Core Advantages
High‑Throughput Crushing
Engineered for rapid volume reduction, efficiently breaking down bottles into manageable sizes for optimal downstream processing.
Precision Sorting Technology
Employs advanced optical and material sensors to separate PET from PVC, metals, and other plastics for superior flake purity.
Automated Process Control
User‑friendly PLC interface with real‑time monitoring and automated adjustments, minimizing labor and maximizing uptime.
Durable & Space‑Efficient
Heavy‑duty, wear‑resistant components with a compact footprint suitable for diverse facility layouts.
Energy‑Optimized Design
Energy‑efficient motors and intelligent logic significantly reduce power consumption per ton processed.
Simplified Maintenance
Accessible components and clear protocols reduce downtime and ensure consistent performance.
The Recycling Process
Typical flow — configurable by feedstock and target quality.
1. Debaling & Liberation
Efficiently opens highly compressed bales into a loose, single‑bottle stream for effective sorting and feeding.
2. Pre‑Screening (Trommel)
Rotating cylindrical screen removes fines like sand, glass and small debris to protect downstream equipment.
3. Wet Granulator
Underwater cutting produces uniform flakes while pre‑cleaning material and reducing heat and blade wear.
4. Zig-Zag Air Classifier
Controlled airflow lifts labels and light films away from heavier PET flakes for improved purity.
5. Sink/Float Separation
PET sinks while PP/PE caps float, enabling effective density‑based separation in water.
6–11. Hot Wash → Dewater → Dry → Store → Pelletize
Hot washing removes residues; mechanical dewatering and thermal drying reduce moisture; clean flakes are stored or pelletized for uniform feedstock.
Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes PET plastic?
PET offers strength, clarity and barrier performance, widely used for beverage bottles and food packaging and marked with the #1 recycling symbol.
What product quality can the line reach?
Configurations deliver high‑purity flakes for fiber, strapping and sheet. With added purification steps, food‑grade targets may be addressed.
What capacities are available?
Standard ranges from 300–6000 kg/h. We tailor to your material supply and market demands.
Do you provide installation and training?
Yes. We offer installation supervision, commissioning and hands‑on training to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
