High-Speed Friction Washer for Plastic Recycling
A high-speed friction washer designed to scrub PET, HDPE, PP, and mixed rigid plastic flakes, remove residual dirt and label glue, and improve downstream washing, separation, and drying efficiency.
- Configured according to material type, throughput requirement, and downstream process.
- High-speed internal friction helps strip away stubborn contamination before final rinsing and drying.
- Available with project-specific layout, wear part options, and integration support.
Equipment Overview
High-Speed Scrubbing for Cleaner Flakes
The friction washer uses a high-speed shaft and screen structure to force flakes into constant contact with water and with each other, breaking away dirt, label residue, and loose contaminants before the next washing stage.
Key Features
Improved Cleaning Efficiency
High-speed friction action supports cleaner material streams by removing loose dirt, paper fibres, glue residue, and fines.
Adjustable Operation
Working parameters can be tuned according to material composition, target output, and washing line requirements.
Durable Industrial Build
Designed for continuous-duty operation in demanding recycling environments with replaceable wear parts and service-friendly access.
System Integration
Can be installed as part of a larger washing, separation, and drying line for PET, HDPE, PP, and mixed rigid plastics.
Typical Applications
PET Bottle Flakes
Removes paper fibres, residual label glue, and loose fines after crushing and before final rinsing.
HDPE and PP Rigid Plastics
Improves flake cleanliness before float-sink separation, hot washing, or downstream drying modules.
Contaminant Reduction
Supports cleaner material streams before pelletizing, storage, or higher-value recycled flake production.
Custom Washing Projects
Configured to match local material conditions, target capacity, and existing recycling line layouts.
