System Overview and Operational Benefits
The 500 KG/H PET bottle washing line from ASG Machine represents a comprehensive solution for recycling facilities looking to process post-consumer PET bottles efficiently. This complete system transforms discarded PET bottles into clean, high-quality flakes suitable for various manufacturing applications, including fiber production, sheet extrusion, and bottle-to-bottle recycling.
Our washing line is engineered with attention to energy efficiency and operational reliability. Each component is selected and integrated to ensure optimal performance while minimizing operational costs. The system’s modular design allows for future capacity upgrades and process modifications as your recycling requirements evolve.
The washing process begins with material intake via our robust belt conveyor, which features a magnetic drum to remove ferrous contaminants early in the process. The bottles then proceed to the label remover, where high-efficiency delabeling prepares the material for size reduction. After manual sorting to remove non-PET materials and color contamination, the bottles enter the crusher, which reduces them to uniform flakes suitable for thorough cleaning.
The multi-stage washing process includes two floating washers that separate contaminants by density, a hot washer for deep cleaning, and a high-speed friction washer for surface purification. This comprehensive approach ensures the final PET flakes meet the stringent quality requirements of the most demanding applications. The dewatering machine and hot air dryer then reduce moisture content to optimal levels for storage and further processing.
Engineering Excellence and Build Quality
At ASG Machine, we prioritize durability and longevity in our equipment design. The PET washing line features heavy-duty construction with reinforced steel frames ranging from 3mm to 30mm thickness, depending on the application and stress requirements. All components that contact raw materials are fabricated from stainless steel to prevent contamination and ensure compliance with food-grade standards when required.
Our electrical systems utilize premium components from renowned manufacturers including Siemens, TECO, and Delixi, ensuring reliable operation and easy maintenance. The motors throughout the system are sourced from Dazhong, a trusted name in industrial motors known for their efficiency and durability.
The cutting blades in the crusher are crafted from SKD11 steel, a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for its excellent wear resistance and toughness. This material selection extends blade life and maintains consistent flake size over extended operation periods, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Customization Options
While the standard 500 KG/H configuration meets the needs of many recycling operations, ASG Machine offers extensive customization options to address specific processing requirements. Capacity can be increased through targeted equipment upgrades, and additional sorting stations can be incorporated to handle specialized input materials.
We can modify the system to accommodate different bottle types, including those with challenging label adhesives or unique contamination profiles. For facilities with space constraints, we offer compact layout configurations that maintain full functionality while optimizing floor space utilization.
Optional enhancements include automated sorting systems, advanced water filtration and recycling systems, and integrated quality control monitoring. These additions can improve operational efficiency, reduce water consumption, and ensure consistent output quality.
Installation, Commissioning, and After-Sales Support
ASG Machine provides comprehensive support throughout the entire equipment lifecycle. Our standard package includes detailed installation documentation and remote commissioning assistance to ensure your washing line operates at peak performance from day one.
For clients requiring additional support, we offer on-site installation supervision and operator training programs. These services help your team maximize equipment efficiency and implement best practices for maintenance and troubleshooting.
