Why use friction washer machine in PET bottle recycling?

In the PET bottle washing line, the plastic friction washer is used after hot washing.

PET sheet will be rolled after heating, easily retaining sewage and lye. The friction washing machine cleans off the lye brought out from the hot washing pot, which lowers PH. This will keep the PH value less than 8.

Working principle of plastic bottle washing machine

Our friction washing machine rotates PET flakes with cleaning solution through an internal rotating cleaning cylinder.

During the rotation, the friction between the flakes and the cleaning solution helps to remove surface dirt and impurities.

After cleaning, the PET flakes are discharged through a drainage system.
