The Container Recycling Process
Rotajet’s container recycling process ensures that each step is optimized for efficiency, cleanliness, and material recovery. Here’s an overview of the typical process flow:
First, the containers are fed into a powerful shredder, typically via a flighted incline conveyor. The shredder reduces them to around 70mm, increasing surface area for more effective downstream processing.
Shredded material enters a sink-float tank, where heavier contaminants—like stones, metals, glass, PET, PVC, and ABS—sink, separating them from the HDPE. This step ensures cleaner material for the next stage.
After shredding, the material moves to a wet granulator. This high-performance machine ensures a consistent particle size. Built for tough environments, our granulators deliver reliable performance.
A high-speed friction washer (up to 3000rpm) removes remaining contamination from the plastic. Its intense spinning action, combined with wash liquor, ensures a deep clean.
After washing and granulation, our mechanical dryers deliver the most efficient plastic dewatering, achieving under 5% moisture in rigid materials.
A zig-zag separator removes fines and light contaminants, ensuring the granulate is clean and high-quality—ready for extrusion into new products.
