Continuous Hot Washer System for PET and HDPE Flakes

In the realm of plastic recycling, efficiency and effectiveness are paramount. Traditional hot washing systems, often plagued by inefficiency and slower batch processes, can no longer keep up with the demand for high-quality recycled plastic. Our recently updated, advanced continuous hot washer system revolutionizes this process, offering unmatched efficiency and cleaning capabilities for PET flakes, HDPE flakes, and other plastic regrinds. This cutting-edge system is not only capable of handling heavily soiled plastic streams but also excels in removing oils and other stubborn contaminants with just a single wash cycle.

Working Principle of the Continuous Hot Washer System

The advanced continuous hot washer system operates on a straightforward yet highly effective principle. Plastic flakes or regrinds are stored in hot washing tanks, where they undergo a thorough cleaning process. Here’s how it works:

1. Chemical Bath: The plastic materials are mixed within a hot chemical bath, where contaminants such as glue, mud, and oil are partially dissolved and loosened. This step is crucial for preparing the materials for deeper cleaning.
2. Rotary Paddles: Inside the tank, specially designed rotary paddles spin at high speeds. These paddles force the plastic pieces to rub against each other, generating friction. This friction is essential for removing any remaining dirt or contaminants from the plastic surfaces.
3. Continuous Operation: Unlike traditional systems that operate in batches, our advanced system works continuously. This not only speeds up the process but also ensures consistent results, making it easier to calculate and optimize the washer’s capacity.
4. Enhanced Cleaning: The combination of the chemical bath and high-speed friction effectively removes even the most stubborn contaminants, ensuring the plastic flakes or regrinds are thoroughly cleaned in a single wash cycle.

Maximizing the Quality of Your Recycled Plastic

For those looking to further improve the quality of their recycled plastic, integrating a cold washing system directly after the hot washer is highly recommended. This additional step not only enhances the cleanliness of the final product but also prepares the material for any subsequent processing or recycling stages.
