Proficiently processes a diverse array of rigid plastics, including PET, HDPE, PP, and more, offering flexibility for various feedstock.
- Environmentally Responsible Design
Features closed-loop water systems and minimal discharge designs, adhering to stringent environmental standards.
Inside the Line: Equipment Composition
A comprehensive line is an assembly of specialized modules, each performing a critical function in the transformation of waste plastic into reusable material.
Equipment Component | Primary Function |
---|---|
Feeding Conveyor Belt | Ensures a consistent and even feed of raw material into the recycling plant. |
Shredder | Initially shreds the material into smaller, rough pieces, preparing it for the granulator. |
Granulator | Reduces the size of the plastic pieces further, creating a more uniform particle size for efficient washing. |
Screw Washer / Auger | Transports material while simultaneously washing it, often used for conveying between stages. |
Sink-Float Separation Tank | Separates plastics based on density; e.g., PET (sinks) from PP/PE caps and labels (float). |
Centrifugal Dryer | Mechanically dries the product by means of high-speed rotation, removing the bulk of surface water. |
Thermal Dryer System | Utilises hot air to achieve final low moisture content in the flakes. |
Zig-Zag Classifier / Air Classifier | Effectively removes light contaminants such as labels, film fragments, and fine dust particles. |
Bagging Station / Silo System | Collects and delivers the final clean product into large storage bags or silos. |
Electrical Control Panel | Provides a centralised interface for operators to monitor and control the entire system effectively. |

Tangible Benefits of a Rigid Plastic Washing Line
- Reduces Plastic Waste
Significantly diminishes the volume of plastic ending up in landfills or polluting natural ecosystems, helping to alleviate environmental strain.
- Conserves Natural Resources
Lessens the demand for virgin petroleum-based resources, reducing the carbon footprint associated with new plastic production.
- Promotes a Circular Economy
Transforms waste materials back into valuable resources, encouraging sustainable manufacturing and consumption patterns.
- High Return on Investment
Generates revenue from the sale of recycled flakes and lowers disposal costs, delivering significant economic benefits and a swift ROI.
Please note: Equipment configuration and the specific process flow will be carefully optimised according to the characteristics of your raw materials and desired output.
