PET Bottle Recycling Line
The PET bottles washing line is an important part of the PET recycling process. Chenxing washing line has a high degree of automation and processes batches of PET bottles into high purity PET flakes for Re-granulation or sale to manufacturers of polyester staple fibers.
Hourly output: 500-5000kg/hr
Power consumption: 180-12000kWh
Moisture rate: <1%
Output flake: 8-12mm
Overview
PET waste bottles recycling machine is designed for process waste PET bottles, such as mineral water bottles, cola bottles, pesi bottles etc. The PET bottle washing line including label-removing, crushing, washing, drying and packing; it is a perfect automatic recycling system to process the waste PET bottles into PET flakes.
A large amount of waste PET bottles come from daily consumption of bottle-packed drinks and causes pet bottle resources waste and environmental pollution. our PET bottle washing recycling machine specially design to recycle and reprocess waste plastic PET bottles, Cola bottles, Pepsi cola bottles, Mineral water bottle, Beverage bottlesetc.Â
The final PET flakes humidity will be less than 1% after processed by our PET bottle washing recycling machine ,dry and clean PET flakes could send to our pelletizing machine to make granules directly. We could supply the capacity of PET drinking bottle recycling machine between 500kg/h to 5000kg/h. The final product PET flakes have stable quality and various grades of application. The clean and recycled PET bottle flakes processed by the PET bottle recycling machine can be used to produce polyester staple fibers, PET tapes, pellets, PET transparent films and sheets, etc. Top grade PET bottle flakes also can be used to shape PET bottles again.
PET Bottles As Material For Our Washing Line
You will end up with pure, uniformly coloured, dry, high-quality PET flakes.

Working Process
The main function of PET bottle recycling machine usually includes four points. First to crush and wash the PET flakes finally get clean flakes. Second to remove the labels thoroughly, third to remove the bottles caps fourth to dry the PET flakes, finally to get clean, pure and dry PET flakes. Combining wet crusher, friction washer, high speed friction washer floating washer and hot washer to guarantee the finally flakes good quality.Â
01.
Belt Conveyor
The material enters the crusher from the crawler, and is driven by the inner roller.
02.
Label Remover
Remove labels from bottles.
03.
Manual Sorting Belt
If the label is still in the bottle, the worker can manually remove the label. Also, the different colors can be separated by hand.
04.
Moving Trommel Screen
Moving trommel screen to separate small stone,metals firstly.
05.
Friction Washer
High speed friction washer and hot washing system to wash the dirt.
06.
Floating Washer
For cleaning pet flakes, making the flakes cleaner and whiter. It is also a must-have equipment for bottles and caps.
07.
Dehydrator Dryer
High efficiency dehydrator dryer in moving speed 2000 RPM .
