Washing equipment only works if it is built around the material going into it. Two lines handling the same tonnage of bottles and film are different machines.
The lists below are the materials the equipment is regularly built for. What matters at the specification stage is how the material arrives, how dirty it is, and what the finished flake has to be.
The same throughput figure means a different machine depending on what is going through it. These are the material groups the equipment is built for.
Whole or baled bottles, with label and cap handling, cold or hot rinsing, and flake drying.
Agricultural, stretch and packaging film. Opened first, then washed by friction and rinsed.
Jumbo, cement and fertiliser bags, with dust removal before the wet stages.
PVC, PE and PP sections cut to flake for reuse in extrusion or injection.
HDPE crates, drums, jerry cans and pallets, flattened and crushed.
Unsorted rigid plastic, purge and factory scrap, separated by flotation and air.
Follow the sequence to see which machine handles your material, and where it sits relative to the rest of the line.
Compressed bales are opened into a feed the rest of the line can take.
Folded film and woven bags are separated before washing.
Bottles and containers are squeezed so crushing runs evenly.
Material is cut to the flake size the wash section needs.
Surface dirt and sinking contamination are removed in water.
Paper and adhesive are stripped from bottle flake.
Remaining film and paper are lifted out of the flake without using water.
Surface water is spun out so the flake can be bagged and shipped.
