Core Components and Specifications

Wet Plastic Crusher

Staggered cutting geometry supports high throughput and uniform flake size. D2 tool-steel blades are durable and easy to maintain.

Steam Hot Washer System

Removes glue, oil, and organic residues with controlled temperature and dosing for stable washing performance.

Wet Plastic Bottle Label Remover

Mechanical friction with water spray removes labels efficiently while reducing bottle damage before grinding.

PET Flake Purification and Separation Tank

Separates PET from PP and PE by density to improve final flake quality and downstream processing consistency.
