pet plastic flakes

Our complete PET bottle washing line is the ideal solution for anyone wishing to start or improve their plastic bottle recycling business. This fully automated, turnkey solution processes baled PET bottles into contamination-free PET flakes. These plastic flakes can be sold at high prices to polyester staple fibre manufacturers or made into pellets for the manufacture of other PET products.

While our standard PET bottle washing line is sufficient for most facilities, customised setups with additional machines and larger capacities can be designed to suit your specific needs.

PET bottle washing line working principles

Our turnkey PET bottle washing line consists of our range of plastic recycling machines which are connected using various types of conveyor systems.

Unpackers: The first step in our plastic bottle cleaning line is to break up the compacted PET bales into a free-flowing stream. Once the large bales have been "broken", the bottles are free to move to the next machine.

Tumbler screen: An optional piece of equipment, the tumbler screen is a slowly rotating tunnel lined with small holes. These holes are slightly smaller than the PET bottles, so that small pieces of contamination (e.g. glass, metal, rock/dirt, paper etc.) can fall out when the PET bottles are moved to the next machine.

Wet plastic pelletizer: sometimes called a plastic crusher, our plastic pelletizer cuts PET bottles into small 10-15 mm sized flakes. With a constant spray of water into the cutting chamber, this wet granulation process pre-treats and partially cleans the material before transferring it to the next machine.

Air Classifier: Air classification is a method of separating lighter materials from heavier materials. The main purpose of using an air classifier is to remove contaminants such as paper, cardboard and plastic labels from PET flakes.
