Friction Screw Washer for Plastic Recycling
In the realm of plastic recycling, ensuring material purity is paramount. Our cost-effective Friction Screw Washer is specially designed for cleaning and transporting plastic flakes, films, and regrind. It uses the core principle of friction to efficiently scrub off dirt and other contaminants, preparing your material for the next stage of recycling.

Working Principle
The Friction Screw Washer houses a rotor with slanted paddles that spins at 500-600 RPM. This causes the plastic stream inside to scrub against each other vigorously. Simultaneously, a special water spraying design ensures the complete separation and removal of soil, sand, and other contaminants from the plastic materials.
Key Advantages
- Dual Functionality
Combines high-friction washing with material transportation, saving space and investment in separate conveying equipment.
- Cost-Effective Cleaning
Offers a highly efficient cleaning process that rivals more robust systems, making it an excellent investment for achieving high purity.
- Continuous Operation
Designed for a steady and uninterrupted workflow, ensuring consistent cleaning performance in your recycling line.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Friction Screw Washer has two primary functions: it vigorously cleans plastic flakes and films using friction, and it simultaneously transports the material from one machine to the next in a washing line.
While both use friction for cleaning, this machine operates at a slightly lower speed (500-600 RPM) and is designed with an integrated screw conveyor for transportation. It is a highly cost-effective alternative for achieving excellent cleaning results while also moving material.
The machine is designed for continuous operation with minimal downtime. Routine maintenance includes checking the condition of the paddles and ensuring the water spraying nozzles and filter nets are clear of debris to maintain optimal cleaning performance.
