Comprehensive PET Recycling Process
Our PET bottle washing line is engineered to handle the toughest recycling challenges—from heavily contaminated bales to mixed-color bottles. By combining advanced mechanical crushing, hydrodynamic separation, and hot chemical washing, we remove 99%+ of impurities (including PVC, labels, caps, glue, and oil).
Each system is customized to your specific feedstock quality and output requirements. Whether for fiber-grade or bottle-to-bottle applications, our solution delivers consistent, high-quality rPET flakes that command premium market prices.
Efficient Debaling & Sorting
Debaler breaks compressed bales; trommel screen removes fines, sand, and small contaminants before crushing.
Precision Wet Granulation
Heavy-duty granulator with water spray produces uniform 12–18 mm flakes while minimizing fines and friction heat.
Advanced Separation Technology
Zig-zag air classifier removes light labels; float-sink tanks efficiently separate PET from PP/PE caps.
Hot & Friction Washing
Intensive hot wash with chemicals removes stubborn glues/grease; high-speed friction washer polishes flakes.
Typical line position
- Upstream: bale opening & pre‑sorting → trommel pre‑wash → wet crushing via Industrial Plastic Crusher
- Downstream: hot wash & separation → dewatering & thermal drying → product silo → flake bagging / SSP / pelletizing (application‑dependent)

What is the guaranteed purity?
Our hot-wash systems achieve <50ppm PVC and <100ppm impurities, making the flakes suitable for fiber or bottle-to-bottle applications (with further SSP).
How are labels removed?
We use a combination of mechanical Wet Label Removers (for paper) and Zig-Zag Air Classifiers (for light plastic labels) to ensure high purity.
Is the water system closed-loop?
Yes. The system includes a filtration and treatment unit to recirculate water, minimizing fresh water intake.
Can it handle baled bottles?
Yes, the line starts with an automated De-baler and Trommel to break bales and remove loose dirt before the Crusher.
