01

The rigid washing plants are designed for recycling post-consumer hard materials like bottles, injection waste, or rigid materials. POLYTEC systems produce uniform plastic flakes with high purity and low moisture level.

02

Waste rigid plastic material can be in many different conditions in terms of moisture, contamination, and rigid type, basically divided into the following families:

Bottles, chemical drums, HDPE milk bottles, industrial pipes etc.

1. Designed for rigid plastics with a wall thickness ranging from 1-25mm

2. Minimizes the recycling water flow rate and evaporation losses

3. Wear resistant design to maximize the consistent running of the system and minimize operational costs

4. High speed washing system with corresponding speed according to material type

5. The under-water force-washing paddle of the washing tank maximizes the washing efficiency

6. Mechanical and thermal drying system minimizes the moisture of the end product

7. High speed washing and drying can be set at suitable intensity to avoid over friction

8. System automation to ensure components actions are linked, system capacity is maximized, and system protected against interfering material

Complete Process Flow

Raw material feeding → Manual sorting conveyor for removal of PVC, large labels & bulky contaminants → Double-shaft shredder for pre-shredding → Belt conveyor & metal separator → Pre-rinsing tank → PTC wet crusher for fine grinding → Float-sink washing tank for density separation → Hot-friction washing with auto-dosing system for degreasing & paint removal → Zig-zag air sorter for label dust removal → Secondary float-sink rinsing → High-speed centrifugal dewatering → Hot-air screw drying → Clean plastic flakes discharging.

The obtained clean PP/HDPE flakes can be directly connected to pelletizing equipment, completing the full circular chain from waste plastic to high-value recycled raw material.

Machine name

Introduction

Manual sorting belt conveyor

Function: manually sort out PVC bottle, labels, and other impurities.

p3

Double shaft shredder

Use to initially crush the material to particles of size 50mm.

Uses: pre-broken material, shredded material is irregular flakes and strips

p4

Belt conveyor and metal separator

 

Rinsing wash tank

For PP PE bottle rinsing, metal, stone and other submerged impurities from the material

p6

PTC Wet Crusher

Fine grinding

p7

p8

1. Blade change without opening the cover and without moving the

belt, enabling quick Blade changes.

2. Equipped with twin-screw forced feeding mechanism, ensuring high

output and stable feeding.

3. Spline knife shaft mechanism results in low powder content and

high output

Floating washing tank

Used to rinse materials, impurities with density greater than 1 gram / cubic centimeter are sunk to the bottom, and PP materials with density less than 1 gram / cubic centimeter are floating and discharged.

p10

Centrifugal dryer

Function: remove sand, mud and dirty

p11

Hot&friction washer

Two counter-rotating agitator shafts with wear-resistant blades create intensive friction for flakes. The jacketed cylinder uses indirect steam heating to maintain 85~95°C. Automatic dosing & temperature sensors control lye concentration. Flakes stay inside 15–30 min for sufficient glue removal. Sludge settles at bottom and is discharged periodically. This unit is the core for food-grade rPET / HDPE flakes.

p13

Auto chemcial dosing feeder:

This is a fully automatic dosing system that integrates chemical dissolution, maturation, and injection into one unit. The equipment controls the dosage based on the desired concentration of the chemical solution, automatically mixing, dissolving, and maturing the flocculant, which is then injected into the treated water via a dosing pump. This significantly simplifies the complexity of using flocculants, ensures an automatic and precise dosing process, and reduces chemical consumption.

Zig-zag Air sorter

 

Separate label dust from materials

Floating washing tank

 

Used to rinse materials, impurities with density greater than 1 gram / cubic centimeter are sunk to the bottom, and PP materials with density less than 1 gram / cubic centimeter are floating and discharged.

 p15

p16

 

Centrifugal dryer dehydrate the rinsed material at high speed, and separate the impurities contained in the material to ensure the high cleanliness of the material entering the subsequent cleaning system.

p17

Hot air screw dryer Used for further hot air drying of dewatered materials.

Low noise ,no choke ,less powder dust .

DCS intelligent recycling line control system

Upper computer control system:

Features:

①The production process is controlled in real time, and data .

② Monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time

③The system is equipped with an intelligent medical examination module to remind the equipment of regular inspection items in real time to avoid false or missed inspections.

Flakes sorting ,

blending and packing section

For high-grade HDPE flakes, automatic optical sorting system combines optical sorter, eddy current and pipe metal separator to remove contaminants. Together with on-line inspection, material blending and continuous weighing, it stabilizes HDPE flake quality. The vibration compaction packing system increases bulk density and lowers logistics cost.

4.Customer Cases :

1.ThePTW2000  pesticide  bottle  recycling  line  POLYTEC  .Pesticides  are  agricultural chemicals used to prevent pests and diseases and regulate plant growth. They are widely used in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry production, environmental and household hygiene to prevent pests and epidemics, and industrial products to prevent mould and moths. There are many kinds of pesticides, which can be divided into insecticides, acaricides, rodenticides, nematicides, plant growth regulators, etc., according to  their  uses.  According  to  the  bottle  material,  it  is  divided  into  three categories:  PET  bottles,  pure  HDPE  bottles  and  bottles  with  barrier  layers.  Many pesticide bottles are produced in farming every year
