With more than 15 years of experience in PET recycling field, we can provide a solution that meets your needs in value and efficiency.

The system can treat different conditions of PET bottle: Beverage bottles, mineral water bottle, food bottles/jars (salad dressing, peanut butter, honey, etc.).

The PET can be heated and molded into numerous shapes. It is a clean, safe, and convenient packaging method. This makes it easy and sustainable to turn PET packaging into a circular economy, also called a closed loop.

Raw Materials

Beverage bottles, mineral water bottle, food bottles/jars (salad dressing, peanut butter, honey, etc.).

PET Bottle Recycling Process

De-baling→ Metal Removal→ Label Removal→ Metal Removal→ Bottle Pre-washing→ Optical Bottle Sorting→ Manual Sorting→ Crushing→ Dust Removal→ Flotation Hot washing→ Friction Washing→ Rinsing→ Flushing

A standard sampling of food-grade/filament-grade PET bottle recycling process, equipment configuration and the process will be optimized according to raw materials.

Technical Characteristics

Food Grade/Filament Grade Estimated plant parameters:

Input capacity (kg/h)	Required area(㎡)	Install power(kw)	Required water(m³/h）	Required steam(kg/h)	Required compressor air(m³/min)	Main power
1000	1300	550	2	600	3	5
2000	1600	800	4	900	4.5	7
3000	2000	900	4.5	1300	6.5	8
6000	3000	1000	9	2300	12	11

＊water consumption parameters are calculated based on using wastewater reuse system.

＊PET bottle material composition and factory management level will affect actual consumption.

Unit Introduction

Unpacking machine: When working, a forklift is used to place the bottle bricks on the platform, manually cut and pull out the strapping iron wire, and then the forklift pushes the bottle bricks into the rubber belt conveyor for transportation, and the unpacking speed is controlled by frequency conversion and speed regulation.

Trommel: The effect is to break up the lumps, sift out small garbage and part of the bottle cap.

Pre-washer: It aims to wash away the dirt and adhesive labels on the surface of bottle scraps that are delivered to the washing machine after being scattered by the unpacking machine with high-temperature agent to and deliver the washed bottles to the next process with the double screw.

Label Scrapping machine: The label scrapping machine is designed to scrap the labels attached to bottles. It mainly consists of feed section, rotor drum, nail tray, pedestal, lateral plate, discharge section and transmission device.

Label blower: Due to the weight difference between bottles and labels, labels are separated out by the wind force of the label blowing fan that is equipped to the discharge end of the drum of the blowing machine, brought into the label screen frame and collected by the trolley or blown to the wrapping machine; while bottles are outputted from the other end and delivered to the next process by the double-screw conveyor.

Material & Color optical Sorter: Remove non-pet bottles & color bottles.

Crusher: Wet grinding featured with unhindered feeding, stable output, low energy consumption, low noise, and firm structure is adopted in this production line.

Floating Washer: Remove caps.

Dewater: Removing dirty water out.

Zig-zag label blower: Removing label dust.

Hot washer: Smart control washing process, Smart chemical dosing feeder, Smart adding flakes and come out, Smart injecting steam water, Smart set heating time.

Dewater: Removing water and dry flakes into 1%.

Pipe Drying: Heating, heat exchange area 50 square meters.

Vibrating packing Silo: Effective volume 1.5m³, Hydraulic lifters.

DCS intelligent recycling line control system: The production process is controlled in real time, and data. Monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time. The system is equipped with an intelligent medical examination module to remind the equipment of regular inspection items in real time to avoid false or missed inspections.
