KITECH has designed and built dozens of plastic washing lines in our Zhangjiagang manufacturing facility. We engineer three product series, matched to feedstock type, including flexible film and woven bag washing systems, rigid HDPE\/PP\/ABS bottle and container washing systems, and WEEE mixed plastics washing systems. Each series consists of individual modular components, available as a single line or a system design, and scaled to any throughput requirement.\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <button class=\"ks-toggle-btn\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n          <span class=\"ks-toggle-text\">Read More<\/span>\n          <span class=\"ks-toggle-icon\">\u25bc<\/span>\n        <\/button>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"ks-card ks-card-3 ks-animate-item\">\n        <span class=\"ks-step-number\">03<\/span>\n        <h3 class=\"ks-card-title\">Guaranteed Results<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"ks-text-wrapper\">\n          <div class=\"ks-body-text\">\n            <h4 class=\"ks-inline-h4\">End result: high purity plastic flakes<\/h4> with moisture content as low as 3\u20135%, ready for pellet production or fiber spinning.

We provide LDW lines to producers of greenhouse film to textiles, and show proven water, oil, and adhesive removal and low residual moisture to end users.<\/p>\n        \n        <div class=\"kws-table-responsive\">\n          <table class=\"kws-data-table\">\n            <thead>\n              <tr>\n                <th>Model<\/th>\n                <th>Capacity (kg\/h)<\/th>\n                <th>Footprint L\u00d7W\u00d7H (m)<\/th>\n                <th>Energy (kWh)<\/th>\n                <th>Installed Power (kW)<\/th>\n                <th>Steam (kg\/h)<\/th>\n                <th>Chemical (kg\/h)<\/th>\n                <th>Operators\/Shift<\/th>\n              <\/tr>\n            <\/thead>\n            <tbody>\n              <tr><td>LDW300<\/td><td>250\u2013300<\/td><td>29 \u00d7 10 \u00d7 5<\/td><td>120<\/td><td>195<\/td><td>0\u2013150<\/td><td>0\u20132<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr>\n              <tr><td>LDW500<\/td><td>400\u2013500<\/td><td>35 \u00d7 12 \u00d7 6<\/td><td>180<\/td><td>290<\/td><td>0\u2013200<\/td><td>0\u20134<\/td><td>3<\/td><\/tr>\n              <tr><td>LDW1000<\/td><td>800\u20131,000<\/td><td>50 \u00d7 12 \u00d7 6<\/td><td>280<\/td><td>446<\/td><td>0\u2013300<\/td><td>0\u20138<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr>\n              <tr><td>LDW1500<\/td><td>1,250\u20131,500<\/td><td>70 \u00d7 15 \u00d7 6<\/td><td>395<\/td><td>530<\/td><td>0\u2013450<\/td><td>0\u201310<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr>\n              <tr><td>LDW2000<\/td><td>1,700\u20132,000<\/td><td>90 \u00d7 15 \u00d7 6<\/td><td>490<\/td><td>760<\/td><td>0\u2013600<\/td><td>0\u201312<\/td><td>4<\/td><\/tr>\n            <\/tbody>\n          <\/table>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"kws-bottom-content\">\n          <div class=\"kws-tip-box\">\n            <h4 class=\"kws-tip-title\">Procurement Tip<\/h4>\n            <p class=\"kws-text\">If your plant deals with more than one type of feedstock from, say, soft film to harder rigid plastics, you could save up to 25 % of civil engineering costs building two lines with the same waste water treatment plants and electrical infrastructure like this combined LDW + RPW line. Our engineering team can draw up a dual-line layout for you.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"kws-final-text\">\n            <p class=\"kws-text\">Every system above \u2014 from the LDW soft plastic washing line through the RPW rigid plastic recycling washing line to the WES series \u2014 ships as a complete recycling line incorporating belt conveyors, screw loaders, friction washers, floating tanks, sink float separation tanks, drying modules, and PLC-controlled electrical cabinets with international-brand low-voltage components and metal detection systems. This modular design means you can expand capacity, add hot washing, or integrate a film washing line module later without rebuilding the entire recycling system. KITECH also supplies waste plastic washing plant configurations for post-consumer plastics processing, including PE film recycling and LDPE film flakes recovery.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div id=\"kws-rpw\" class=\"kws-tab-content\" role=\"tabpanel\">\n        <h3 class=\"kws-series-title\">Rigid Plastic Washing Line (RPW Series) \u2014 HDPE, PP, ABS Bottle and Container Recycling<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"kws-text\">Rigid blow-molded bottles, injection molded buckets and other containers, and similar wastes speak to the use of a high-torque drum crusher with adjustable knives, a centrifugal dewatering machine and a hot air pipeline dryer, with sink-float tanks using double station discharge valves to separate the plastics by density.

