Key machines in the PET washing line

Bale opener / belt conveyor

Bale opener / belt conveyor

Opens PET bottle bales and feeds bottles evenly to protect downstream machines and keep stable capacity.

Label remover

Label remover

Removes PVC / paper labels before crushing, reducing label and glue content in final PET flakes for higher selling price.

Crusher

Crusher

Crushes bottles into uniform flakes with stainless steel contact parts and water spraying for pre-washing and size reduction.

Hot washer

Hot washer

High-temperature washing with caustic solution to remove oil, dirt and strong glue, improving flakes quality for bottle-grade or fiber use.

Friction washer

Friction washer

High-speed friction cleaning to scrub remaining labels, sand and small contaminants attached to PET flakes.

Floating washing tank

Floating washing tank

Separates PET from PP / PE caps and labels using the float-sink principle, improving flakes purity by density separation.

High speed dewatering machine

High speed dewatering machine

Centrifugal drying reduces moisture content to below 1.0% before storage or pelletizing.

Cyclone silo & storage

Cyclone silo & storage

Conveys dried PET flakes into silos for buffer storage, ready for bagging or feeding to PET pelletizing lines.

Clean PET flakes produced from recycled PET bottles after washing process

Waste PET bottles are first collected and processed through crushing, washing, and separation stages. After removing labels, caps, and impurities, the bottles are cleaned and shredded into uniform PET flakes. These clean PET flakes can be further pelletized or reused directly for manufacturing new plastic products.

Each plastic material washing project is customized. These examples show typical capacities and configurations in different markets.
