Questions buyers ask
What capacity can a PET bottle washing line have?
Our PET bottle washing lines are configured from about 500 to 5,000 kg/h. The right size depends on the bottle source, contamination and the flake quality you need.
Do washed PET flakes count as food-grade?
No. Washing produces clean flakes for fiber, sheet, strapping and pelletizing. Bottle-to-bottle and food-contact use need validated decontamination after washing.
