Process stages are arranged for more reliable flow through shredding, washing, and drying.
Project-Based Layout
Line configuration can be adjusted according to material condition and workshop constraints.
Typical Applications
Contaminated Plastic Waste
Designed for washed rigid plastics, films, bottles, or mixed recyclable feedstock.
Improved Material Purity
Supports downstream drying, pelletizing, or resale of cleaned flakes.
Integrated Recycling Plants
Can be linked with shredders, crushers, dryers, and water treatment systems.
Customized Plant Projects
Configured according to contamination level, output target, and installation conditions.
HDPE Bottle Washing Line Process
| Process Step | Function in the Line |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Friction Washer | 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. |
| Sink-Float Separation Tank | 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. |
| Centrifugal Dewatering | 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. |
| PLC Control System | Centralised HMI/PLC control for interlocks, recipes, alarms, and optional remote diagnostics. |
