Product Description

High-Efficiency Friction Washer for PE Film, PP Woven Bags & PET Plastic Recycling

The Friction Washer Machine is an essential cleaning unit in modern plastic recycling systems. It is specially designed for washing highly contaminated plastic materials such as PE film, PP woven bags, agricultural film, PET flakes, rigid plastics, and mixed plastic scraps.


By using a high-speed rotating screw combined with continuous water flushing, the friction washer removes mud, sand, labels, oil stains, glue residues, paper fiber, and organic contaminants from plastic flakes and films before drying and pelletizing.


At Zhangjiagang Chenxing Machinery, we manufacture durable and energy-efficient friction washing systems for complete plastic recycling lines. Our machines are widely used in:


The equipment is engineered for stable continuous operation, low maintenance, and high cleaning efficiency, making it an ideal choice for plastic recycling factories worldwide.

What Is a Friction Washer?

A friction washer is a high-speed cleaning machine used in plastic recycling processes. The machine generates strong friction between plastic materials, water, and the rotor screen to remove contaminants from the material surface.

The system is especially suitable for:

  • Highly contaminated plastic waste

  • Mixed plastics with dirt and sand

  • Plastic films with mud or organic waste

  • Post-consumer recycling materials

Compared with traditional washing equipment, a friction washer provides deeper cleaning performance while reducing water consumption.



How the Friction Washer Works

The friction washer consists of:

  • High-speed rotating screw rotor

  • Stainless steel perforated screen basket

  • Water spraying system

  • Heavy-duty motor and bearing system

  • Strong welded machine frame

During operation:

  1. Plastic material enters the washing chamber.

  2. The rotor rotates at high speed to create strong friction.

  3. Water continuously flushes contaminants away from the material surface.

  4. Dirt, sand, glue, and residues pass through the screen mesh.

  5. Clean plastic material exits the machine for the next recycling step.

The combination of mechanical friction and water cleaning significantly improves washing quality before drying and pelletizing.
