Description
The hot washer for PET flakes represents the core component of any comprehensive PET bottle washing line, specifically engineered to eliminate stubborn contaminants that conventional washing systems cannot effectively remove. These challenging contaminants include adhesive residues, oils, grease, and remaining food or liquid particles that adhere to PET surfaces after initial processing.
In the PET recycling industry, the hot water washing process is not merely beneficial—it’s essential for producing premium-grade “hot washed” PET flakes that command significantly higher market prices. These superior flakes exhibit exceptional purity levels, making them suitable for food-grade applications and high-value manufacturing processes where contamination tolerance is minimal.
ASG Machine has engineered this hot washing system to address the critical needs of modern recycling facilities, ensuring optimal contaminant removal while maximizing operational efficiency and minimizing energy consumption. The result is a reliable, high-performance solution that enhances both the quality of your output and the profitability of your recycling operation.
How It Works
Distinguished from conventional hot washers available in today’s market, our patented hot washer design employs an innovative horizontal screw auger system that transports PET flakes through a precisely temperature-controlled water bath. This energy-efficient engineering approach features strategically positioned micro-perforations along the auger mechanism, enabling direct internal spraying of hot water onto the PET flakes as they progress through the system.
The surrounding structure incorporates a robust mesh screen tunnel that effectively retains PET flakes while allowing smaller contaminants to filter through and separate from the valuable material. This dual-action design ensures thorough cleaning while preventing material loss, maximizing both purity and yield.
As PET flakes move through the system, the combination of mechanical agitation from the auger and the thermal action of the hot water works synergistically to break down and remove even the most persistent contaminants. The horizontal design minimizes space requirements while maximizing processing efficiency, making it ideal for facilities with limited floor space.
A detailed diagram of our hot washer configuration has been provided below, illustrating the sophisticated engineering that delivers superior cleaning performance while maintaining energy efficiency standards that set industry benchmarks.
