Lavage des bouteilles en PEHD Ligne de recyclage
An automated HDPE bottle washing recycling line engineered for post-consumer resin (PCR) feedstocks, including detergent, milk, shampoo, and household-chemical bottles. Crushing, friction washing, density separation, and thermal drying are synchronised to turn contaminated plastics into clean rHDPE flakes—ready for extrusion, compounding, or direct feed into our Pelletiseurs en plastique.
Modular infeed, high-torque wet crushing, optional hot washing, and closed-loop water treatment empower you to achieve premium flake purity even with heavy labels, caps, sand, and chemical residues in the stream.

Why Our HDPE Bottle Recycling System Excels
- Production stable, coûts d'exploitation réduits
Le convoyage continu et les recettes PLC stabilisent le débit tout en optimisant la consommation d'énergie et d'eau.
- Nettoyage en profondeur des résidus de bouteilles
Wet crushing, friction scrubbing, and optional hot washing remove oils, detergents, and odours to deliver cleaner rHDPE flakes.
- Label & Light Contaminant Removal
Air separation and screening reduce labels, films, paper, and dust—improving purity and downstream processing stability.
- Prêt pour le traitement de l'eau en circuit fermé
Conçu pour intégrer les systèmes de filtration et de recirculation afin de réduire les rejets et de simplifier la conformité.
Standard HDPE Bottle Washing Process Flow
From baled post-consumer bottles to purified rHDPE flakes—each stage is configured to your contamination level and target flake purity.
- Debaling & Pre-sorting
Ouvrir les balles, retirer les métaux/impuretés surdimensionnées et stabiliser l'alimentation continue.
- Concassage humide
Reduce bottles to uniform flakes while flushing loose residues, sand, and dirt in a high-water-volume chamber.
- Lavage par friction
High-speed mechanical scrubbing (over 1000 RPM) aggressively detaches labels, glued paper fibres, and stubborn dirt.
- Lavage à chaud (facultatif)
Chemical thermal washing softens glues and extracts oils, dairy fats, and stubborn detergents, ensuring food-grade or premium rHDPE.
- Séparation du flotteur et du plongeur
Density separation floats the targeted HDPE/PP while sinking heavier foreign plastics like PET, PVC, and metals.
- Dewatering & Thermal Drying
Automated centrifugal dewatering coupled with hot air drying reduces surface moisture to below 1%, preparing flakes for silos.

FAQs on HDPE Bottle Washing Recycling
It is designed for post-consumer HDPE bottles (milk, detergent, shampoo, household chemicals), typically with labels and closures attached. Feedstock can be baled or loose, and we can tailor infeed and washing stages based on contamination level and target purity.
Multi-stage friction washing, optional hot washing, and density separation reduce labels, oils, and residues. Final cleanliness depends on incoming material, but the line is configured to deliver low contamination and low moisture flakes for pelletising or compounding.
Yes. Air classification targets labels and light fractions, while sink-float separation helps remove heavier plastics (typically PET/PVC) from HDPE/PP. For higher-purity requirements, optional sorting and metal detection can be integrated upstream.
Central PLC with touchscreen HMI provides recipe control, safety interlocks, and real-time monitoring of water, energy, and throughput. Remote diagnostics and data logging can be included for predictive maintenance.
