Cleaning method for recycling PET bottles abroad

In this paper, PET bottles for recycling sorting andEnvironmental Department to develop a film
cleaning technology to make some brief remarks,separated from the PET bottles PVC machine. In
also introduced in these areas representative of99 years that the machine (Flakesort) put into
the two foreign companies. In the present,use on clean, dry, 3mm or more bottles of films
China's plastics recycling industry, beverageseparated, can achieve 99 +% of the effect that
bottles (PET) recycling is perhaps the mostif the material contains 1% of the PVC, up to
"money" passers-by, but also the0.01% after the separation (100PPM). For color
most popular recovery projects. In theseparation, when the visible light through the
post-consumer plastics recycling, the impact ofcolored bottles when the bottles will show
the quality of the final product there are twoshadows, so it is easy to be colored bottles and
important factors: sorting and cleaning. 1. Sortingbottles separated from the transparent, NRT has
the majority of recycling companies in China isdeveloped a modular detachable splitter out of
currently dealing with post-consumer bottles orlight blue, dark blue, black different colors of bottle
other containers used method of manual sorting,[NRT Company: email: ] the recovered PET
in foreign countries, especially in Europe and thebottles washing are commonly used to tow the
United States, has developed an automatedboat, extrusion sheet, re-bottle. For the PVC
sorting equipment to adapt to large-scale materialcontent of 100ppm tow the boat will be able to
processing requirements. Principle: The so-calledmeet the needs and re-bottle of PVC content in
separation or isolation of PET bottle-doped PVC,the following general requirements for control
other polymers bottles and colored bottles. (Cap20PPM. I engaged in recycling of waste plastics in
and label in the sorting process can not bea few years, had received a lot of manufacturers
removed.) Almost all of the sorting system areof domestic recycling the recovered samples,
based on the same principle, namely, the use ofsent to the United States or Europe to the test,
different light absorption of different resins. Rawthe result is adhesive and the PVC concentrations

to decide whether it should be the substancegenerally include: pre-wash parts, clean parts,
from the material flow in the pop-up. For theother parts of the process of rinsing. Pre-wash
pop-up, the detector immediately after thesome of the general process is to use water to

material flow in the pop-up. Maintenance: Theare wear and tear effects of pollutants, this part
separator is very little maintenance, generalof the use of water from PET bottles washing
maintenance for the conveyor belt, air valves, andareas, otherwise the water will be discharged as
compressed air, while the system scale (setwaste water. In the pre-wash part of the (heat),
value) the need to give updates at thethe adhesive labels began to melt glue, PVC
appropriate time. Computer System: All thebottles began to fade. Cleaning (Bottle): By PET
detectors are controlled by computer systems. Abottles washing tank, the horizontal separators
general separator, manufacturers will provideand other equipment can be glue residue and
network connectivity to diagnose and analyze theother contaminants to separate. At the same
production process problems and solve them. Thetime in the cleaning process may be based on the
principle of selection: choosing whether separationimpurity content of materials is uniform to select
system is based on the capacity of recyclingcontinuous or intermittent cleaning. If the material
companies to decide, but now the bottle hasimpurities uniformly choose a continuous cleaning,
reached maximum yield of separator 5000KG / H.content cleaning uneven choose intermittent.
Select X-ray or infrared light by the userRinsing process: the density of different polymers
according to actual needs in general to determine,can be separated and re-balance the PH value of
infrared can be measured a lot of new polymers,the material and cleaning. Water treatment: water
and can be very good to remove impurities in thetreatment is very important, not only for the
PET. Some dirty bottles or bottles of liquid willfunctions of the machine but also for the end
cause the X-ray detector to detect errors occur,product quality and processing costs are also very
many users choose X just because theimportant, a need for a successful product line
technology is very mature. Bottles of tablets andwith a water filtration, treatment and recycling
