How the 2018 PET Flakes Hot Washer Works
The 2018 PET Flakes Hot Washer is engineered for maximum efficiency and superior cleaning performance. PET flakes are fed into the system where they sink due to gravity. Once a predetermined volume accumulates, a vertical auger equipped with specialized paddles lifts the material. These paddles generate intense friction, scrubbing the flakes thoroughly to remove stubborn contaminants. The result is a significantly higher grade of PET flakes that command better market prices and enhance your recycling ROI.
This system integrates seamlessly into existing lines and is designed for continuous, low-maintenance operation. Its robust construction ensures durability even under heavy industrial use, making it a reliable choice for high-volume recycling facilities.
