Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PET washing line and what does it do?
A PET washing line cleans post-consumer bottles into hot-washed flakes ready for pelletising. Stages typically include label removal, cold and hot washing, friction scrubbing, rinsing, separation and drying.
Hot washing vs cold washing – which do I need?
Hot washing with caustic better removes glues, oils and residues and is preferred for food-grade or high-value PET. Cold washing uses less energy and suits lighter contamination. The right choice depends on your input and end market.
What contaminants must a washing line remove?
Labels and glue, food and oil residues, caps and rings, and foreign plastics or metals. Good lines combine washing, density separation and metal removal to hit flake purity specs.
