This week, Kitech Machinery successfully tested a recycling, shredding, and washing system for HDPE bottles, as well as the KCP series two-stage compaction pelletizing system that was paired with it. This shredding, cleaning, and granulation system is sold to the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia. The materials recycled and processed by the customer are HDPE bottles and drum.
This recycling system is divided into two parts: shredding and washing, and pelletizing. The shredding and washing system mainly includes one AGS series shredder, one AGF series crusher, two washing tanks, one low-speed friction wash, and one high-speed friction wash, etc. The two-stage compaction pelletizing system mainly includes one KC1000 compactor, one KSE series extruder, KCP series second stage extruder, plate type filtration, and no wire mesh filter, etc.
HDPE bottles are first processed by shredders and crushers, and shredded into fragments of 3X3 centimeters in size. HDPE fragments will be transported by a spiral conveyor to a cleaning tank for preliminary cleaning to remove beverage residues contained within the fragments. After initial cleaning, the HDPE fragments will be sent to a high-speed friction washer for deep cleaning to remove heavily polluted stains. After deep cleaning, the HDPE fragments can be used as raw materials for granulation work after two more washing and drying processes to remove residual pollutants and residues.
Clean HDPE fragments are transported into the compactor through a belt, further shredded and compacted, and melted into liquid plastic. The high temperature liquid plastic can be cooled and cut into plastic particles in the water ring cutting system after two filtration processes.
This shredding and washing system, along with the KCP series dual stage compaction pelletizing system, can handle various soft and hard plastics such as films, non-woven fabrics, ton bags, woven bags, beverage bottles, milk bottles, plastic baskets, plastic toys, etc., such as PE PE PE HDPE LLDPE PP BOPP ABS EPS XPS PS, etc.
