PET flakes hot washing machine

PET flakes hot washing machine is able to thoroughly clean the surface of PET flakes of dirt and impurities through high temperature hot water. This article will introduce its working principle, structure and other information.

The PET flakes hot washing machine is a crucial component in the plastic bottle recycling process, utilizing electromagnetic heating. The plastic fragments are immersed in water containing lye at temperatures ranging from 85-95°C for 30-45 minutes to achieve complete dissolution and eliminate impurities such as grease and adhesive substances.

Structure Of Plastic Scrap Washing Machine

PET flakes hot washing machine usually consists of the following main parts:

  • Firstly, the kettle body, serving as the core component of the entire plastic scrap washing machine, is typically fabricated from stainless steel, renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance.
  • The interior of the hot washing tank is usually designed with a heating device, such as an electric heater or steam heating system, to provide heat energy.
  • Next is a conveying device for feeding the plastic bottles to be cleaned into the hot washing tank and discharging the bottles that have been cleaned.
  • In addition, the hot washing pot is equipped with a spraying system to evenly spray the high-temperature cleaning liquid on the surface of the plastic bottles through nozzles to thoroughly remove the dirt and residues.
  • The whole structure is reasonably designed and easy to operate, which can efficiently complete the hot washing of plastic bottles.

Hot Washing Tank Working Principle

After friction cleaning and sink float separation, there will still be residual impurities such as oil glue attached to the plastic flakes. Therefore, PET hot wash tanks are required for the thorough cleaning of PET plastic fragments using a mixture of hot water and lye. Firstly, through electromagnetic heating, the water temperature is raised to 85-95°. Within this temperature range, the bottle remains undamaged while impurities are easily cleaned and separated. Then, lye is added to utilize chemical reactions to remove grease glue and other substances. Throughout the process, the stirring device facilitates the cleaning procedure. After stirring for 30-45 minutes, a clean finished product with a pH below 8% can be obtained.

Hot Washing And Cold Washing Of PET Flakes

The cleaning process of plastic bottles is usually done in two main ways: hot washing and cold washing. Hot washing involves using hot water and detergent to clean plastic bottles in the PET flakes hot washing machine, where the heat helps to kill bacteria and remove stains, thus ensuring that the inside of the bottle is hygienic. Cold washing, on the other hand, uses room-temperature water or detergents to clean plastic bottles and is gentler than hot washing. This method is more efficient and simple and is suitable for PET bottles with light surface contamination.
