3. Complete Plastic Recycling Process
A typical food grade pet bottle washing machine may include the following stages:
1. Feeding and pre-sorting
2. Metal detection and removal
3. Shredding or granulation
4. Pre-washing
5. Friction washing
6. Hot washing,when required
7. Rinsing and contaminant separation
8. Mechanical dewatering
9. Thermal drying
10. Extrusion and melt filtration
11. Pelletizing
12. Screening,cooling,and packaging
The final configuration depends on whether the input material is bottles,rigid packaging,film,flakes,or production scrap.
4. Efficient Contaminant Removal

The washing process can be optimized for pet bottles,hdpe containers,pp packaging,or plastic films.
7. Efficient Dewatering and Drying
Moisture control is essential for stable extrusion and high-quality pellets.The system may use:
- Centrifugal dewatering machines
- Screw presses
- Thermal drying units
- Hot-air circulation systems
- Moisture monitoring devices
Efficient drying helps reduce energy consumption during extrusion and improves the appearance and consistency of the recycled material.
8. High-Quality Extrusion and Filtration
The extrusion section melts and homogenizes clean plastic flakes before pelletizing.Optional features include:
- Single-screw or twin-screw extruders
- Vacuum degassing
- Continuous or automatic melt filtration
- Laser or pressure-controlled screen changers
- Stable temperature control
- Automatic pressure monitoring
- Strand or underwater pelletizing systems
Fine melt filtration helps remove remaining solid impurities and supports the production of more uniform recycled pellets.
