PET bottle flakes need to undergo a rigorous washing process during the regeneration process to ensure that they meet high-quality regeneration standards. To meet this need, we have introduced the PET bottle flakes hot washing machine, a machine designed for PET flakes washing line, designed to efficiently remove oils, label residue adhesives, and other impurities from the surface of bottle flakes through high-temperature water washing and vigorous agitation.

Advantages Of Hot Washed PET Flakes Machine

Efficient washing: The hot washed PET flakes machine thoroughly removes oil, glue, and impurities through high-temperature water washing and strong agitation, ensuring high cleanliness of bottle flakes.

Electromagnetic heating The hot washing tank adopts electromagnetic heating, which is characterized by rapid heating, energy-saving, and high efficiency, and can heat up quickly and maintain a constant temperature to ensure a stable and efficient cleaning process.

Lye Cleaning: During the cleaning process, lye can be added to the PET bottle flakes hot washing machine to neutralize acids and remove stubborn stains, resulting in cleaner bottle flakes and high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing.

The Role Of Hot Water Washing Tank

The PET bottle flakes hot washing machine is the heart of the plastic bottle hot washing line, capable of removing hard-to-remove contaminants such as stickies, oil, dust, sand, and other impurities. For PET recycling, the hot water washing process is an important step in the production of high-quality PET bottle flakes.

Precautions For The Use

  • Washing in a PET flakes hot washing machine for 30 to 45 minutes is best and should not exceed 45 degrees.
  • The water temperature in the PET bottle flakes hot washing machine should be controlled between 85 and 95 degrees.
  • A moderate amount of lye can be added to the hot water washing tank to enhance the cleaning effect.

Parameters of PET Bottle Flakes Hot Washing Machine

Our hot model is SL-500, the power is 4kw, the height is about 2 meters, and it is commonly heated by electricity and steam. In addition, the configuration of the hot wash tanks can be flexibly adjusted to meet different production requirements. For example, washing lines of one ton or more can be equipped with multiple hot washed PET flakes machines to ensure continuous and efficient washing operations.

Working Principle of PET Flakes Hot Washing Machine

The working principle of the PET bottle flakes hot washing machine is to deep clean PET bottle flakes by the combination of heating and strong agitation. The specific process is as follows:

  • Heating: The water in the hot wash tank is rapidly heated by electromagnetic heating and is usually maintained at 85-95°C to soften and dissolve dirt and adhesions on the surface of the bottle flakes.
  • Stirring: The stirring device rotates strongly to make the PET bottle flakes tumble and rub in the hot water, effectively removing the oil, glue, and other impurities on the surface.
  • Lye addition: Lye is added during the cleaning process to react with the acid on the surface of the bottle flakes to further remove stubborn stains and improve the cleanliness of the bottle flakes.
