Engineered to handle PET, HDPE, and PP, this system effectively removes labels, adhesives, and contaminants, ensuring your output meets the highest industry standards.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Multi-Stage Cleaning for Maximum Purity

• Friction Washer – High-speed cold-water cleaning removes loose debris and fines.
• Vertical Hot Wash Tank – Unique hexagonal design prevents circular motion, ensuring thorough cleaning.
• High-Pressure Rinsing Module – Patent-pending nozzles remove labels, adhesives, and stubborn dirt.
• Mechanical Dryer – Strong centrifugal force extracts moisture, preparing flakes for further processing.

This system handles both sinking (PET) and floating (HDPE, PP) polymers, making it more versatile than conventional setups.

2. Energy & Water Efficiency

• Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) optimize power usage and reduce energy consumption.
• Closed Loop Water Circulation filters and reuses water, lowering waste and chemical usage.

Lower operational costs, improved sustainability.

3. Full Process Control for Precision Cleaning

The system’s PLC and touch screen interface allow operators to:

• Adjust washing temperature, batch times, and chemical dosing.
• Save and recall cleaning recipes for different contamination levels and material types.
• Optimise settings for maximum efficiency and consistent results.

4. Durable, Low-Maintenance Construction

• Stainless steel tanks and fittings ensure longevity and resistance to corrosion.
• Replaceable Hardox tips and dynamically balanced rotor extend equipment life.
• Compact, low-profile design allows easy integration into existing facilities.

Ideal for Recycling Operations

The Hot Wash System is built for serious recycling operations that demand high-purity results, including:

• Large Scale Industrial Recycling Facilities such as Container Deposit Scheme processors – Producing clean, high-quality flakes for bottle-to-bottle recycling and beyond.
• Material Traders and Plastics Re-processors wanting to source cheaper material and value add.
• Plastics Recyclers with a material that requires Solution Washing, such as Caustic or detergent based.
• Plastics Recyclers that needs to run at a controlled temperature for short or long period of time.
• Plastic Recyclers looking for aggressive washing that is gentle on flakes.
• Industries that demand precise and repeatable conditions.
