In the competitive landscape of plastic recycling, efficiency, output quality, and operational cost are paramount. A state-of-the-art PET bottle washing line is essential for processing post-consumer PET bottles—including beverage and mineral water containers—into clean, high-value flakes suitable for food-grade or filament-grade applications. Systems from ASG Machine integrate advanced processes such as de-baling, trommel screening, label removal, pre-washing, automatic sorting, crushing, floating and hot washing, drying, zigzag separation, eddy current separation, and color sorting to deliver superior results.
Product Description
Retech’s PET bottle washing and recycling line offers a comprehensive, automated solution for converting baled or loose post-consumer PET bottles into purified, dry flakes. Designed for capacities ranging from 500 kg/h to 5000 kg/h, this system is engineered for durability, efficiency, and minimal resource consumption. The final output boasts less than 1% moisture content, making it ready for pelletizing or direct reuse in manufacturing.
The complete line includes several integrated sections: de-baling, sieving, label separation, pre-washing, floatation, and dewatering. Custom configurations in “I”, “L”, or “U” shapes are available to suit specific facility layouts. With an emphasis on innovation and reliability, ASG Machine provides end-to-end support from design and installation to operational training and maintenance.

Cleaning Process Overview
The PET bottle washing process involves multiple stages to ensure thorough cleaning and material purification:
- De-baler: Unpacks compressed bales of PET bottles.
- Trommel Screen: Separates contaminants like sand, stones, and metals based on particle size.
- Manual Sorting Table: Allows for removal of visible impurities.
- Steam Washer: Uses hot water and detergent to remove oils, dirt, and adhered labels.
- De-watering Machine: Eliminates residual glue, detergent, and contaminants.
- Zig-zag Separator: Removes lightweight labels and dust from PET flakes.
Each stage is designed for maximum efficiency and minimal downtime, using premium components for longevity.
