On July 12, 2024, Zhangjiagang Chenxing Machinery Co., Ltd. announced the shipment of a PE and PP plastic waste washing and recycling line to Russia.
This project demonstrates Chenxing Machinery's experience in manufacturing plastic recycling equipment for international customers. The system was designed to support the processing of waste PE and PP materials through a combination of size reduction, washing, separation and drying processes.
A plastic washing and recycling line needs to be configured according to the incoming material, contamination level, required processing capacity and final recycled product specifications. These factors determine the selection and arrangement of individual machines.
A typical PE and PP plastic washing line may include the following processing stages. The actual configuration depends on the type and condition of the waste material.
Waste plastic is fed into the production line for initial handling. Feeding equipment can be selected according to whether the raw materials are loose, baled or supplied in other forms.
A shredder or crusher reduces bulky plastic waste into smaller pieces, making the material easier to wash and separate. The appropriate machine depends on the material shape, thickness and required output size.
Washing equipment removes targeted contaminants such as soil, sand, labels and other surface impurities. Friction washing or additional washing stages may be used when required by the material condition.
For suitable PE and PP material streams, floating and sinking separation can help separate plastics from heavier contaminants and other materials based on density differences. The separation process must be designed around the actual material mixture.
After washing and separation, the plastic flakes pass through dewatering and, where required, thermal drying equipment to reduce residual moisture before storage or further processing.
The cleaned and dried plastic flakes are collected for storage, transportation or subsequent pelletizing, depending on the customer's recycling process.
There is no single washing line configuration suitable for every type of plastic waste. Before designing a recycling system, engineers need to evaluate:
Plastic material: PE, PP or mixed plastic waste
Feedstock form: film, woven bags, rigid plastic or other scrap
Contamination type and level
Required processing capacity
Target output moisture and cleanliness
Factory layout and available utilities
Whether downstream pelletizing is required
