If you are running a pet bottle washing plant, you need to follow these steps. PET mainly includes carbonated beverage bottles, mineral water bottles, pesticide bottles, etc. The processing and cleaning of PET bottles mainly include the following steps.

The steps of the PET bottle washing line include sorting, crushing, pre-washing, main washing, and rinsing. These five steps are important and indispensable.

  1. Sorting: sorting is to separate the impurities in raw materials that are not PET, such as miscellaneous bottles, variegated bottles, trademark paper, bottle caps, etc. Some things (trademark paper, bottle caps, etc.) can be removed in the later process. But some things (PVC/PS/rubber, etc.) cannot be separated in the subsequent process. Therefore, only in the process of sorting, can we get plastic bottle pieces of good quality.
  2. Crushing: In the process of crushing, plastic bottles are mainly crushed into plastic fragments.
  3. Pre-washing: the pre-washing process is mainly to remove the stains that are easy to remove and adhere to the bottle surface. If this process is well done, the burden of the main washing process can be reduced. At the same time, it also improves the cleaning quality, reduces the amount of cleaning agents, and reduces the cost.
  4. Main washing: main washing is the key step of the whole process. In this process, it is mainly to remove oil stains, glue, and other stains that are difficult to remove. The quality of bottle tablets is directly determined by the quality of this step.
  5. Rinsing: This process has two functions. On the one hand, the residual floating material can be floated out, and on the other hand, the cleaning agent adhered to the bottle piece can be floated out.

None of the above five processes is indispensable. No step is good enough to produce high-quality products.
In order to get the maximum profit, I personally think we need not only advanced cleaning technology but also good plastic cleaning equipment.
