Lavagem de garrafas de HDPE Linha de Reciclagem
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 Peletizadores de plástico.
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.

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
Abra os fardos, remova metais/impurezas de tamanho excessivo e estabilize a alimentação contínua.
- Trituração úmida
Reduce bottles to uniform flakes while flushing loose residues, sand, and dirt in a high-water-volume chamber.
- Lavagem por fricção
High-speed mechanical scrubbing (over 1000 RPM) aggressively detaches labels, glued paper fibres, and stubborn dirt.
- Lavagem a quente (opcional)
Chemical thermal washing softens glues and extracts oils, dairy fats, and stubborn detergents, ensuring food-grade or premium rHDPE.
- Separação de Afundamento-Flutuação
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 de equipamento | Função primária |
|---|---|
| Abridor de fardos / Esteira de alimentação | Abre os fardos (opcional) e garante uma alimentação estável e contínua na linha. |
| Pré-lavadora / Trommel (Opcional) | Remove areia, pedras e terra solta logo no início para proteger as máquinas a jusante e reduzir a carga de água. |
| Triturador/Granulador Úmido | Reduz o tamanho das garrafas e, ao mesmo tempo, elimina a contaminação solta para uma lavagem subsequente eficiente. |
| Arruela de fricção | A lavagem em alta velocidade remove resíduos persistentes, fibras de papel e sujeira remanescente dos flocos. |
| Lavadora de água quente (opcional) | Improves decontamination for oily or detergent-heavy bottles using heated water and controlled chemistry. |
| Tanque de separação Sink-Float | Separação por densidade, onde o HDPE/PP normalmente flutua enquanto o PET/PVC e contaminantes pesados afundam. |
| Rinse & Transfer Screw | Enxágua os flocos e transfere o material entre os estágios, mantendo um tempo de residência constante. |
| Desidratação centrífuga | Remove mecanicamente a água da superfície para reduzir a demanda de energia para secagem térmica. |
| Thermal Dryer & Air Transport | A secagem com ar quente reduz o teor de umidade dos flocos, permitindo seu transporte para o armazenamento. |
| Classificador Zig-Zag / Ar | Remove rótulos, películas e frações leves para melhorar a pureza final. |
| Silo / Estação de Ensacamento | Armazena e embala os flocos de PEAD acabados para facilitar a logística e garantir o fornecimento estável às linhas de granulação. |
| Sistema de controle CLP | Controle centralizado HMI/PLC para intertravamentos, receitas, alarmes e diagnóstico remoto opcional. |

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.
