Working Principle: A Step-by-Step Guide

The entire plastic film washing line is intelligently controlled via a central electric control panel and cabinet, ensuring synchronised operation. Each piece of equipment is seamlessly connected using conveyors for smooth material flow.

  • 1. Plastic Shredder: The initial crucial step is to cut the film into smaller, manageable pieces (1-5 inches) to prevent tangling and blockages.
  • 2. Plastic Granulator (Wet): Further reduces film size to 10-20mm. Constant water injection serves as a pre-treatment, partially cleaning the material.
  • 3. Friction Washer: A high-speed (nearly 1,000 RPM) unit that uses friction to dislodge hard-to-remove contamination and break down paper into removable fibres.
  • 4. Sink-Float Separation Tank: Uses water to separate materials. PP/PE films float, while heavier contaminants like dirt, sand, and metals sink and are removed.
  • 5. Centrifugal Dewatering: The first drying stage, using centrifugal force to remove a significant amount of water and save energy costs for thermal drying.
  • 6. Screw Press Dewatering (Optional): An advanced option that squeezes water out via high pressure, potentially replacing both centrifugal and thermal drying stages.
  • 7. Thermal Dryer: The film travels through stainless steel tubes with hot air to thoroughly dehydrate remaining moisture, ending in a cyclone separator to cool the film and remove fines.
  • 8. Product Silo: A dedicated storage tank for the clean, dry pieces of plastic film before the final stage.
  • 9. Plastic Pelletising Machine: The final, crucial step. A specialized water-ring pelletising system processes the clean film into uniform, high-quality plastic pellets.
