Pet Flakes Hot Washing Machine

The Pet flakes hot washing machine washes away contaminants such as oils and beverage liquids from plastic bottle flakes. During the plastic flakes washing process, the operator needs to add detergent to the machine to increase the cleaning effort. As the machine starts, the paddles inside the machine rub against the plastic bottle pieces to clean them.

Plastic Flakes Friction Washing Machine

In order to achieve the purpose of thorough cleaning, we have added another plastic flakes friction washing machine to the PET bottle recycling line. When the plastic flakes enter the machine, the high-speed rotating screw will stir the PET flakes to clean them fully. Under the action of centrifugal force, the machine can clean the surface of plastic PET flakes from sand, soil, and other dirt. Finally, the material is rinsed with clean water.

Pet Flakes Dryer

Plastic Bottle Chip Dryer is the last important machine in the plastic bottle recycling line. The dehydration rate of this machine is up to 97%. The machine is mainly driven by the motor to rotate the spindle at high speed.

At the same time, this allows the plastic bottle chips inside the machine to rotate at high speed as well. The centrifugal force of the machine’s rotation dries the plastic flakes.
