Plastic Bottle Recycling Production Line(TL6000)Global growth of plastic consumer goods is projected to increase significantly over the next decade, especially in markets where waste-management systems are only just emerging. Without any action, it is predictable that the ocean could contain one ton of plastic for every three tons of fish by 2025, an unimaginable outcome.
Fortunately, this severe situation is changing and improving. Existing consumer plastics processing technology can give almost all used plastics a new life. By using recycled plastic material, the consumption of energy is 10 times less than virgin plastic and emission of CO2 is 30-50% lower, which effectively reduce the pollution.
Compare with other plastics, PET is more fully recyclable due to its unique properties. It can be fully decontaminated to 100% food-contact level and the physical performance could be fully restored to virgin level. But, only 8% of post-consumer PET bottles and other PET food containers are recycled to food contact bottles or containers globally at present. This bottle-to-bottle recycling has the highest level of economical and sustainable benefit. 90% plus of post-consumer PET material still follow so called "cradle-to-grave" path when valuable plastic material is converted into non-recyclable goods, such as polyester fiber or thermoformed containers for solid food.
BoReTech specializes in R&D and manufacture of bottle-to-bottle grade PET bottle washing line, meanwhile, supply bottle-to-bottle plant engineering and service to achieve PET resource recovery sustainably.
PET bottle recycling system is used to recycle from PET bottles bales to PET flakes, which with big capacity from 500 kg/h to 9000 kg/h.This process of washing and crushing is consist of different function units. The final product rPET flakes has a stable quality and various grade applications, especially for PSF ,POY manufacturer w
ith big capacity. Recent year, BoReTech develop new technology, rPET can be achieved Bottle-to Bottle grade application with FDA approval.

Standard Process Flowchart for Your Reference (Process as per layout based on customer's factory and rPET flakes applications demand)Section introduction of PET bottle washing line
1. De-baling Section
De-baling unit adopts weighing-connected feeding device by high automation technology and break up bottle bales and remove mixed metal. The special knife structure can avoid any unexpected mechanical clogging.
2. Sieving Section
Sieving unit including dry trommel, disk screener and metal removal device to separate some big impurities such as mud, sands and metals from PET bottles and flakes. Meanwhile, through digital technology likes metal detector, pipe-type metal separator, metals can be separated automatically by flapping device to reduce inline manpower. Besides, belt-type metal separator can reach the same function.3.Label Separation Section
This label separation unit is mainly designed for heat shrinkage label removal.Label separation unit from BoReTech has two types. One consists of patented label scrapping machine and label blowing machine which wind-force is adjustable. When facing limited space, the new design of compact label remover is also a good choice to scrap heat shrinkage labels and separate them by one machine.4.Bottle Pre-washing SectionThe primary features of this process are the automated water circulation system, continuous feeding and washing. This system uses special designed inner structure to cause friction for PET bottles inside the machine to remove most of adhesive labels, and uses the high-temperature chemical water to remove dirt, sands, glues, rubbers, metal and other impurities on the surface of bottles.5.Floatation SectionSecondary washing of PET flakes after crushing is very important. Floatation unit separates PO& PP/PE caps which density is below 1 by using water as the separation media. This unit is comprised by floatation washing and packing silo. It's good to remove caps, rings to keep flakes with stable quality. And impurities of final products can be reduced to 100 ppm or even to 50 ppm.6.Dewatering SectionDe-watering process is running by high-speed mechanical centrifugal force, the moisture content of the flakes will be reduced to be less than 1%. If the heat-exchange air drying is supplemented later, the moisture rate of the flakes will be further reduced to be less than 0.7%.Project ShowBoReTech BriefBoReTech is a resource environmental enterprise which integrates manufacturing, engineering and equipment supply.
