PET Bottle Washing Line

PET bottle washing line is mainly used to recycle PET bottle flakes from old PET bottles for other post pelletizing processes. The PET pellets obtained after the SSP process can be directly contacted with the blow molding packaging of food.

Gangsu’s PET bottle recycling system combines a PLC controller with workers, which greatly reduces labor costs and effectively improves recycling efficiency. Combined with a variety of optical sorting instruments, it reduces the impurity content of the final material to less than 50 ppm, thus achieving FDA-compliant R-PET flakes.

Belt conveyor01

Belt conveyor

Used to convey PET bottle waste to the label remover or crusher in the back-end equipment.

Bale opener02

Bale opener

Breaks down batches of compressed and packaged PET bottles to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of subsequent sieving, de-labeling, crushing and other processes.

Trommel03

Trommel

In the rotating drum, the bottles will rotate forward while sifting out small stones and hard metal objects that are trapped to avoid damaging the subsequent equipment.

De-labeling machine04

De-labeling machine

The label remover in a PET bottle washing line serves to efficiently strip labels from PET bottles, ensuring the purity of the PET flakes for recycling.

PET bottle buffer silo05

PET bottle buffer silo

For temporary storage of de-labeled PET bottles.

Manual Sorting Platform06

Manual Sorting Platform

The manual sorting platform in a PET bottle washing line is essential for removing missed impurities, ensuring the purity of PET flakes for recycling.

Crusher machine07

Crusher machine

Used for crushing PET bottles into 12-18mm pieces.

Washing tank08

Washing tank

Separates PET materials from other low density materials by the buoyancy of water, and also has a certain cleaning and rinsing function.

Hot washer09

Hot washer

The hot washer functions is thoroughly cleanse PET bottles using heated water or steam, effectively removing contaminants and residues, thus preparing the bottles for further processing and recycling.

Centrifugal dryer10

Centrifugal dryer

The centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation removes most of the water from the material.

Zig-zag dryer system11
