How many plastic bottles do you discard in a year? How are various plastic bottles recycled?

Firstly, sort plastic bottles based on different materials and remove debris; Secondly, place the sorted plastic bottles of the same type into the soaking pool, soften the labels on the bottle body with the soaking solution, and remove them; Then, place the plastic bottle with the label removed into a grinder for crushing treatment; Once again, feed the plastic bottle fragments into the air separation equipment and remove the remaining label fragments from the plastic bottle fragments by blowing air; Next, the plastic bottle fragments are fed into a separation tank, and the bottle body fragments and bottle cap fragments are separated by a separation solution based on the different densities of the bottle body and bottle cap; Finally, the separated bottle fragments are steamed, disinfected, and dried.

As an environmental expert who has been working in the waste plastic bottle recycling industry for several years, I have some experience in plastic bottle crushing and sorting, and also have good equipment recommendations. In terms of shredding, according to the requirements for the discharge size from large to small, pre-shredder, double-shaft shredder, four-shaft shredder, and fine shredder can be selected in sequence. For example, in the GD series double-shaft shredder, the cutter box in the core crushing unit adopts an integral design and is processed as a whole. The bearing seat has high concentricity and is not easily deformed after long-term use; the cutting tools are made of imported alloy steel material, which has high wear resistance and moderate toughness. High quality knife box+cutting tools, resulting in a longer service life and higher cost-effectiveness when crushing plastic bottles. In terms of air separation, it is advisable to try the GFX series wind sifter. It utilizes the principle of different material weights and wind resistance, and uses the same size of wind to drive label fragments, achieving the goal of easy automatic grading of plastic fragments and label fragments.

The plastic fragments disposed of through a series of processes can be remade into plastic products, achieving rebirth and creating economic value.
