Hazardous Waste Container Washing & Recycling Line

HW49 Hazardous Waste Container Washing Line

Efficiently recycle paint cans, IBC totes, and HDPE drums with a fully enclosed automated line for hazardous container processing.

Tired of Hazardous Waste Container Challenges?

Traditional disposal is costly, risky, and difficult to scale. HW49 provides a safer closed-loop recycling path.

The Pains of Traditional Methods

  • Higher risk of contamination and secondary pollution.
  • Manual handling increases worker safety risk.
  • Disposal and compliance costs remain high.
  • Difficult to meet stricter environmental regulations.

The HW49 Solution

  • Fully enclosed automation reduces leaks and exposure.
  • Multi-stage washing improves recycled material purity.
  • Converts waste into reusable and saleable output.
  • Water-circulation design lowers operating consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of containers can the HW49 line process?

HW49 handles 200L steel drums, HDPE plastic barrels, and 1000L IBC totes contaminated by chemicals, paints, coatings, and oils.

What is the quality of the final recycled material?

The multi-stage washing process produces cleaner flakes and scraps suitable for downstream pelletizing or metal recovery workflows.

How is wastewater managed in the system?

A circulation and filtration system reduces fresh water demand, and optional wastewater integration can support local discharge requirements.

Do you provide installation and training services?

Yes. We provide installation guidance, commissioning, operator training, and after-sales technical support.
