What is a PE Film Washing Line?

A PE film washing line is a complete recycling system used for processing waste polyethylene films such as agricultural film, packaging film, and post-consumer plastic waste.

It integrates multiple stages including crushing, washing, separation, and drying to produce high-purity recycled flakes.

Application Materials

  • Agricultural film
  • Packaging film
  • Plastic bags
  • Industrial stretch film
  • Garbage film

These materials are often highly contaminated and require intensive cleaning processes.

Process Flow

A standard PE film washing line typically includes the following stages:

1. Feeding & Crushing:Waste film is conveyed into a crusher for size reduction.

2. Pre-washing:Removes sand, soil, and heavy impurities.

3. Friction Washing:High-speed friction removes oil, glue, and contaminants.

4. Float-Sink Separation:Separates light film from heavy contaminants based on density.

5. Dewatering & Drying:Centrifugal or squeezing systems reduce moisture to below 5%.

6. Final Output:Clean and dry flakes ready for pelletizing or reuse.

Key Equipment Components

  • Belt Conveyor
  • Crusher / Shredder
  • Friction Washer
  • Floating Tank
  • Dewatering Machine
  • Drying System

These modules work together to ensure efficient cleaning and stable operation.

Key Advantages

  1. High Cleaning Efficiency:Effectively removes contaminants even from heavily polluted films.
  2. Energy Saving Design:Optimized water and energy consumption.
  3. Automation Control:Reduces labor cost and improves productivity.
  4. Flexible Configuration:Capacity ranges from 300 kg/h to 2000 kg/h or more.
  5. High-Quality Output:Produces clean flakes suitable for pelletizing and extrusion.

Application Value

After washing, recycled PE film can be used for:

  • Plastic pelletizing
  • Film blowing production
  • Injection molding
  • Packaging materials

This significantly reduces raw material costs and supports sustainable development.

The PE Film Washing Line is a critical solution in modern plastic recycling systems. With its high efficiency, automation, and adaptability, it enables manufacturers to transform waste into valuable resources while meeting environmental regulations.
