In the plastic packaging industry, PE film is a widely used material, and its recycling and reuse is of great significance for environmental protection and resource circulation. ACERETECH, as a professional plastic recycling equipment manufacturer, has launched a set of efficient PE film recycling and washing lines, which aims to completely remove ink, adhesives, dust and other impurities on the film and realize the clean recycling of PE film.
Introduction to PE film
PE film, also known as polyethylene film, is widely used in food packaging, commodity packaging, agricultural covering and other fields because of its good chemical stability, low temperature resistance and processing performance. However, the used PE film is often stained with pollutants such as ink and adhesives, and needs to be treated by professional cleaning equipment before it can be put back into the production cycle.
Features of ACERETECH PE film recycling and washing line
HS shredder: HS shredder shreds the PE film initially for subsequent cleaning.
Belt conveyor with metal detection: The shredded film passes through the belt conveyor with metal detection to automatically remove metal impurities and ensure the cleaning quality.
Equipped with two floatation washers: The film is washed in two floatation washers to initially remove surface pollutants.
Screw loader: The screw conveyor evenly delivers the cleaned film to the next link.
Equipped with two high speed friction washing: Two high speed friction washing equipment are used for high-speed friction washing to effectively remove stubborn stains.
Equipped with two squeezers: The cleaned film passes through two squeezers to remove excess water.
20cm³ silo: The squeezed PE film is stored in a 20cm³ silo for subsequent processing.
Fully automatic intelligent washing: The entire washing line adopts a fully automatic intelligent control system to reduce manual intervention and improve washing efficiency.

The plastic PP PE film washing and recycling line is an advanced system specifically designed for crushing, cleaning, dehydration, and drying of PP PE film and woven PP bags. This equipment offers several benefits, such as simple structure, easy operation, high output, low energy consumption, and enhanced safety and stability. By automating key processes, this line ensures a compact layout, high production efficiency, and a superior cleaning effect.
Simple Operation: Designed for ease of use, the machinery allows operators to handle waste materials with minimal manual intervention.
High Output: The recycling line maximizes throughput, ensuring that large volumes of waste can be processed efficiently.
Energy Efficiency: By optimizing power consumption, the line significantly reduces operational costs.
Safety and Stability: Built with the latest safety standards, the equipment ensures smooth, reliable operation.
The PE PP film and woven bag cleaning line has a wide range of applications, making it suitable for processing various waste materials. These include:
PP woven bags such as cement bags, bulk bags, and feed sacks.
PE film such as shopping bags, packaging films, industrial waste films, and agricultural films (mulch, greenhouse films).
PA nylon for industrial and consumer waste recovery.
Household waste plastics, including garbage bags, plastic wraps, and service packaging films.
Stretch films, winding films, and drip irrigation bags used in commercial and agricultural sectors.
This equipment efficiently handles waste materials like domestic plastic garbage, industrial packaging film, and agricultural plastic mulch, ensuring that all types of plastic film are thoroughly cleaned and processed for recycling.
One of the most common challenges in traditional plastic film recycling processes is limited capacity, especially when processing materials like woven bags and soft films. Traditional crushers often struggle to handle high volumes, leading to slow processing times and increased energy consumption.
Through innovations in spindle structure and the integration of an optimized shear angle, Retech’s crushers now process soft materials like PP PE film and woven bags with greater efficiency. The improved design has increased shear efficiency by 70%, allowing for higher throughput. Additionally, the new open spindle structure dramatically increases the line’s production capacity while keeping energy consumption low.
Another challenge in plastic recycling is achieving optimal humidity control. In traditional systems, films are often inadequately dried, leaving a moisture content as high as 10%. This high moisture content makes it difficult for recycled film to undergo granulation for reuse.

To address this, Retech has enhanced the drying process by extending the contact time with hot air, allowing for more effective moisture removal. The upgraded system includes both dehydration and drying processes, ensuring that the film reaches a moisture content of about 5%. Additionally, with the introduction of a film extruder, moisture is further reduced to under 3%, making the material ideal for film granulation and recycling.
The extrusion drying process not only heats the material through the screw and flow channels but also expels the water through the mesh, resulting in a significantly lower moisture content. The film is then granulated into small particles, ready for reuse.
The core processes involved in plastic film recycling are designed for maximum efficiency and output quality. Here is a step-by-step outline of the production line:
Conveying the Film – The waste material is transported to the crusher.
Crushing – The material undergoes water-assisted crushing to reduce its size.
Rinsing – High-speed friction ensures that contaminants are thoroughly removed.
Dehydration – The film is wrung out to remove excess water.
Drying – After dehydration, the film is dried using a pipeline drying system, reducing moisture levels for further processing.
By incorporating friction cleaning, rinsing, extrusion dehydration, and drying, the recycling line transforms waste materials into clean, usable plastic films. For further moisture reduction, an optional wringing machine can be added, reducing moisture content to 2-5%, which prepares the film for granulation.
This set of crushing, cleaning, and recycling equipment is developed with a focus on the environmental protection standards required for waste plastic recycling globally. The equipment is specifically designed to handle soft floating plastics such as waste braided tape and films, ensuring that it meets the needs of industries looking for sustainable solutions.
By reintroducing recycled plastics into the supply chain, this technology reduces the need for virgin plastic production, making it an integral part of the circular economy.
Our R&D department has repeatedly tested and developed a new generation of efficient, water-saving plastic recycling equipment. The key features include:
Low energy consumption for reduced operational costs.
High output for large-scale recycling needs.
Attractive appearance for easy integration into modern facilities.
Reliable and durable components for long-term use.
