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 with less water waste.







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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
