Start With the Contamination

Different Contaminants Need
Different Washing Stages

The correct washing configuration depends on both the plastic material and what needs to be removed from it.

    First Cleaning

    Pre-Washing

    Targets loose dirt, sand and larger contamination before intensive cleaning.

    Dewatering

    Prepares washed plastic for drying or pelletizing.

Configuration principleThe washing process should be configured according to material type, contamination level and the required cleanliness of the final recycled material.

Material-specific emphasisFor heavily contaminated film, stronger pre-washing may be more important; for PET bottle recycling, hot washing and intensive surface cleaning can play a larger role.

Match the stages to the material and contamination, then define the complete line.
