Variable Feed Preparation
Film, raffia, and woven material are reduced to a stable size for washing without uncontrolled tangling.
This commissioning video documents a mixed PP/PE waste film recycling line before shipment. The test follows variable polyolefin feed through size reduction, intensive washing, separation, dewatering, drying, and pelletizing integration.
This page focuses on a mixed-material washing route for contaminated film, raffia, woven bags, and similar PP/PE scrap. The process must manage differences in bulk density, shape, soil load, labels, paper, and loose organic contamination.
Shredding or wet granulation creates a stable feed size. Friction washing and rinse tanks remove surface dirt, while density separation rejects heavier impurities before mechanical and thermal drying.
The commissioning run checks material transfer between modules, water flow, contamination discharge, moisture control, and the interface with optional pelletizing. Final equipment selection depends on feed composition, contamination, target output, and local water treatment requirements.
The purpose of this test is to confirm a coordinated washing route for mixed flexible polyolefin waste.
Film, raffia, and woven material are reduced to a stable size for washing without uncontrolled tangling.
Friction and rinse stages target dirt, paper, labels, and loose surface contamination.
Float separation helps retain PP and PE while rejecting heavier non-polyolefin material.
Mechanical and thermal drying prepare the washed material for storage or downstream extrusion.
Review a modular washing route for mixed polyolefin film, raffia, woven bags, and variable contamination loads.
