Washing Plant - HDPE / PP

Product Descriptions

Our washing plants for rigid HDPE-PP plastics are designed and manufactured with state-of-the-art technologies in order to optimize productivity, reduce waste, and ensure a high degree of energy efficiency and water sustainability.

What sets us apart is our ability to design and manufacture custom-made lines made in Italy according to the specific needs of each individual customer, to realize the perfect solution.

INNOVATIVE WASHING

All of our recycling solutions for rigid HDPE-PP plastics are fully customized because the configuration of a washing line can be very different depending on the type and degree of contamination of the plastic material to be recovered.

Washing plants are divided into several stages, depending on the characteristics of the input material. In general, the plants designed by Recy Technologies are divided into several main stages:

Selection and grinding
This stage is designed and carried out with special care as it is essential to carry out good selection, either manual or automatic, and accurate grinding to ensure optimum operation of the entire line and excellent final product quality.

This processing cycle consists of robust and easy-to-maintain machines capable of processing rigid HDPE-PP plastics with high contamination rates, and the composition of the machinery depends on the type of input material.

Prewashing and washing
Our systems are customized and can include water or dry prewashing and cold or hot washing, depending on the type and quality of the material. In this way, we are able to ensure excellent separation and washing of the material, while ensuring greater energy efficiency and minimizing water consumption.

Unlike conventional systems that wash cold, our innovative washing system washes hot. An additional strength is that Recy Technologies' washing system self-generates heat and does not require heating systems for water and steam generation, with associated electrical costs and maintenance issues. It is, moreover, capable of removing all kinds of impurities and printing inks, which is essential for obtaining a top-quality granule. Unlike conventional plants, an additional feature we are deeply proud of is our ability to obtain an odor-free ground and/or final granule without the need for additional chemical additives to remove odor.

Drying and granulation
The machinery present at this stage of processing is designed with extreme care in order to remove most of the water content left in the product, reaching a moisture content of less than 0.5 percent. In this way, we are able to minimize subsequent energy and operating costs during the granulation phrase.

Due to the very low moisture content, we are able to perform excellent homogenization and degassing process, through single or twin screw plants, achieving excellent granulation.

From the waste, we can provide a suitable granule to make various finished products, including bottle-to-bottle granule. We have unique technologies that allow us to make endless transformations with any kind of waste.
