  2. 02Wash & separate
  3. 03Dry & collect
Explore all 12 stages

01 — Process & equipment

Six stages. One clean output.

Follow the material route from bale opening to clean, dry PET flakes.

  1. 01Feed & Debale

    Open compressed bales and establish a steady feed.

  2. 02Delabel & Sort

    Remove sleeves, metals, PVC, and visible impurities.

  3. 03Crush to Flakes

    Reduce bottles to a consistent size for washing.

  4. 04Wash & Separate

    Release dirt and glue, then separate by density.

  5. 05Dry & Purify

    Remove moisture and remaining light contaminants.

  6. 06Pack & Control

    Collect clean flakes under centralized line control.

Equipment across the line

Twelve machines. One connected line.

Each module handles one feeding, cleaning, separation, drying, or control task.
