Product Description

Recover Water. Reduce Costs. Improve Sustainability.

Water is one of the most critical operating resources in modern plastic recycling plants. However, traditional plastic washing processes consume massive amounts of freshwater while generating wastewater contaminated with labels, glue residues, organic contaminants, suspended solids, oils, detergents, and hot alkali chemicals.

Without an effective wastewater treatment solution, recycling plants face:

  • Rising water consumption costs

  • Higher wastewater discharge fees

  • Increased chemical consumption

  • Environmental compliance risks

  • Reduced operational efficiency

The Chenxing Plastic Recycling Water Treatment System is specifically engineered to recover, treat, and recycle wastewater generated by PET bottle washing lines, plastic film washing lines, HDPE container recycling systems, and industrial plastic cleaning operations.


By integrating advanced filtration, sedimentation, flotation, chemical dosing, and water recirculation technologies, our systems can recover and reuse up to 80% or more of process water, significantly reducing operational expenses while supporting environmental sustainability goals.


Plastic Recycling Water Treatment System for PET Bottle Washing Line Wastewater Recovery


Why Plastic Recycling Plants Need Water Treatment Systems

Modern recycling facilities operate under increasing pressure to:

Reduce Water Consumption

Freshwater costs continue to rise worldwide. Recycling and reusing process water dramatically lowers utility expenses.


Meet Environmental Regulations

Governments increasingly regulate wastewater discharge and chemical contaminants.


Improve Production Sustainability

Closed-loop water recycling systems help manufacturers achieve ESG and sustainability objectives.


Lower Chemical Costs

Recovered process water requires fewer treatment chemicals compared with continuous freshwater replacement.


Increase Plant Profitability

Water recovery reduces:

  • Water purchase costs

  • Wastewater disposal fees

  • Heating energy consumption

  • Chemical procurement expenses



What Is a Plastic Recycling Water Treatment System?

A water treatment system is an integrated wastewater recovery solution that removes contaminants from process water generated during plastic washing operations.

The system treats wastewater through multiple stages:

  1. Solid-liquid separation

  2. Sedimentation

  3. Oil and grease removal

  4. Dissolved air flotation (DAF)

  5. Fine filtration

  6. Chemical adjustment

  7. Water recirculation

The treated water can then be reused in washing lines, reducing freshwater demand and wastewater discharge.


Typical Wastewater Sources

Our systems are designed for wastewater generated by:

PET Bottle Recycling Lines

  • Label removal wastewater

  • Hot washing wastewater

  • Caustic washing wastewater

  • Friction washer discharge


Plastic Film Recycling Lines

  • Agricultural film washing

  • LDPE film cleaning

  • PP woven bag washing


HDPE & PP Recycling Plants

  • Container washing

  • Drum recycling

  • Household plastic recycling


Industrial Plastic Processing

  • Plastic granulation cleaning

  • Compound production

  • Manufacturing wastewater



Water Treatment Process Flow

Stage 1: Collection

Wastewater from washing equipment is collected into a treatment system.


Stage 2: Primary Separation

Large contaminants are removed through:

  • Vibrating screens

  • Collection tanks

  • Solid-liquid separation devices

This protects downstream equipment.


Stage 3: Sedimentation

Suspended solids settle inside specially designed sedimentation tanks.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced turbidity

  • Lower filter loading

  • Improved water quality


Stage 4: Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)

For high-capacity systems, micro-bubbles attach to oils, grease, and suspended contaminants.

The flotation process effectively removes:

  • Labels

  • Adhesives

  • Fine particles

  • Oils

  • Organic contaminants


Stage 5: Filtration

Advanced filtration units remove remaining fine particles.

Available filtration technologies include:

  • Quartz sand filtration

  • Filter press systems

  • Multi-stage filtration units


Stage 6: Chemical Dosing & pH Adjustment

Automatic dosing systems ensure:

  • Stable pH values

  • Improved treatment performance

  • Reduced chemical consumption


Stage 7: Water Reuse

Clean treated water is returned to the washing line for continuous recycling.
