HDPE Bottle Washing Linha de Reciclagem
An automated HDPE bottle recycling washing line engineered for post-consumer detergent, milk, shampoo, and household-chemical bottles. Crushing, washing, separation, and drying are synchronised to turn contaminated bottles into clean HDPE flakes—ready for extrusion, compounding, or direct feed into our Peletizadores de plástico.
Modular infeed, wet crushing, optional hot washing, and closed-loop water treatment help you hit stable quality targets even with labels, caps, sand, and residue in the stream.

Why Our HDPE Bottle Washing Line Performs
- Stable Output, Lower Operating Cost
Continuous conveying and PLC recipes stabilise throughput while optimising power and water consumption.
- Deep Cleaning for Bottle Residues
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.
- Closed-Loop Water Treatment Ready
Designed to integrate filtration and recirculation systems to reduce discharge and simplify compliance.
Typical Process Flow
From baled bottles to clean flakes—each stage is configured to your contamination level and quality target.
- Debaling & Pre-sorting
Open bales, remove metals/oversized impurities, and stabilise continuous infeed.
- Wet Crushing
Reduce bottles to flakes while flushing loose residues and dirt.
- Lavagem por fricção
High-speed scrubbing lifts labels, fibres, and stubborn contamination.
- Hot Washing (Optional)
Improves removal of oils, detergents, and odours for higher quality requirements.
- Separação de Afundamento-Flutuação
Separates HDPE/PP from heavier contaminants such as PET/PVC.
- Desidratação e Secagem
Centrifugal dewatering and thermal drying deliver low-moisture flakes ready for storage or pelletising.
Dentro da Linha: Composição do Equipamento
A complete HDPE bottle washing line is built from specialised modules—each tuned for infeed stability, residue removal, density separation, and low-moisture drying.
| Componente de equipamento | Função primária |
|---|---|
| Bale Opener / Feeding Conveyor | Opens bales (optional) and ensures stable, continuous feeding into the line. |
| Pre-washer / Trommel (Optional) | Removes sand, stones, and loose dirt early to protect downstream machines and reduce water load. |
| Wet Crusher / Granulator | Size-reduces bottles while flushing away loose contamination for efficient downstream washing. |
| Arruela de fricção | High-speed scrubbing removes stubborn residues, paper fibres, and remaining dirt from flakes. |
| Hot Washer (Optional) | Improves decontamination for oily or detergent-heavy bottles using heated water and controlled chemistry. |
| Tanque de separação Sink-Float | Density separation where HDPE/PP typically float while PET/PVC and heavy contaminants sink. |
| Rinse & Transfer Screw | Rinses flakes and transfers material between stages while maintaining consistent residence time. |
| Desidratação centrífuga | Mechanically removes surface water to reduce thermal drying energy demand. |
| Thermal Dryer & Air Transport | Hot-air drying brings flakes to low moisture content and conveys them to storage. |
| Zig-Zag / Air Classifier | Removes labels, films, and light fractions to improve final purity. |
| Silo / Bagging Station | Stores and packs the finished HDPE flakes for easy logistics and stable feeding to pelletising lines. |
| Sistema de controle CLP | Centralised HMI/PLC control for interlocks, recipes, alarms, and optional remote diagnostics. |
Typical Applications for HDPE Bottle Washing
- Post-consumer HDPE Bottles
Milk, detergent, shampoo, and household-chemical bottles—washed into stable, low-odour HDPE flakes for reuse.
- Caps, Rings & Label Fractions
Supports separation of PP/PE closures and light label fractions to lift overall product purity and value.
- Rigid PP/PE Containers
Can be configured for jerrycans, crates, and small rigid packaging alongside HDPE bottles with modular crushing and washing stages.

perguntas frequentes
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.
PLC central com HMI touch screen oferece controle de receita, interlock de segurança e monitoramento em tempo real de água, energia e capacidade. Diagnóstico remoto e registro de dados podem ser incluídos para manutenção preditiva.
