Process Flow of Plastic Bottle Recycling Line

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 and Finished Products of Plastic Bottle Recycling Line

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.
The materials above are not all the raw materials that can be used in the PET bottle recycling plant. If you want to inquire about the materials you have, you can leave a message for us.



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.



Main machines for Plastic Bottle Recycling Line

Открыватель балок для ПЭТ-бутылок
Unpack and loosen tightly compressed bales of used PET bottles.
The machine uses rotating blades to break apart the bale’s strapping and separate the bundled bottles, converting them into loose individuals for subsequent processing.

Сито-тумблер для переработки ПЭТ-бутылок
The tumbler screen for the PET bottle recycling line serves to screen out fine impurities from PET bottle fragments.
It utilizes a rotating drum with meshed screens to separate tiny contaminants like sand, paper scraps, and cap debris from crushed PET flakes.

Plastic Bottle Label Removing Machine
The machine is usually equipped with an adjustable blade device and can handle different bottle types, such as mineral water bottles and beverage bottles, as well as a wide range of materials, such as paper labels and PVC/PE film labels.
The machine in the PET bottle washing line operates stably and has a 98% de-labeling rate, saving labor.

PET Bottle Crushing Machine
Система предназначена для измельчения переработанных пластиковых бутылок на мелкие кусочки. Измельчитель ПЭТ-бутылок является важной частью оборудования для переработки пластиковых бутылок.

PP PE Separating Tank
Используется для отделения крышек из ПП или ПЭ от хлопьев ПЭТ. Этот процесс приводит к получению чистых хлопьев из ПЭТ-бутылок для последующей переработки.

Hot Washing Tank
Это достигается добавлением промышленного щелочного раствора в горячую мойку в высокотемпературной воде, таким образом удаляя жир с поверхности хлопьев из ПЭТ-бутылок и делая их более чистыми и прозрачными.

Frictional Washing Machine
Бутылки протираются и чистятся от любых остатков песка, стекла, металла, бумажной пыли и т.д. на поверхности бутылки.

PET Bottle Washing Machine
Многоступенчатый холодный обдув удаляет промышленную щелочную воду и примеси с поверхности хлопьев, делая их более чистыми и свободными от загрязнений.

Plastic Dryer Machine
Высокоскоростное вращение машины удаляет воду из хлопьев, что приводит к получению сухих и чистых хлопьев, которые могут быть непосредственно упакованы в мешки.
The final PET bottle washing line can be flexibly adjusted according to the quality requirements, so please feel free to contact us with your ideas and requirements so that we can design a recycling line benefiting your PET bottle recycling plant.
