The processing and cleaning of PET bottles mainly consists of five steps:
The five steps of sorting, crushing, pre washing, main washing, and rinsing perfectly recycle plastic bottles.
The production process of PET cleaning equipment:
1、 Sorting process
Sorting is the process of separating miscellaneous bottles, colored bottles, trademark paper, and other impurities in raw materials that are not PET. Branded paper, bottle caps, etc. can be removed in subsequent processes, while others such as PVC/PS/rubber cannot be separated in subsequent processes
Clean up during the sorting process, otherwise PET cleaning equipment will not be able to wash out good bottle pieces.
2、 Crushing process
In the crushing process, not only does it break the entire bottle into pieces, but it also has a strong pre-washing function, which is easy to operate and can remove over 80% of impurities such as sediment.
3、 Pre-washing process
The pre washing process mainly removes easily removed stains on the surface of the bottle. This process is well done, which can reduce the burden on the main washing process, improve cleaning quality, reduce the amount of cleaning agent, and reduce costs.
4、 Main washing process
The main washing is a key step in the entire process, which mainly removes oil stains, glue and other difficult to remove stains. Whether this step is done well or not directly determines the quality of the bottle slices.
5、 Rinsing process
This process has two functions: one is to float out the remaining floating material, and the other is to float away the cleaning agent that adheres to the bottle.
Some precautions to pay attention to when using PET plastic bottle recycling and cleaning equipment:
1、 Dehydration: It is best to use a cyclone dehydrator, which saves electricity and has a high dehydration rate.
2、 Rinsing: It is best to use rinsing equipment with rubbing, such as a spiral belt rinsing machine, to further remove residual stains and cleaning agents.
3、 Main washing: Use equipment with scrubbing and heating functions, such as a spiral belt main washing machine, and ensure the washing time; Choose a suitable cleaning agent to ensure the removal of all stubborn stains.
4、 Crushing: Select a suitable crusher, such as a forced feed crusher, and adjust the distance between the knife and the bottom of the screen to prevent too many fragments.
PET plastic bottle recycling and cleaning equipment features high automation, integration of crushing, conveying, cleaning, rinsing, and dehydration, good quality, and high output.
