Continuous Hot Washer System for PET & HDPE Flakes
Revolutionize plastic recycling with a continuous hot washing system engineered to remove glue, oil, grease, food residue, and embedded dirt from PET and HDPE regrinds in a stable, high-throughput process.
- Continuous operation improves throughput and consistency versus batch washing.
- Hot chemical washing and friction scrubbing work together in a single cleaning stage.
- SUS304 construction supports long service life in corrosive washing environments.
Key Advantages
The system combines thermal, chemical, and mechanical cleaning in one continuous workflow for higher purity and more stable plant operation.
Continuous High Throughput
Processes material without repeated stops and restarts, improving total output and making upstream and downstream matching easier.
Deep Cleaning Power
A heated chemical bath softens glue, oil, grease, and dirt before mechanical scrubbing removes loosened contamination.
Intense Friction Scrubbing
High-speed internal action keeps flakes rubbing against each other and the washing zone for stronger mechanical decontamination.
Single-Cycle Efficiency
Thermal and mechanical cleaning are combined in one main stage, reducing process repetition and saving plant time.
Durable SUS304 Construction
Built entirely from stainless steel to withstand corrosive washing media and daily continuous-duty operation.
Customizable Models
Different drum diameters and motor power options allow the washer to be matched to your target throughput and line layout.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Process
Material Input
Contaminated PET or HDPE flakes are continuously fed into the hot washing zone.
Chemical and Thermal Soak
Flakes are immersed in a heated washing solution to loosen glue, oil, and stubborn embedded contamination.
High-Friction Scrub
A high-speed internal rotor creates strong friction to strip away remaining surface impurities.
Clean Flake Discharge
Washed flakes are continuously discharged for rinsing, separation, drying, or the next washing stage.
Equipment Overview
Continuous Hot Washing Chamber
The main washing body combines heated chemical cleaning with continuous material movement so flakes spend enough time in the hot zone without interrupting line throughput.
Integrated Discharge and Support Structure
The integrated frame, access points, and material handling path help simplify installation and maintain stable transfer to the next stage of the washing line.
Technical Specifications
Core configuration data and model options for matching the hot washer to PET, HDPE, and mixed flake recycling lines.
Core Parameters
Selection Notes
Recommended Feedstock
PET flakes, HDPE flakes, detergent bottle regrinds, and post-consumer rigid plastics with stubborn contamination.
Best Use Position
After crushing and before cold rinsing, float-sink separation, or final drying stages.
Cleaning Target
Residual glue, oils, grease, food residue, dirt, and adhesive-related contamination.
Customization
Model size, motor configuration, and line integration can be adjusted to suit plant capacity and layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
A continuous system offers higher throughput because it does not need to stop and restart between loads. This improves overall efficiency, stabilises cleaning quality, and simplifies capacity matching for the full recycling line.
The system is designed to remove difficult contaminants commonly found in post-consumer plastics, including label glue, oils, grease, food residue, and embedded dirt or mud.
For higher final purity, a cold washing system can be integrated after the hot washer. This step rinses away residual chemistry and prepares flakes for drying and further downstream processing.
