Composition and Operation Process

Bale Opener Machine

Bale Opener Machine

Opens pressed PET bottle bales and feeds bottles evenly into the next recycling step.

  • Four roller cylinders feed bottles evenly, and motor speed is adjusted by inverter.
  • Machine chamber is made from solid strong steel, with 20 mm thick claw steel.
  • Forklift working platform or temporary bale storage hopper can be configured.

Trommel Separator Machine

Trommel Separator Machine

Loosens PET bottles, removes sand, rock and stone from bottles, and feeds material constantly to the next step.

  • Special feed inlet design helps prevent material overflow and falling.
  • Track and gear use forged steel with heat treatment for strong operation.
  • High platform and dirty collecting chute allow jumbo bags underneath for waste collection.

Label Remover Machine

Label Remover Machine

Removes labels from PET bottles before sorting and crushing.

  • Alloyed steel blades are screw fixed, making adjustment and replacement easy.
  • Hydraulic barrel lifting system makes blade maintenance more convenient.
  • Bottom holes drain liquid contained in bottles, helping protect machine operation.

Manual Sorting Belt

Manual Sorting Belt

Manually sorts remaining labels, different color bottles and non-PET bottles from the material stream.

  • Belt moving speed is adjusted by inverter.
  • White PVC rubber belt improves visibility during manual sorting.
  • Optical bottle sorter can replace manual sorting in high labor cost regions.

Automatic Metal Detector

Automatic Metal Detector

Detects metal inside the material and ejects contaminated bottles without stopping the line.

  • Intelligent smart learning function automatically ejects bottles containing metal.
  • Touch screen and password control support simple and secure operation.
  • Designed for both ferrous and non-ferrous metal detection.

Plastic Crusher Machine

Plastic Crusher Machine

Crushes PET bottles into small flakes for downstream washing and separation.

  • Water inlet enables wet grinding, extending blade life and reducing dust.
  • Upper hopper opens by screw motor to save manpower during maintenance.
  • Bearing house is installed outside the crusher chamber to keep dirty material out.

Floating Washing Tank

Floating Washing Tank

Uses cold water to wash dirty from flakes and separate caps, rings and other floating impurities.

  • Top rollers automatically take out caps, rings and impurities with less water carry-out.
  • Rotor shaft is made from seamless steel tube.
  • Different tank designs are available according to PET bottle recycling requirements.

Hot Washing Tank

Hot Washing Tank

Uses hot water to remove oil, glue and other dirty from PET bottle flakes.

  • Tank insulation layer keeps hot water temperature and saves energy.
  • Caustic soda or chemical detergent can be added for better washing effect.
  • Water is heated by steam generated from the steam boiler.

Horizontal Dewatering Machine

Horizontal Dewatering Machine

Removes dirty water and moisture from PET bottle flakes after washing.

  • High rotary speed reaches up to 1500 rpm for better water removal.
  • Famous SKF roller bearing is fixed outside for longer service life.
  • Inside mesh layer is made from SUS304 and cleaned by water spray system.

Zig-zag Label Separator

Zig-zag Label Separator

Removes final fine labels from PET flakes to reduce PVC content and improve final flake quality.

  • Blower air valve controls air flux for separation adjustment.
  • Bottom air blower and pipe collect PET flakes efficiently.
  • Zig-zag main chamber is made from stainless steel and includes a visible window.
