Label removing – crushing – separating bottle caps – washing – drying – storage

  • Firstly, if raw material is packed as a bottle package, a plastic baler will set the bottles off and then send them to a plastic bottle label removing machine through a belt conveyor.
  • Secondly, manual selection in the PET bottle recycling line is an important step for selecting bottles of other colors and bottles still with labels to maintain the purity of the finished product.
  • After that, the crusher will shred these PET bottles into flakes, and then they will be sent to the PET flake washing tank to remove the impurities and caps from the pieces.
  • Next, the hot water tank and frictional washing tank are there to clean the flakes further.
  • If you have higher requirements for the quality of the final product, you can decide the quantities of these washing tanks.
  • The last step of the plastic bottle recycling line is that the drying machine dewatered these PET flakes.

Raw Materials

The core raw materials of a PET bottle recycling line are used PET bottles, typically purchased in compacted bales. These bottles come from diverse sources, including beverage containers, mineral water bottles, carbonated drink bottles, cooking oil bottles, condiment bottles, and other waste packaging containers made of PET. They often retain labels, caps, and may have residual liquids or stains.

Finished Products

The primary finished product of the PET bottle recycling line is PET flakes, which serve as a key raw material for producing recycled PET products. These flakes can be directly used to manufacture polyester staple fibers for textiles like clothing, carpets, and padding materials. They also enable the production of PET sheets for packaging boxes and blister products, and can be re-blown into new PET bottles to achieve circular reuse of beverage packaging.
