Raw materials: Beverage bottles, mineral water bottle, food bottles/jars (salad dressing, peanut butter, honey, etc.).
01— Project introduction
PET is one of the world’s most widely-used packaging polymers, yet also a major fraction of ocean-bound plastic waste. Post-consumer PET bottles are 100 % recyclable and can be remolded into new packaging to build a closed-loop circular-economy system.POLYTEC-POLYRETEC supplies fully modular, turn-key PET bottle washing recycling lines with capacity ranging from 500-6000 kg/h. Our production lines deliver food-grade / bottle-to-bottle, sheet-grade and fiber-grade rPET flakes, complying with U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1630 food-contact requirements. With over 15-year industry experience, we tailor-configure each solution according to local raw-material conditions, impurity loads and target-quality standards.
02— Applicable materials
With more than 15 years of experience in PET recycling field, POLYTEC can provide a solution that meets your needs in value and efficiency.
POLYTEC can treat different conditions of PET bottle: Beverage bottles, mineral water bottle, food bottles/jars (salad dressing, peanut butter, honey, etc.).

04— Advantages
✅ Adaptable for variable incoming PET bales Modular layout handles mixed-quality post-consumer bottle bales from different sources.
✅ High-efficiency automatic debaling Robust bale-breaking performance for high-density compressed bottle bales; frequency-conversion speed control reduces manual labour input.
✅ Precise PVC & label elimination Multi-stage mechanical label stripping + zig-zag air separation achieves target residual PVC label below 10 ppm (subject to feedstock).
✅ Reliable hot-washing purification Combined pre-washing and high-temperature hot-washing process effectively removes glue, oil and surface contaminants for stable food-grade flake quality.
✅ Closed-loop water-recycling system Built-in online circulating-water filtration greatly cuts freshwater intake and wastewater discharge, lowering operating cost.
✅ Multi-level sorting guarantee purity NIR optical sorting for whole bottles + finished flakes, combined with metal detection and manual inspection station, minimize non-PET foreign-material.
✅ Intelligent full-line control Auto chemical-dosing, steam-water injection, heating-time setting; real-time online monitoring, homogenizing blending and on-line weighing stabilize final-product consistency.
05 — Unit Introduction
image.png
Debaler
Forklift feeds compressed bottle bales; frequency-regulated conveying for steady feeding.
image_WH_800x600px (16).jpg image_WH_800x600px (17).jpg
Trommel screen
The effect is to break up the lumps, sift out small garbage and part of the bottle cap.
Pre-washer
High-temperature chemical pre-cleaning removes surface dirt and residual adhesive labels before main washing.
image (30).jpg
Label Scrapping machine
Mechanical label peeling; air-flow separation extracts labels from bottles; separation efficiency up to 99 %.
image (31).jpg
Label blower
Due to the weight difference between bottles and labels, labels are separated out by the wind force of the label blowing fan that is equipped to the discharge end of the drum of the blowing machine, brought into the label screen frame and collected by the trolley or blown to the wrapping machine; while bottles are outputted from the other end and delivered to the next process by the double-screw conveyor.

Optical bottle sorting section
Polyretec provides optical sorting machine and integraton solution by cooperating with well-known sorting device manufacturers across the world.On one hand,automatic opticalsorting macthine can reduce the mananement cost and man power requirement and on the other hand guaranteeing the stablity of sorting.
image_WH_500x500px (4).jpg image_WH_500x500px (5).jpg
Wet Crusher
Quick-change blade design without belt disassembly; twin-screw forced feeding for high throughput; spline knife-shaft structure reduces fine-powder generation.
1. Blade change without opening the cover and without moving the belt, enabling quick Blade changes.
2. Equipped with twin-screw forced feeding mechanism, ensuring high output and stable feeding.
3. Spline knife shaft mechanism results in low powder content and high output
