When it comes to removing glue and oil contamination, choosing the right process makes all the difference.
Friction Washer — Fast, Mechanical Cleaning
Uses high-speed friction to scrub materials.
Ideal for: dirt, sand, labels, light residues
Efficient, low water consumption
Limited effect on sticky glue and oils
Hot Wash — Deep, Chemical Cleaning
Uses heated water + detergents to dissolve contaminants.
Ideal for: adhesives, glue, oil, grease
Delivers higher purity flakes
Higher energy and water usage
Best practice? Use both.
Friction washing for pre-cleaning, followed by hot washing for deep removal—this combination ensures cleaner, higher-value recycled plastics.
