Why Choose Energycle?

Modular Design

Customize your washing line to perfectly match your input material and output requirements.

Low Energy Consumption

Optimized motors and heating systems reduce operational costs and environmental impact.

Durable & Reliable

Constructed with high-quality, wear-resistant materials for long-term, stable operation.

Superior Cleaning

Advanced friction washing and rinsing technology ensures low moisture and high purity flakes.

Our Proven Washing Process

1. Debaling & Crushing

Bales are broken and plastic is shredded into smaller, uniform flakes.

2. Floating & Washing

Flakes are washed to remove contaminants like sand, dirt, and labels.

3. Hot & Friction Wash

Intensive hot washing removes glue and oil, followed by high-speed friction cleaning.

4. Dewatering & Drying

Mechanical and thermal drying reduces moisture content to under 1%.

5. Packing

Clean, dry flakes are collected and packed for reuse.

Advanced Features

Heavy-Duty Crusher/Shredder

Equipped with V-type rotor design for efficient, low-noise size reduction of rigid plastics and films.

High-Speed Friction Washer

Rotors operating at over 1,000 RPM effectively scrub material to remove the most stubborn contaminants.

Sink-Float Separation Tank

Efficiently separates polyolefins (PP/PE) from sinking materials like PET, ensuring material purity.

PLC Control System

Centralized Siemens PLC system with a touchscreen interface for intuitive operation and monitoring of the entire line.

From Pain Points to Solutions

Inconsistent Flake Purity

Problem: Residual labels, oil and glue impact downstream value.
Solution: Multi-stage hot and friction washing plus sink–float separation deliver high-purity output with <1% moisture (PET example).

High Water & Energy Costs

Problem: OPEX increases with heating and fresh water makeup.
Solution: Water circulation, optimized heating and dewatering between stages reduce consumption without compromising cleanliness.

Labor & Safety Risk

Problem: Manual handling and scattered controls raise incident risk.
Solution: Centralized Siemens PLC with interlocks and clear HMI reduces manual intervention and improves safety and traceability.

Unplanned Downtime

Problem: Abrasive wear and contamination cause frequent stops.
Solution: Heavy‑duty design, wear‑resistant materials and easy‑access maintenance points keep uptime high and changeovers fast.

Live Operation

What Our Customers Say

“After commissioning the line, moisture dropped below 1% and bale yield improved. We now run longer between cleanings with more consistent purity.”
Michael R. Plant Manager
“The centralized PLC and interlocks reduced manual handling and improved safety KPIs. Operators adapted quickly thanks to the intuitive HMI.”
Jennifer S. EHS Director
“Water recirculation and staged dewatering cut our utility costs without sacrificing cleanliness. Output quality is stable, which helps our downstream pelletizing.”
David L. Operations Director

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of plastic can this line process?

Our plastic washing lines are modular and can be configured to process a wide range of materials, including rigid plastics like PET (bottles) and HDPE (containers, pipes), as well as soft plastics like LDPE/LLDPE film and PP woven bags. Each line is optimized for the specific material's characteristics.

What is the final quality of the recycled flakes?

The goal is to produce high-purity, contamination-free flakes ready for pelletizing or direct use in manufacturing. For PET, we typically achieve a final moisture content of less than 1%, and PVC content below 100ppm, making it suitable for producing food-grade rPET (with additional processing) or high-quality polyester fiber.

How much space and power are required?

The footprint and power requirements vary significantly based on the capacity (e.g., 500 kg/h vs. 3000 kg/h) and the specific components included. A standard 1000 kg/h PET bottle washing line might require approximately 90 meters in length and have an installed power of around 215 kW. We provide a detailed layout and power analysis with every proposal.

Do you provide installation and training?

Yes, we offer comprehensive services including overseas installation, commissioning, and operational training for your staff. Our engineers will ensure the line is running smoothly and your team is fully equipped to manage and maintain the system for optimal performance.
