Main Equipment Components
Plastic Crusher or Shredder
The crushing system in food grade PET bottle cleaning system reduces plastic waste into uniform flakes for efficient washing and downstream processing.Replaceable wear parts and durable cutting blades support continuous industrial operation.
Washing System
The washing section may include:
- Pre-washing tanks
- Friction washers
- High-speed rinsing units
- Hot washing tanks
- Floating separation tanks
- Screw conveyors and material transfer systems
This combination helps remove soil,food residue,labels,oil, adhesives,and other contaminants.
Dewatering and Drying System
Centrifugal dewatering equipment removes surface moisture from washed flakes.Thermal or hot-air drying systems can further reduce moisture before extrusion,helping improve pellet quality and processing stability.
Extruder and Melt Filtration
The extruder melts and homogenizes the cleaned plastic flakes.A continuous screen changer or automatic melt filter can be installed to remove remaining solid impurities and improve the consistency of the recycled material.
Pelletizing System
Depending on the product requirements,the food grade pet bottle recycling machine can use:
- Water-ring pelletizing
- Strand pelletizing
- Hot-cut pelletizing
- Underwater pelletizing for selected applications
The final pellets are suitable for reuse in injection molding,extrusion,blow molding,sheet production,fiber production,and other plastic manufacturing processes.
