Lavaggio bottiglie HDPE Linea di riciclaggio
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 Pellettizzatori di plastica.
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
- Produzione stabile, costi operativi inferiori
Il trasporto continuo e le ricette PLC stabilizzano la produttività ottimizzando al contempo il consumo di energia e acqua.
- Pulizia profonda per residui di bottiglie
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.
- Pronto per il trattamento dell'acqua a circuito chiuso
Progettato per integrare sistemi di filtrazione e ricircolo per ridurre gli scarichi e semplificare la conformità.
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
Aprire le balle, rimuovere metalli/impurità di grandi dimensioni e stabilizzare l'alimentazione continua.
- Frantumazione a umido
Reduce bottles to uniform flakes while flushing loose residues, sand, and dirt in a high-water-volume chamber.
- Lavaggio per attrito
High-speed mechanical scrubbing (over 1000 RPM) aggressively detaches labels, glued paper fibres, and stubborn dirt.
- Lavaggio a caldo (facoltativo)
Chemical thermal washing softens glues and extracts oils, dairy fats, and stubborn detergents, ensuring food-grade or premium rHDPE.
- Separazione a galleggiamento-affondamento
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.
Inside the Line: Core Recycling Equipment Composition
A professional HDPE bottle washing recycling line is constructed from heavy-duty modules—each engineered for maximum decontamination, rigorous density separation, and energy-efficient drying.
| Componente dell'attrezzatura | Funzione primaria |
|---|---|
| Apriballe / Trasportatore di alimentazione | Apre le balle (opzionale) e garantisce un'alimentazione stabile e continua nella linea. |
| Prelavaggio/Vaglio a tamburo (Opzionale) | Rimuove tempestivamente sabbia, pietre e sporco non compatto per proteggere le macchine a valle e ridurre il carico d'acqua. |
| Frantoio/granulatore a umido | Riduce le dimensioni delle bottiglie e rimuove al contempo la contaminazione superficiale per un lavaggio efficiente a valle. |
| Rondella di attrito | Lo sfregamento ad alta velocità rimuove i residui ostinati, le fibre di carta e lo sporco residuo dei fiocchi. |
| Lavatrice a caldo (opzionale) | Improves decontamination for oily or detergent-heavy bottles using heated water and controlled chemistry. |
| Serbatoio di separazione lavello-galleggiante | Separazione della densità in cui l'HDPE/PP solitamente galleggia mentre il PET/PVC e i contaminanti pesanti affondano. |
| Rinse & Transfer Screw | Risciacqua i fiocchi e trasferisce il materiale tra le fasi mantenendo un tempo di residenza costante. |
| Disidratazione centrifuga | Rimuove meccanicamente l'acqua superficiale per ridurre il fabbisogno energetico dell'essiccazione termica. |
| Thermal Dryer & Air Transport | L'essiccazione ad aria calda riduce il contenuto di umidità dei fiocchi e li trasporta verso lo stoccaggio. |
| Classificatore a zig-zag/aria | Rimuove etichette, pellicole e frazioni leggere per migliorare la purezza finale. |
| Silo / Stazione di insaccamento | Conserva e confeziona i fiocchi di HDPE finiti per una logistica semplice e un'alimentazione stabile alle linee di pellettizzazione. |
| Sistema di controllo PLC | Controllo HMI/PLC centralizzato per interblocchi, ricette, allarmi e diagnostica remota opzionale. |

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.
