PET-Flaschen-Recyclinglinie | Plastikflaschen-Recyclingmaschine

PET bottles recycling line is a production line specialized in recycling all kinds of plastic bottles. It can process Coke bottles, soda bottles, PET bottles, mineral water bottles, ordinary water bottles and other plastic bottles into clean plastic flakes.

Then these plastic flakes can be made into various products, such as wood plastic-type materials, sunglasses, plastic chairs, mobile phone protective cases, etc. Therefore, in today’s environment where all countries are advocating environmental protection, it is a wise choice to invest in a pet bottle recycling plant.

What is the PET bottles recycling process?

The main workflow of PET bottles recycling line includes several steps. Firstly, remove the bottle labels, then crush the PET bottles into small flakes. The PET flakes will be washed and separated in a sink float tank, PP PE flakes will be separated from PET by using water as a medium. The high-temperature cleaning and friction cleaning are the next step in the PET recycling plant.

Last but not least, the clean PET flakes will sent into a dewatering machine for drying. Some PET recycling plants prefer to package the plastic flakes as their last step. These recycling steps are not static.

We can customize plastic bottle recycling machine that meets customers’ requirements. Because the different customers have different recycling conditions, raw materials, etc. This means that we support personalized customized services to meet the needs of different customers.

Recycling materials & end products of PET recycling plant

The main raw material for PET recycling plants is discarded PET plastic bottles. These discarded bottles can come from various consumer scenarios such as beverage bottles, food bottles, spice bottles, cosmetic bottles, and so on. Whether the bottles are dispersed or packaged, the PET bottle recycling plants can handle them.

The end products of PET recycling plant are clean PET flakes, which are ultimately used for recycling to manufacture new PET products such as bottle flakes, fibers, and sheets.

The following table shows the basic data of the final PET flakes. You can obtain more specifications from our project manager.

Parameter	Data
Moisture	0.5-1%
Flake size	13-16mm
PVC content (bottle labels)	100ppm
PP PE content (bottle caps)	200ppm
Metal content	20ppm

Plastic bottles recycling line machinery

Do you want to know something about the machine in the pet bottles recycling line? Next, we will give you a detailed introduction to the plastic bottle recycling machine included in the production line and its functions.

Plastic bottle conveyor belt

Our plastic bottle conveyor belt is different from the traditional conveyor belt. The conveyor belt has a baffle at intervals, which can prevent materials from scattering. Its overall frame is composed of steel, a pulley, and a belt. At the same time, workers can also pick out plastic bottles that do not meet the requirements in this step. Therefore, the plastic bottle conveyor belt has another name-plastic bottle picking platform.

PET label remover machine

As the name suggests, the plastic bottle label removing machine is a machine that removes the label of the plastic bottle body. There are many gears inside the machine. When the machine is turned on, the gears that rotate back and forth can remove the label. The fan at the outlet of the plastic bottle label remover can blow the label away and to another outlet. Compared with manual off marking, this off marking method is easier and faster. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of injury.

PET bottle crusher

The plastic bottle crusher is one of the main machines in the pet bottles recycling line. Its purpose is to break the plastic bottle into pieces. There are 10 mechanical knives made of 9CrSi inside the device. Therefore, it can break the PE, PP, PET, and PVC plastic easily. It is especially suitable for large-scale mechanized production.

Washing tank

The plastic flakes washing tank can preliminarily clean the plastic flakes. This is also an important machine in the pet bottle washing line. It is worth noting that if your production scale is relatively large, you need to build your cleaning tank. There is a screw-pushing device inside the machine, which can push the materials forward on the one hand, and turn the debris over for cleaning on the other hand. We can also use it to separate PP or PE bottle caps from pet sheets.

Hot water cleaning tank

There are inevitably oil stains, mucus, dyes, and other stains in plastic bottles. Proper high temperature combined with proper detergent mixing can effectively remove product stains. The temperature of our hot water washing tank can reach 80-90 degrees. Therefore, it will have a better cleaning effect.

Friction washing machine

The high-speed rotating screw inside the plastic friction washer can make the material fully rub with water. So. It can separate the impurities on the surface of materials, such as soil, sand, leaves, and pulp. This step can realize the thorough cleaning of materials.

Plastic dehydrator

Plastic dehydrator is the most important piece of equipment for the dehydration and drying of debris in PET bottle recycling lines. The wet debris is conveyed to the inside of the plastic dewatering machine through the screw conveyor. Under the action of centrifugal force, excess water and impurities are removed and dried. Thus, dry, clean, and easy-to-store finished products can be obtained.

Storage box

The last machine of the last pet bottles recycling line is the storage box. The equipment mainly includes blowers, pipes, storage barrels, etc. It uses the blower to transport the dried plastic fragments to the storage barrel for storage. This is convenient and fast, reducing the possible pollution during the construction process.

Are PET plastic bottles recyclable?

The answer is yes, plastic bottles are recyclable. Because the material of plastic bottles is food-grade PET. It has the characteristics of not being easy to break, high transparency, safe use, and high recycling value. According to the data released by the National Chemical Laboratory of India, the recovery rate of PET bottles in India is 90%, while that in the United States, Japan, and Europe are 29%, 84%, and 60% respectively.

Recycling plastic bottles has become a common thing. At present, only a small part of the PET bottles recycled in the world have been made into plastics and unsaturated polyester products. Most of the rest is used in the textile industry. It is called recycled fiber in the industry. Therefore, the market for pet bottles recycling lines is large.

Summary

In the above, we introduced the equipment in the pet bottles recycling line and their functions. If you want to start a PET recycling plant or invest in the plastic bottle recycling machine, please feel free to contact us. We will reply to you as soon as possible.
