Machine Introduction
Cygnet Machinery offers plastic washing machine for PP – HDPE – LDPE (Article/Film) Waste , also known as a plastic recycling washing line, is a specialized piece of equipment used in the recycling industry to clean and process plastic waste materials. Its primary purpose is to separate, clean, and prepare plastic waste for further processing into reusable plastic articles or other products . We supply plastic waste washing machines upon the complexity, depending on the specific types of plastics to be processed, the capacity of the recycling plant, and the intended end-products. The goal is to transform plastic waste into reusable materials, reducing the need for new virgin plastics and minimizing environmental pollution.
Cygnet machinery offers several types of waste plastic washing machines used in the recycling industry to clean and process different types of plastic waste like High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) containers, such as milk jugs, detergent bottles, shampoo bottles, Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) films, like plastic bags packaging films , and Polypropylene (PP) containers, including food containers, margarine tubs, yogurt cups. It’s essential to note that different waste plastic washing machines are designed to handle specific types of plastic waste based on their properties, such as density, melting point, and chemical composition.
Major Components
- Sorting and Classification Prior to washing, the plastic waste needs to be sorted and classified based on its type, color, and chemical composition. Advanced technologies such as automated sorting systems using sensors and artificial intelligence are increasingly used for efficient plastic waste sorting.
- A shredder or grinder is used to reduce the size of larger plastic waste items into smaller pieces. Shredding or grinding the plastic waste facilitates the washing and cleaning process and improves the efficiency of washing equipment.
- Floating or separation tank is used to separate plastics with different densities. Clean plastic materials, which are denser, sink, while residual contaminants and materials with lower densities float and are removed.
- A centrifugal dryer is used to remove excess water from washed plastic flakes or pieces. The plastic material is rapidly spun in a centrifuge, and the water is expelled from the material due to the centrifugal force.
- After the washing and drying process, the cleaned plastic materials are processed through a plastic pelletizing machine. This machine melts the plastic and forms it into small pellets, which can be used as raw materials in various plastic manufacturing processes.
Benefits
- Our Plastic washing machines ensure that the washed and recycled plastic materials produced are of high quality and free from contaminants. These clean and processed plastic flakes or pellets can be used as raw materials for various manufacturing processes, including the production of new plastic products.
- Cygnet Manufactured Plastic washing machines are designed to handle a wide range of plastic waste types, including PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, PVC, and mixed plastics. This versatility allows for efficient recycling of various plastic materials.
- The use of plastic washing machines aligns with public and corporate sustainability goals, demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility and waste reduction.
- Cygnet Machinery plant plays a specific role in the waste plastic washing line, and their integration allows for effective cleaning, recycling, and processing of plastic waste, contributing to environmental sustainability and resource conservation.
