After sorting, the PET material goes through a washing process to remove any impurities or contaminants such as dirt, labels, or food residue. The washing process in a PET recycling line includes several stages, such as pre-washing, hot washing, rinsing, and drying. The washing process ensures that the recycled PET material is clean and free of any contamination.
Once the PET material has gone through the washing process, it is shredded and ground into small flakes to prepare it for further processing. The grinding and shredding process in a PET recycling line can use several different types of equipment, including granulators or shredders. The output PET flakes must be a consistent size to ensure a high-quality final product.
A PET recycling line is a highly specialized process that requires a range of equipment and expertise to recycle PET material efficiently. The characteristics of a PET recycling line include sorting, washing, grinding and shredding, extrusion, and quality control measures. Through efficient and consistent processing, a PET recycling line can produce high-quality recycled PET pellets, reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
Plastic bottle recycling line mainly includes plastic bottle label removal machine, plastic crusher, high-temperature washing barrel, rubbing washing machine, dewatering machine, etc.
PET plastic bottles are widely used for packaging carbonated beverages, mineral water, fruit juice, and other kinds of beverages, they are the most used beverage packaging nowadays. More than that, PET is also widely used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical packaging, and many other fields. 650 billion PET bottles were produced and sold globally, and the increasing speed is still rising.
Step 1: Convey and picking (auto conveyor)
Step 2: Remove trademark (plastic bottle de-labeling machine)
Step 3: Crushing (plastic crusher)
Step 4: Cleaning (washing tank)
Step 5: Cleaning with hot water(hot water washing tank)
Step 6: Friction cleaning (friction machine)
As one kind of plastic cleaning equipment, a high-speed friction machine has its own unique function and advantage in the use of cleaning equipment.
The high-speed rotating screw allows the material to be fully rubbed with water, and the impurities (soil, sand, leaves, paper pulp) on the surface of the material are separated, and the dirty goods are washed with clean water. Unique water spraying design and high-speed running screw ensure an excellent cleaning effect.
Step 7: Washing and separating again (washing tank)
Step 8: Drying and dehydration (dehydrator machine)
The wet PP particles are gradually raised by the auger of the plastic dehydrator machine, and more water is extracted by the principle of high-speed rotation. The machine can automatically feed and discharge, with no need for manual operation, and greatly improve work efficiency.
Step 9: Storage (storage bin)
Recycled PET flakes are often made into different pellet sizes depending on the specific requirements of the production. Common pellet sizes are usually around 2-3 centimeters.
PET is a moisture-sensitive plastic, so recycled PET flakes usually needs to be dried, and our recycling lines process PET flakes with less than 1% moisture.
From a macro perspective, the prospects of the plastic water bottle recycling industry are very optimistic. At present, the main recycling industries include waste metal recycling, waste paper recycling, waste rubber recycling, and waste plastic recycling. The reuse rate of waste metal can reach 70-80%, the waste rubber can reach 47%, and the waste paper 20-30%. However, the reuse rate for plastic is less than 30%.
The main methods of dealing with plastic waste mainly include incineration, disposal in a landfill, and recycling. Plastic waste recycling maybe not be a very profitable business in many people's opinion. Exactly, one plastic bottle has very low value, however, in the big cities, millions of waste mineral water bottles will be produced by people at least, one-ton mineral water bottle probably has 60 thousand plastic bottles,which can make a profit of about 300 dollars.
Polyethylene terephthalate packaging - or as it's more commonly known, PET packaging - is a popular material for packaging products in a variety of different industries. PET plastic is popular not only for its crystal-clear transparency and durable yet lightweight nature, but also for the positive impact it has had on the environment. PET packaging is 100 percent recyclable and can be broken down to its base elements in order to create a variety of different products. Recycling PET plastic in this way helps decrease the amount of waste that's put into landfills each year and reduces the negative impact such waste can have on the environment. Below are just a few of the many things PET plastic can be recycled into.
The most common use for recycled PET plastic is in retail packaging. PET plastic is made from one of the few polymers which can be recycled back into the same format. This means that old PET plastic bottles or packaging can be easily recycled into brand new PET plastic bottles or packaging, with almost no discernable difference between the two items. PET packaging is used by many different industries, including the beauty, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries. Utilizing recycled PET plastic to package their products can help an organization decrease their carbon footprint while still ensuring that their products are well protected and beautifully displayed. PET containers made from recycled PET plastic retain the same structural integrity and almost glass-like transparency as containers made from nonrecycled PET plastic. Perhaps the most notable benefit of using recycled PET plastic in this way is that it can be recycled again and again, thereby reducing the amount of pollution and waste that is placed into landfills every year.
It may sound surprising, but PET plastic is actually a common component in many clothing items. As we've stated, PET plastic is made from an easily recyclable polymer. While this polymer can be recycled back into its original format, as is the case with recycled PET containers, it can also be recycled into other formats. In the clothing industry, PET plastic is generally broken down into its base polymers, which are then used to create polyester fabric. Polyester fabric can be put to use in many different clothing items and is a popular choice among many clothing brands because of its durable, lightweight, and often wrinkle-resistant nature. Polyester is also a popular material for creating wind and water resistant clothing. PET plastic can also be recycled into Poly-Fil or Fiber-Fil material, which can be put to use as insulation in winter jackets, snow pants, and even sleeping bags.
Your feet may be resting on recycled plastic water or soda bottles. Most carpeting is made from plastic fibers such as nylon, polypropylene, or polyester. In recent years, manufacturers have been able to create carpet fiber from recycled plastics, such as the plastic used to make beverage bottles. It takes approximately 50 two-liter bottles to create one square yard of carpet fiber. Like "virgin" plastics, the recycled plastic carpeting fibers often are more stain-resistant and color-fast than materials such as wool, and manufacturing carpeting using recycled plastics produces fewer emissions than using virgin plastics.
