With the rapid growth of PET bottle recycling worldwide, stable output, high purity, and energy efficiency have become key requirements for modern recycling plants.
The 1000KG/H PET Bottle Washing Line is designed to deliver consistent washing quality while maintaining low water and energy consumption. Combined with a compact pelletizing system, this line transforms waste PET bottles into high-quality recycled pellets ready for reuse in manufacturing.
System Overview
This complete recycling solution includes two main sections:
- PET Bottle Washing Line – for cleaning, separating, and drying PET flakes
- Pelletizing Line – for converting clean flakes into uniform pellets
The system is ideal for:
- Beverage bottle recycling
- Food-grade PET processing (with optional upgrades)
- Medium-capacity recycling plants (1000 kg/h)
PET Bottle Washing Line
The washing line is designed for efficient removal of labels, caps, dirt, glue, and contaminants. The process combines mechanical washing, flotation separation, and thermal cleaning to ensure high-purity output.

Final Notes
This 1000 KG/H PET Bottle Washing and Pelletizing Line offers a balance between capacity, efficiency, and cost, making it a reliable solution for many recycling operations
However, we understand that 1000 kg/h may not always be the ideal capacity for every project. Depending on your material type, space availability, energy requirements, and future expansion plans, a customized solution may deliver better long-term value.
If you are unsure whether this configuration fits your production goals, feel free to contact us. Our technical team will be glad to evaluate your requirements and recommend a more suitable layout, capacity, or system configuration tailored to your recycling needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment is included in the 1000 kg/h PET bottle washing line?
The washing section lists 17 machine positions: chain and belt conveyors, debaler, label remover, sorting conveyor, wet crusher (SWHB1200), friction screws, two floating tanks, hot washer, high-speed dryer, hot air dryer, label separator, finished product silo, and the electrical control system. The pelletizing section adds 10 more, including a double screw extruder (SJ75), hydraulic screen changer, cooling tank, dryer, pelletizer, and product storage.
What end products can this line produce?
The line converts waste PET bottles into high-quality recycled pellets ready for reuse in manufacturing — suitable for extrusion, injection molding, or sheet production, and for bottle-to-bottle or fiber-grade recycling. Food-grade PET processing is possible with optional upgrades. Clean flakes can also be sold directly if you prefer not to pelletize.
How does the washing process ensure high flake purity?
The process combines mechanical washing, flotation separation, and thermal cleaning. Label removal uses mechanical friction plus airflow separation; the hot washer removes oil, glue, and organic residues; and a combination of centrifugal and hot air drying brings final moisture content down. Together these stages deliver consistently clean, high-purity PET flakes.
Is 1000 kg/h the only capacity available?
No. While 1000 kg/h suits many medium-capacity plants, the modular design allows expansion, and fully customized solutions are available. Depending on your material type, space availability, energy requirements, and future growth plans, the technical team can recommend a different capacity or layout that delivers better long-term value.
What utilities and site requirements should I plan for?
Plan for a reliable water supply and drainage for the wash tanks and hot washer, three-phase industrial power sized for the motors and extruder heating, and compressed air for pneumatic components. Allow floor space for both the 17-position washing section and the 10-position pelletizing section, plus bale storage and finished product handling. The technical team evaluates site requirements during quotation.
Can the pelletizing line process flakes from other sources?
Yes — the pelletizing system converts any clean, washed PET flakes into uniform pellets with stable extrusion pressure and temperature control, producing consistent pellet size and a smooth surface. Many buyers run flakes from their own washing line, while others purchase washed flakes and operate the pelletizing section as a standalone business.
