The PET bottle flakes hot washing tank is a specially designed machine for PET bottle flakes washing lines, designed to effectively remove oils, slimes, and labeling residues from bottle flakes and bring them back to clean standards.
By heating water and lye, the machine utilizes high temperatures and chemical reactions to thoroughly clean bottle flakes and ensure they meet high-quality standards for recycling.
With its high efficiency and stable cleaning performance, the PET flakes hot washing machine has become an indispensable and important equipment in the PET bottle flakes recycling process.
The video below shows the use of PET flakes hot washing machine in a plastic washing recycling line. After watching the video, we will continue to show you our equipment.
The Role of PET Bottle Flakes Hot Washing Machine
PET flakes hot washing machine plays a vital role in the cleaning process of PET bottle flakes. Specifically, the machine is capable of:
- Removal of grease and mucus: Utilizing high temperature and lye, grease and mucus are completely removed from the surface of the bottle flakes, leaving them clean.
- Removal of labeling residues: The high-temperature hot washing process can effectively dissolve and remove labeling residues on the bottles and ensure that the surface of the bottles is smooth and residue-free.
- Improvement of cleaning efficiency: By hot washing, the cleaning efficiency can be greatly improved, reducing the workload and difficulty of the subsequent cleaning steps.
Precautions For Use Of The Machine
To ensure the quality of the final PET bottle flakes, there are several points to keep in mind when using this machine:
- Waste Temperature Control: When cleaning, the water temperature should be maintained between 85-95 degrees to ensure optimal cleaning results.
- Washing Time: Washing time should be controlled in 30-45 minutes, too long or too short may affect the cleaning effect.
- Use of Lye: It is necessary to add an appropriate amount of lye to ensure that the pH of the cleaning process is less than or equal to 8%.
- Regular Maintenance: Machines require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure that they are operating in optimum condition and to prolong their service life.
Advantages of PET Flakes Hot Washing Tank
Highly Efficient Washing
The hot washing tank utilizes 85-95 degrees high-temperature water for washing, and can effectively dissolve grease and label residue on the surface of bottle flakes. The cleaning effect is further enhanced by adding an appropriate amount of lye.
