Reference Price (For Budgeting)
Important: This is a budgeting reference only. A formal quotation will be issued based on your input material and required output specification (e.g., PVC/PP content, label/glue level, sand/stone, oil, moisture target, and color sorting requirements).
| Configuration | Capacity | Estimated Price Range (USD) | Typical Includes | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard washing line | 500 kg/h | 100,000–160,000 | Label remover, crushing, float-sink, hot wash, friction wash, dewatering + drying, label separation, control cabinet | Reference range varies with stainless steel grade, motor/electrical brands, and site utilities. |
| With optical sorting (optional) | 500 kg/h | Project-based | Adds color/contamination sorting (module selection depends on material) | Recommended for mixed-color streams or high contamination risk. |
| With wastewater treatment (optional) | 500 kg/h | Project-based | Settling + filtration + dosing options | Required when local discharge/reuse standards apply. |
What Impacts the Price?
- Input material condition: level of labels, glue, sand/stone, oil, moisture, and non-PET contamination.
- Output requirement: target flake cleanliness, PVC/PP content, and moisture level.
- Stainless steel scope: contact parts vs full stainless; thickness and grade.
- Utilities & layout: voltage/Hz, available water/steam/hot water source, and footprint constraints.
- Options: bale opener, pre-wash, extra hot wash, additional rinsing, sorting, and wastewater treatment.
- Commercial terms: Incoterms (EXW/FOB/CIF/DDP), spare parts package, installation & commissioning, and warranty extensions.
Typical quotation scope: equipment + control + standard spares. Freight, customs duties, local taxes, civil works, and utilities connections are quoted separately unless specified.
