Overview of HDPE Plastic Washing Line

The HDPE plastic washing line is an industrial recycling system that converts waste HDPE—such as bottles, pipes, film scraps, and molding leftovers—into clean, high-purity flakes. Through sorting, crushing, multi-stage washing, and drying, it removes oil, labels, adhesives, and residues. Ideal for recyclers, chemical firms, and packaging makers, it cuts material costs and meets global environmental standards.

Key Types of HDPE plastic washing line

Core Product Portfolio & Application Scenarios

HDPE Plastic Washing Machine for blue drum

Our core product portfolio includes PET bottle, HDPE container, and PP/PE plastic film washing and recycling lines. Designed for industrial use, these systems convert post-consumer and industrial waste—such as bottles, drums, bags, and packaging—into high-purity flakes or pellets. Widely applied in municipal recycling facilities, private recovery plants, and manufacturing enterprises pursuing circular economy goals, our equipment supports compliance with global environmental standards while reducing raw material costs.

HDPE Bottle Washing Line

A fully automated recycling system designed to process waste HDPE bottles—such as detergent containers, milk jugs, and chemical drums—into clean, dry, high-purity flakes. The line integrates crushing, hot washing, friction cleaning, rinsing, and drying to effectively remove labels, adhesives, oil residues, and contaminants. Built with stainless steel components and PLC control, it offers reliable performance for recycling plants, packaging companies, and circular economy projects worldwide.

HDPE Recycling Machine for HDPE bottles drum

HDPE recycling machine for bottles and drums—automatically processes waste HDPE containers like detergent bottles, chemical drums, and milk jugs into clean, reusable flakes through integrated crushing, washing, and drying. Ideal for industrial recyclers seeking efficient, compliant, and cost-effective resource recovery.

Complete Process Flow & Equipment Configuration

Sorting & Pre-Treatment Module

Manual sorting + magnetic separator remove non-HDPE contaminants; HDPE lines include cap separator for PP/PE caps.

Crushing Module

Optional single- or dual-shaft heavy-duty shredder (with adjustable blade gap) reduces HDPE containers to 10–20mm flakes, optimizing downstream washing efficiency.

Pre-Washing & Degreasing Module

High-pressure rinse removes dust and sand; heated eco-friendly degreasing tank dissolves oil, grease, and chemical residues.

Precision Washing Module

Alkaline wash breaks down stubborn label adhesives, followed by multi-stage rinsing to neutralize residual alkali and ensure pH-compliant, clean flakes.

Dewatering & Drying Module

High-speed centrifugal dewatering removes ~90% surface moisture, followed by hot-air drying to ≤0.5% moisture—ideal for direct pelletizing or storage without mold risk.

Intelligent Sorting & Conveying Module

Air classifier and vibrating screen remove light and oversized impurities. Optional color sorter for HDPE. PLC-controlled, wear-resistant conveyors for automated operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

It handles HDPE bottles (milk jugs, detergent containers), chemical drums, pipes, film scraps, and injection molding leftovers.

Yes—standard configuration includes a cap separator (for PP/PE caps) and washing stages that remove paper/PVC labels. Optional air classifier further cleans light debris.

Flake purity ≥98%, moisture ≤0.5%—suitable for direct pelletizing or storage without degradation.

Standard lines produce industrial-grade rHDPE. For food-contact applications, additional super-clean modules (e.g., hot caustic wash, rinsing to FDA standards) are required—available on request.

With closed-loop water recycling, consumption is ~1–1.5 tons per ton of flakes. Power ranges from 60 kW (500 kg/h) to 120+ kW (2000 kg/h), depending on model.
