PE/PP bottle or PE/PP sheet plastic recycling production line (Washing Crushing and Pelletizing Line)

For waste whose generation cannot be prevented, it is important to recycle the waste to whatever degree possible, and that's why plastic recycling is so important. In recycle plants, plastic waste is generated into pellets used as raw material. In a plastic recycling line, the waste plastics are carefully separated and turned into pellets for further uses. During plastic recycling, the plastic waste is washed in a stainless steel water bucket, and in the 2nd water bucket the plastic is separated into different types of plastic including PE and PVC. In the washing machine, the machine washes out the sand and dirt from PE and a squeeze type de-watering machine squeezes out the water contained in PE. After using the advanced de-watering machine to squeeze out the water, there is only 7% of water left. In the end, a granulator is used to get rid of the rest of the water.

The plastic machine is special for PE, PP film crushing, washing and drying production line, because it can easily wash waste plastic products. Waste and dirty agricultural films, waste packing material and hard plastics can be treated step by step with this facility.

The plastic recycling production line is used for washing and recycling of PE and PP films.

A Crusher is a necessary part of plastic recycling machines. It is used for PET bottles, PE, PP bottles, PE, PP film, PS, PVC, and some other plastic materials.

LDPE - The first grade of polyethylene. It includes trays & general purpose containers, food storage and laboratory containers, corrosion-resistant work surfaces, etc.
Nowadays, the plastic recycling companies provide fully automated reverse vending machines which utilize advanced technology to identify, sort, collect, process and recycle used beverage containers including cans, glass bottles, PET (plastic) bottles and vending cups. These machines have been used in Europe for many years, often as part of a 'refund for your empties' scheme, encouraging people to put their bottles in to get money back.
