A PET Washing Line is an essential system in the plastic recycling process, specifically designed to clean and process PET bottles into high-quality PET flakes.

The Key To Producing High-Quality PET Flakes

To produce high quality PET bottle resins, you need to start from the following aspects:

Use of High-Quality Raw M aterials

Choosing clean and well-sorted PET bottles as raw material is the foundation. Try to avoid mixing other impurities such as PVC and metal, which will affect the purity of PET bottle flakes.

Remove Impurities

Configure efficient separation equipment. Such as plastic bottle label remover and float sink plastic separation, which can effectively separate PVC labels and PP bottle caps.

Optimizing the Washing Process

The use of advanced washing machines and rational processes, such as hot washing tanks and friction washers, effectively removes oil, adhesive, and label residues.

When hot washing, the temperature and time of washing should be strictly controlled to avoid damaging the characteristic viscosity of bottle flakes. In addition, detergents can be added in appropriate amounts to effectively remove stubborn stains and discolouration, but at the same time care should be taken to keep the pH value within a reasonable range.

Use of High-Quality Drying Equipment

After cleaning, the water content of the bottle flakes is ensured to be less than 0.5 percent using a high-efficiency centrifugal dewatering machine and a hot-air drying plant, thus avoiding problems during subsequent processing.

What is High-Quality PET Bottle Flakes?

High quality PET bottle flakes usually have the following characteristics:

• High purity: Contains very few impurities, especially PVC, PP, and PE with less than 0.01%.
• Good color transparency: the color of bottle flakes is close to that of virgin PET material, with no obvious signs of yellowing or contamination.
• Low water content: kept below 0.5% to ensure the stability of subsequent granulation or injection molding process.
• Uniformity of particle size: contributes to uniform heating and handling for subsequent processing.

How Much Does It Cost To Set Up a PET Washing Line?

The price of a PET washing line mainly depends on the capacity, equipment configuration, and degree of automation. Typically, small recycling lines cost about tens of thousands of dollars, and large plastic bottle cleaning lines can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

What Equipment Is Included In A Complete PET Washing Line?

• Conveyor belt: feeding PET bottles into the washing line.
• Máquina para quitar etiquetas de botellas de PET: remove the label on the bottle.
• PET bottle crusher machine: crushes PET bottles into small flakes for subsequent cleaning.
• Float sink separator: removes light impurities such as caps and labels.
• Hot washed PET flakes machine: removes adhesives and oils with hot water and detergent.
• Friction washer machine: Friction washes away residual stains and cleaning agents.
• Secadora de escamas de PET: Removes most of the water from the surface of the flakes.
• Air separation machine: further drying and removal of fine contaminants and labels.

The Role of High Quality PET Bottle Flakes

Producing high-quality PET bottle flakes not only improves market competitiveness but also meets a wide range of industrial needs. The main uses include:

Production of recycled PET pellets: Used in the production of high-value-added products such as bottle blowing and injection molding.

Textile Industry: PET bottle flakes can be processed into polyester fibre for the manufacture of garments, carpets, etc.

Packaging Industry: Recycled MASCOTA bottle resins can be used in the production of food-grade packaging materials, reducing the use of virgin plastics.

Industrial Applications: Used in the industrial field for the production of plastic sheets, pipes and other products.

The output of high quality PET bottle flakes through PET washing line can not only create economic benefits for enterprises, but also help the development of environmental protection.

From raw material selection to equipment configuration, from the cleaning process to the drying process, each step is crucial to the quality of bottle flakes.
