A plastic film recycling washing line, also known as a PE film washing machine, crushes plastic waste into small pieces, then washes and dries them. The plastic recycling washing line is suitable for all kinds of PP, PE, PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, and other recyclable waste plastics with economic value.
A plastic recycling washing line consists of several machines, mainly including a plastic crushing machine, rinsing tank, plastic dryer machine, storage bin, and so on.
What is Plastic Film Recycling Washing Line?
Plastic PE film washing machine is a specialized equipment for cleaning PE (polyethylene) film, mainly for the waste PE film recycling process of cleaning links, can effectively remove the film surface dirt, impurities, residual chemicals, etc., so that it restores the clean state, to subsequent recycling and reuse.
This PE film washing machine has high production efficiency and a good cleaning effect. The moisture of plastic after drying is less than 5%.
Production Process of Plastic Recycling Washing Line
The production process of a plastic film pelletizing machine is a systematic process designed to clean and process waste plastics, making them suitable for reuse.
| NO | Process | Machine | Description |
| 1 | Crush plastic film into small pieces | Plastic crushing machine | The plastic crusher machine cuts the waste plastic film into small pieces of about 10-20 millimeters in size and moves them to the next machine. |
| 2 | Delivering plastic film pieces to the rinsing tank | Screw conveyor | Installed on the plastic crusher machine for conveying materials |
| 3 | Washing plastic film chips | Washing tank | Remove debris from plastic film mixed with dirt and wood chunks. If the material is too dirty, add more rinsing tanks. |
| 4 | Drying the plastic film | Plastic dryer machine | Plastic dryer machine utilize centrifugal force to shake off water from the film. |
| 5 | Store dry films and bags | Storage bin | Used to store clean, dry plastic film as raw material for plastic pelletizing machines |
Plastic Recycling Washing Plant Working Video
The operating principle of PE film washing machines usually combines mechanical force, water flushing, heating, and chemical cleaning.
This video is about the plastic pelletizing line filmed in the field. It describes how the plastic recycling washing plant operates, including a belt conveyor, a plastic washing machine, and a plastic shredder.
Main machines of PE Film Washing Machine
PE film washing machine is the key equipment combination to convert waste plastic film (such as PE agricultural film, PP packaging film) into clean recycled material, mainly including feeding and conveying, crushing pretreatment, deep cleaning, dehydration and drying, granulation and cooling of the five systems, through the mechanical force, water flushing, heating and chemical additives synergistically, to achieve the removal of dirt and recycling of resources.
Plastic Crusher Shredder Machine
Rolls or large pieces of plastic film are broken into 5-10 cm pieces for subsequent cleaning and melting.
Plastic Washing Machine
Removes dirt, ink, mud, and other impurities from plastic chips by hot water, detergent, and mechanical agitation.
Plastic Dryer Machine
The dewatering conveyor in the PE film washing machine separates the water from the plastic film by centrifugal force.
Above is the PE film washing machine. But our factory also provides plastic film pelletizing equipment.
After the waste plastic film is crushed and cleaned, it is heated and melted by the screw extruder, extruded from the die head into fine strips, into the water tank for cooling and curing, and then cut into pellets by the pelletizer.
Plastic Film Pelletizing Machine
The cleaned plastic film is melted into a paste at high temperatures, and then the molten plastic is extruded into thin strips through the die.
Cooling tank
Rapid cooling and shaping of the extruded plastic strip, the water temperature is controlled at 20-30 ℃, to avoid pellet sticking.
Plastic Pellet Cutting Machine
Cut the cooled thin strips into evenly sized pellets
Plastic pellet storage bin
It can provide a relatively closed space for the material to avoid the particles being polluted by the external environment (such as dust, moisture, etc.) and protect the quality of the material.
