Produce Premium “Hot Washed” Flakes and Maximize Your Profitability
Our Hot Washer System is engineered to eliminate the most stubborn contaminants like glues, oils, and grease. Upgrade your PET, HDPE, or film recycling output to a higher-value commodity prized by the market.
The Advantage of Our Hot Washer System
Superior Contaminant Removal
Effectively removes stubborn glues, oils, grease, and food residues that cold washing leaves behind, ensuring impeccable material cleanliness.
Enhanced Material Value
By producing premium “hot washed” flakes, you significantly increase the market value and desirability of your output, leading to higher profitability.
Unique & Efficient Design
Our innovative perforated auger sprays hot water from within, ensuring a 360-degree wash for maximum cleaning efficiency with optimized energy use.
A Unique Approach to Deep Cleaning
Our system redefines hot washing. Instead of just soaking, a large, slow-rotating screw auger propels plastic flakes horizontally through a bath of hot water. The auger itself is perforated, acting as a high-pressure sprinkler that sprays the flakes from within. This ensures every flake receives a thorough, comprehensive wash. As contaminants like glue and dirt are dislodged, they fall through a surrounding mesh screen tunnel, ensuring only clean material moves forward.
Key Design Feature: The Perforated Auger
This internal-spraying mechanism is the core of our system’s high efficiency. It creates constant agitation and direct, high-contact washing, which is far more effective than simple submersion, all while using energy and water more efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended water temperature for washing PET flakes?
For optimal results with PET, we recommend maintaining a water temperature between 80-95°C (176-203°F). This temperature is highly effective at softening and removing label glues without deforming the PET flakes themselves.
Do I need to add chemical agents like caustic soda to the water?
While our system’s mechanical action is very effective, adding a small percentage of a chemical agent like caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) or a specialized detergent can significantly enhance the removal of heavy oils, grease, and certain types of glue. We can advise on the best approach for your specific material.
How is the water heated and circulated?
The system is designed to be connected to an external heat source, such as a gas, diesel, or electric boiler. The hot water is then circulated through the system. The insulated design helps maintain the temperature efficiently, reducing overall energy consumption.
What is the typical residence time for plastic flakes inside the washer?
The residence time is adjustable via the frequency-controlled conveyor speed. A typical residence time for effective washing is between 10 to 15 minutes, but this can be fine-tuned depending on the level of contamination of your input material.
