How It Works in Detail
The PET Bottle Washing Line operates through a series of carefully designed stages. It starts with a de-baling unit that separates compacted PET bottles. These bottles are then moved through sorting, label separation, and pre-washing to remove contaminants. The heart of the system is the floatation tank, where PET material is separated from other plastics. This is followed by a series of hot and cold washing steps, with the final stage involving dewatering and drying, resulting in PET flakes that have less than 1% humidity.
Key Stages of the PET Washing Line
- De-Baling: The first step involves breaking down bales of collected PET bottles.
- Sieving: This stage removes loose contaminants like dirt and glass.
- Label Separation: Labels are mechanically separated from the bottles.
- Pre-Washing: Bottles are pre-washed to remove any remaining contaminants.
- Floatation: The bottles are then floated in a water bath to separate PET from other materials like caps and rings.
- Dewatering & Drying: Finally, the PET flakes are dewatered and dried, resulting in flakes with less than 1% humidity.
