes density differences to separate caps and labels from PET bottle flakes, ensuring pure PET flakes.
  4. Hot Washing: Next, the bottle pieces are hot rinsed to remove oils, gums, and other contaminants.
  5. Friction Washing: Further removal of residual impurities through friction washing to improve the cleanliness of bottle flakes.
  6. Rinsing: Subsequently, rinsing is carried out to thoroughly rinse off any residue on the surface of the bottle pieces.
  7. Drying: Finally, the cleaned PET bottle flakes are dried in preparation for the next stage of the regeneration process.

sink float plastic separation

Sink Float Plastic Separation

PP PE separating tank is used for cleaning broken PET chips, separating PET bottle chips as well as bottle caps, labels, and other impurities of different materials. The machine can control the polyolefin content ≤ 200-300 (mg/kg).

Hot Washing Tank

Hot washing tank removes contaminants such as sticky label oil stains from plastic bottles. A water temperature of 85-90 degrees and a cleaning time of 30-45 minutes is optimal.
