HDPE Detergent Bottle Washing Line
About this video
HDPE bottles for detergents and cleaning products are a large source of plastic waste. This crushing, washing and recycling line turns discarded HDPE bottles into reusable raw material.
The bottles are first crushed, then washed to remove contaminants, labels and residual chemicals. Separation steps such as centrifugal dewatering and flotation purify the flakes, which are dried before extrusion and pelletizing into recycled HDPE pellets.

Questions buyers ask
Why do detergent bottles need a dedicated washing line?
They carry residue of detergents and cleaning agents as well as labels and caps. Washing and separation remove these so the flakes can be pelletized.
What flake size does the line produce?
Typically 8–17 mm, set by the crusher screen.
