PET Wash Line Systems

Size Reduction | Washing | Separating | Drying | Densification

Herbold PET Wash Line Systems are the perfect solution for transforming PET bottle waste into near virgin recyclate. Our modular building block approach allows us to custom configure a system to best satisfy your specific requirements.

Sorting

Sophisticated presorting with Debaler, Ballistic Separator, Eddy Current Separator, Label Remover, Pre-wash Drum and Dry Drum, as well as an Optical and Manual Sorting Station, guarantees highest quality of the recyclates and protects the entire downstream washing line.

Wet Granulation

Granulators for wet operation that combine exceptionally high throughput rates and low fines production with a wear resistant, low maintenance design. Thanks to forced feeding, SB granulators increase throughput by up to 50 % and reduce energy consumption by up to 30%.

Hot Wash

Removes odors and contaminants such as adhesives, liquid residues, sugar or soda in a four-chamber system with a separate hot water circuit. The process parameters temperature, dwell time, detergent and material quantity are freely adjustable.

Hydrocyclone Separation Stage

Excellent separation with up to twelve times the effects of gravity. Turbulence generates high friction and an additional washing effect, which substantially increases the purity of the recyclates. Downstream equipment such as extruders are protected.

Step Dryer

Ideal for PET washing lines and rigid plastics. The multistage, gentle, energy saving drying process, leaves only minimal residual moisture with exceptionally low fines and material loss. The high impact energy of the particles provides an additional cleaning effect

Densification

Fully automatic, continuous duty Herbold HV series plastcompactors transform low bulk density plastics into free flowing agglomerate with high bulk density.

Extrusion

Our Coperion team can provide the optimum solution to every extruding / compounding task. This ranges from special applications on laboratory scale to large scale production. 

Materials Handling

With our partners at Coperion and Coperion K-Tron we design and build consistently reliable and economical bulk material handling systems specifically to the application requirements..
