A friction washer is a crucial piece of equipment in the plastic recycling process, designed to clean plastic materials (including films, sheets, and pellets) and remove moisture from them. These cylindrical machines operate through a tilted high-speed screw, demonstrating exceptional efficiency in cleaning materials by effectively removing dirt, grease, and other unwanted contaminants. Fine powders and water are separated from the grinding materials by the friction washer, which is protected by a stainless steel screen. Raw materials are fed into the machine from the bottom, undergo thorough cleaning, and are discharged from the top outlet, ensuring a highly purified final product.
The primary advantages of friction washers lie in their efficient contaminant removal capabilities and low maintenance requirements. This makes them an ideal choice for businesses aiming to reduce costs while achieving optimal results in the plastic recycling process. Additionally, friction washers are equipped with features such as wear-resistant steel blades, dynamically balanced rotors, and isolated bearing housings, ensuring durability even under harsh working conditions.
Working Principle
The Friction Screw Washer Machine houses a rotor within, adorned with many slanted paddles. As the rotor spins at a speed ranging between 500-600 RPM, it causes the plastic stream inside to scrub against each other vigorously. During this process, water is sprayed through the filter nets, leading to the complete separation and removal of soil, sand, and other contaminations from the plastic materials.
Feature
- Dynamically balanced rotor, ensuring robust and reliable performance.
- Bag-type screen integrated on the drum sidewall, enhancing drying and cleaning efficiency.
- Heavy-duty welded steel structure, offering exceptional durability.
- Isolated bearing housing design, effectively preventing water ingress into the bearings.
- Replaceable rotor, simplifying maintenance.
- High-efficiency and high-friction cleaning effect, ensuring thorough washing.
- Water-saving design, reducing water consumption.
- Supports batch processing, improving operational efficiency.

Application
- The washing process for plastic materials effectively removes contaminants such as dirt and oils, ensuring the production of high-quality recycled products.
- Removing water from the surface of plastic flakes and granules enhances material purity and boosts the efficiency of subsequent processing stages.
- Clean and pre-conditioned materials improve the performance of downstream recycling equipment, optimizing the overall recycling process.
- Friction washers are essential for facilities committed to sustainability, enabling the reuse of plastics and supporting participation in the circular economy.
- By producing high-quality recycled plastics that meet industry standards, friction washers help businesses contribute to sustainable packaging and manufacturing practices.
The Friction Screw Washer Machine is an epitome of how a simple principle of friction can be harnessed to achieve a clean, contamination-free plastic material, ready for further processing or recycling. Its design ensures not only effective cleaning but also a significant reduction in the manual labor and time involved in the cleaning process of plastic materials.
Another noteworthy mention is the friction washer machine which is used to remove dirt and contaminants from plastic flakes and films. It comes with a large rotor with several arrays of paddles, a dewatering screen, and a cleaning manifold for water injection, all accumulated on an inclined frame.
In summary, investing in a Friction Screw Washer Machine could significantly upscale the efficiency and quality of your plastic recycling operation.
