Plastic recycling line is a complete washing and processing system that turns used PET bottles and plastic waste into clean, reusable flakes. It removes labels, caps, dirt, glue, and metal contaminants – producing high-purity material ready for making new bottles, sheets, or polyester fibre.

This PET recycling line is designed specifically for PET bottle processing. It includes crushing, washing, dewatering, and drying stages. The final output is dry, clean PET flakes with consistent size and low impurity levels. Many customers ask: “How do you recycle plastic bottles?” The answer is simple – feed them through this PET bottle recycling line, and the system does the rest.

What Final Products Come Out of YG Plastic Recycling Line?

After processing through this plastic recycling line, the output is:

  1. Clean PET flakes – 10-18mm in size, moisture ≤1%, metal ≤20ppm
  2. Separated labels and caps – removed during the washing stage and collected for disposal or recycling
  3. Reusable water – the system recycles most of its water, reducing consumption

These clean flakes from the machine are sold to:

  • PET bottle manufacturers – made back into new bottles (bottle-to-bottle recycling)
  • Polyester fibre producers – used for clothing, carpets, and stuffing
  • Sheet extrusion plants – for thermoforming packaging
  • Strapping band manufacturers – for industrial strapping

The quality standard – moisture ≤1%, metal ≤20ppm, total impurity 100-320ppm – ensures the flakes meet buyer specifications. Many pet bottle recycling line operators sell their output directly to fibre mills or sheet factories.

5 Key Features of YG Pet Bottle Recycling Line

YG plastic recycling line offers several advantages for operators.

  1. Adjustable capacity – Four models available from 300kg/h to 2000kg/h. Choose based on your daily target and available space.
  2. Water recycling – The system reuses water for washing. Total fresh water consumption is 2-15 tons per hour depending on model – far less than traditional systems.
  3. High purity output – Final flakes meet strict quality standards: moisture ≤1%, metal ≤20ppm, total impurity 100-320ppm.
  4. Compact design – Workshop space requirements are realistic. The largest model fits an 80×15m area – manageable for most industrial sites.
  5. Low labour requirement – 3-4 workers for the 300kg model, up to 10-12 for the 2000kg model. Automation reduces manual handling.

For anyone investing in a plastic recycling line, these features mean lower operating costs and consistent product quality – two key factors for staying profitable in the recycling business.
