See how the Hw49 line improves throughput, cleaning quality and operating safety when processing hazardous waste containers.
Compliance‑Ready & Eco‑Conscious
Closed‑loop washing options reduce discharge and help meet stringent environmental requirements while diverting drums and plastics from landfill.
High Throughput Automation
Automated infeed, shredding, washing and drying minimize manual handling and labor time, delivering consistent output shift after shift.
Versatile Container Handling
Engineered to process steel drums, HDPE blue buckets and 1000L IBC tanks, with modular stations that adapt to your contamination profile.
Built for Safety & Reliability
Enclosed operations, interlocked access and robust components support safe operation and long service life under continuous duty.
Optimized Soda Washing
Dedicated alkaline (soda) washing module accelerates removal of oils, paints and residues from hazardous chemical drums and plastics, improving decontamination quality while reducing detergent consumption.
Corrosion‑Resistant Construction
Contact parts available in 304/316 stainless steel with chemical‑grade seals and protective coatings, engineered to withstand alkaline and hot‑water service for long life and stable performance.
How the Hw49 Recycling Washing Line Works
A proven 11‑step sequence—from infeed and size reduction to multi‑stage washing, dewatering and final drying—designed for hazardous waste container recycling.
Technical Features & Specifications
Key modules and performance specs of the Hw49 hazardous waste container washing and recycling line. Configurations can be tailored to your throughput and material mix.
Heavy-Duty Shredder & Crusher
Equipped with a powerful double-shaft shredder and secondary crusher to efficiently reduce bulky containers into uniform pieces for effective washing.
Advanced Washing Modules
Includes soda washing, high-speed friction washing, and hot floating washing tanks to systematically dissolve and scrub away oils, chemicals, and residues.
Efficient Dewatering System
Multiple dewatering stages use centrifugal force to remove excess water between washing cycles, reducing energy consumption for final drying.

Hw49 Washing Line — Frequently Asked Questions
The Hw49 line is engineered for versatility. It processes 200L steel drums, HDPE plastic barrels (blue buckets) and 1000L IBC tanks that previously contained chemicals, oils, paints and other residues.
Final output is clean plastic flakes or recyclable metal suitable for downstream reuse. Multi‑stage washing reduces contamination so plastics can be re‑pelletized and metals can be re‑melted for new products.
The Hw49 can be paired with wastewater circulation and filtration options to reduce consumption. Any discharge must be treated to meet local environmental regulations before release.
We support on‑site installation supervision, commissioning and operator training to help your team run and maintain the Hw49 safely and efficiently.
