Friction Washer for PET Bottles Recycling

Friction washer plastic recycling is used to clean the surface of PET flakes of sediment and other impurities with a capacity of up to 2000kg/h. ,which is an important cleaning equipment in the plastic bottle recycling line.

The Shuliy plastic friction washer utilizes the principle of friction to achieve efficient deep cleaning of plastic fragments through the synergistic action of a high-speed rotating impeller and a powerful water flow. It is designed to deal with various impurities on PET bottle flakes, which plays a vital role in PET bottle recycling plants.

What Is a Plastic Friction Washer?

Application

  • The friction washer plastic recycling machine is specially designed for further cleaning PET bottle flakes.
  • The combined action of friction and rinsing efficiently removes dirt and impurities from the surface of PET bottle flakes, including residual liquids, food residues, and other contaminants.
  • This type of washer typically utilizes a multi-stage cleaning process and follows a hot washing tank to ensure that PET bottle flakes are thoroughly cleaned to meet strict recycling standards.

Raw Material

  • The friction washing machine is typically utilized in PET bottle recycling lines.
  • It can also clean crushed PP PE plastic flakes, such as PE agricultural film, domestic waste nylon film, industrial waste stretched film, cement bags, snakeskin bags, space bags, etc.
  • Especially for the agricultural film with large sediment content, the sand removal effect is more obvious.

Structure of Friction Washing Machine

  • The overall appearance of the friction cleaning machine is cylindrical and inclined, facilitating water circulation and impurity separation.
  • The inner core consists of a long shaft with high-speed rotation and numerous blades, supported at both ends by bearings and encased in a dismountable filter net.
  • Both filter net and shaft are housed in a robustly manufactured frame. If necessary, an additional protective casing can be installed outside the cylindrical slot.
  • In addition, the machine is equipped with numerous water nozzles that spray water, effectively conserving water.

When working, the material enters the machine body through the feeding port, and under the action of the high-speed rotating screw, it is fully rubbed with the flowing water to achieve the purpose of thorough cleaning. This structural design makes the friction cleaner able to process all kinds of materials quickly and effectively, and it is widely used in plastic bottle recycling plants.

How Does a Frictional Washing Machine Work?

  • The friction cleaning machine is placed at a 45-degree angle and the dirty plastic stream enters into the chamber from the bottom.
  • Water jets spray water while the motor drives the impeller to rotate at high speed.
  • As a result of friction between the impeller and screen, impurities such as labels, soil, sand, dust, etc. are removed and discharged from the bottom of the machine during cleaning.
  • Meanwhile, clean plastic fragments are conveyed to the top outlet during this rotation process.

The entire process is highly efficient and energy-saving, as it not only achieves deep cleaning of dirty plastic through the dual action of friction and water flow but also utilizes a water recycling system to reduce water waste.
