A complete plastic film recycling washing line, showing the process from shredding and friction washing to dewatering and collection of clean flakes.
Plastic Film & Bag Recycling Line

PP Woven Bag Raffia FIBC Jumbo Bag Washing Recycling Line

Turnkey continuous washing and decontamination systems engineered to process heavily soiled PP woven sacks, raffia bags, FIBC bulk containers, and post-agricultural films into ultra-clean, dry flakes ready for extrusion pelletizing.

  • Anti-winding shredding architecture prevents filament entanglement.
  • Multi-stage friction washing and density separation eliminate sand and residual chemicals.
  • Mechanical squeezing press combined with thermal drying reduces moisture below 3–5%.
  • Modular layouts from 500 kg/h up to 3,000 kg/h with closed-loop water treatment.

Line Layout & Engineering Drawing

Plastic film and woven bag washing line layout drawing

Process Layout Reference

This layout drawing illustrates a typical automated plastic film and woven bag washing line configuration. Equipment arrangement (straight-line, L-shaped, or U-shaped) is engineered to match your factory footprint, ceiling heights, contamination levels, and production targets.

Key Technical Features

Advanced washing, friction shearing, and density separation technologies engineered for tough post-industrial and post-consumer bag waste.

  • Ultra-High Purity Output

    Intensive high-speed friction washers and multi-channel sink-float tanks strip heavy soil, cement, inks, and adhesives.

  • Anti-Entanglement Design

    Heavy single-shaft shredders and wet granulators are equipped with wear-resistant knives and anti-winding guards for continuous flow.

  • Deep Dewatering Efficiency

    Mechanical screw squeezer press followed by hot-air pipe drying guarantees moisture <3–5%, saving pelletizer extruder energy.

  • Closed-Loop Water Management

    Seamless integration with DAF dissolved air flotation systems allows up to 90% water recycling, reducing wastewater discharge.

Typical Feedstock Applications

Engineered for a broad spectrum of rigid and flexible woven polyolefin packaging materials.

  • PP Woven Bags & Sacks

    Post-industrial grain sacks, sugar bags, and chemical fertilizer woven packaging.

  • FIBC Jumbo Bags

    Heavy 1-ton and 2-ton flexible intermediate bulk containers with heavy lifting straps.

  • Agricultural Mulch & Greenhouse Films

    Severely soiled agricultural LDPE films containing up to 40% sand and mud contamination.

  • Cement & Mineral Bags

    Coated and laminated multi-wall woven sacks with stubborn mineral dust encrustation.

Working Principle: Step-by-Step

Fully automated, PLC-controlled system with seamless material conveyance between reduction, washing, and drying stations.

1. Bale Breaker + Single-Shaft Shredder

Opens densely compacted bales and pre-shreds bulky FIBC sacks into loose 50–100 mm strips with anti-tangling rotor geometry.

2. Wet Granulator Pre-Washing

Reduces pre-shredded strips down to uniform 15–25 mm flakes while continuous water injection pre-washes away abrasive grit.

3. High-Speed Friction & Hot Wash

High-speed rotary paddles scrub flakes against perforated screens to strip stubborn surface printing inks, grease, and glues.

4. Sink-Float Separation Tank

Heavy stones, cement, metals, and glass sink to the bottom auger while clean floating PP/PE flakes are paddle-conveyed forward.

5. Mechanical Screw Dewatering

Continuous mechanical squeezing press expels surface water and compresses light film volume, lowering moisture below 10–12%.

6. Thermal Pipe Drying & Cyclone

Hot air pneumatic drying duct flashes off residual moisture, delivering clean, dry flakes with final moisture <3% into the cyclone.

7. Storage Silo → Pelletizing Line

Dry, purified flakes are pneumatically fed into buffer storage silos, ready for water-ring or strand pelletizing extrusion.
