High-Speed Friction Washer for Plastic Recycling

In the world of plastic recycling, efficiency and cleanliness are paramount. Our high-speed friction washer is a powerhouse designed to elevate your recycling process by delivering cleaner, more refined plastic flakes and films. It works perfectly alongside our Sink Float Separation Tank and Centrifugal Dryer for a complete washing solution.

How It Works

At the heart of the friction washer is a long shaft rotating at over 1,000 RPM. This high-speed rotation forces plastic flakes or films to rub against each other and a surrounding mesh screen, effectively scrubbing away contaminants like dirt, paper, and cardboard.

  • Steep Incline Design

    The machine is set at a steep incline, ensuring plastic remains inside for an extended period, maximizing the cleaning process.

  • Intense Friction & Pressure

    As plastic spins at high speeds, the intense friction loosens and removes stubborn contaminants.

  • Water-Efficient Jets

    Strategically placed water jets and nozzles are used for targeted cleaning, conserving water compared to traditional washers.

  • Clean Plastic Output

    The thoroughly cleaned plastic exits at the top, free from contaminants and ready for the next stage of recycling.

Benefits of a High-Speed Friction Washer

  • Superior Cleaning Efficiency

    Excels in removing a wide range of contaminants, ensuring the recycled plastic is of the highest quality.

  • Water Conservation

    Reduces water usage through targeted jets, making your recycling process more sustainable and cost-effective.

  • Scalable to Your Needs

    Available in various models to meet your specific capacity requirements, with custom options available.

  • Durable & Reliable Design

    Built for longevity to minimize downtime and maintenance costs in demanding industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of plastic can this machine wash?

The high-speed friction washer is ideal for cleaning a variety of plastic materials, including hard plastic flakes (like PET and HDPE), soft plastic films (like PE and PP), and other plastic regrinds.

How is this different from a regular washing tank?

A regular washing tank primarily soaks and gently agitates material. A friction washer uses intense, high-speed friction (over 1000 RPM) to actively scrub the plastic surfaces, making it far more effective at removing stubborn, stuck-on contaminants like dirt, paper, and glue.

Is this machine difficult to maintain?

No, it is designed for durability and ease of maintenance. The main components, such as the rotor and mesh screen, are built for longevity. Regular checks and cleaning of the screen are the primary maintenance tasks, ensuring the machine operates continuously in demanding environments.