Energy consumption per kilogram processed is actually lower on automated recycling machines because continuous operation eliminates start-stop inefficiency that plagues manual setups. For washing plants processing more than 500 kg\/h of waste plastic, the operational cost advantage of a fully closed loop water system with centrifugal dewatering and sorting and separation automation typically reaches breakeven within the first year.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"kitech-highlight-box\">\n      <h4 class=\"kitech-highlight-stat\">12\u201324 Months<\/h4>\n      <p class=\"kitech-highlight-desc\">Typical payback period for automated plastic washing lines, based on industry operator reports for plants processing \u22651,000 kg\/h of post-consumer plastic waste.<\/p>\n      <p class=\"kitech-highlight-source\">Source: Industry benchmark data [QUALIFIED \u2014 based on operator feedback across KITECH installations]<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<script>\n  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n    const moduleScope = document.getElementById('kitech-comparison-module');\n    if(moduleScope) {\n        \/\/ Module is ready\n    }\n  });\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-292c6c4\" data-block-id=\"292c6c4\"><style>.stk-292c6c4 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-292c6c4-column alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-3992914\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"3992914\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-3992914-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-3992914-inner-blocks\">\n<div id=\"pws-custom-module\">\n  <style>\n    \/* ==========================================================================\n       Scope: Highest Level Isolation for #pws-custom-module\n       ========================================================================= *\/\n    #pws-custom-module {\n      width: 100%;\n      padding: 40px 0;

A PET flake batch with 1.5% moisture is sold at a premium to one at 4%, as it causes less process interruption downstream: Faster extruders, less rejected material. PVC content follows the same logic \u2014 most buyers automatically reject batches above 100 ppm, regardless of other quality metrics. This is why we size our sink-float separation tanks to measure in the sub-40 ppm ranges: It gets our clients getting the highest possible flake revenues, paying for the washing line faster. Operating in an energy-intensive industry, we find operators who skip hot washing to cut steam costs, actually lose more in flake prices, than they save on energy.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <script>\n    \/* ==========================================================================\n       Vanilla JS for Tab Switching logic\n       ========================================================================= *\/\n    document.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() {\n      \/\/ Scope everything within the module\n      var moduleContainer = document.getElementById(\"pws-custom-module\");\n      if (!moduleContainer) return;\n\n      var tabButtons = moduleContainer.querySelectorAll(\".pws-tab-btn\");\n      var tabContents = moduleContainer.querySelectorAll(\".pws-tab-content\");\n\n      tabButtons.forEach(function(btn) {\n        btn.addEventListener(\"click\", function() {\n          \/\/ Remove active class from all buttons and contents\n          tabButtons.forEach(function(b) { b.classList.remove(\"pws-active\"); });\n          tabContents.forEach(function(c) { c.classList.remove(\"pws-active\"); });\n\n          \/\/ Add active class to clicked button\n          this.classList.add(\"pws-active\");\n\n          \/\/ Show corresponding content\n          var targetId = this.getAttribute(\"data-target\");\n          var targetContent = moduleContainer.querySelector(\"#\" + targetId);\n          if (targetContent) {\n            targetContent.classList.add(\"pws-active\");\n          }\n        });\n      });\n    });\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-2acb9e3\" data-block-id=\"2acb9e3\"><style>.stk-2acb9e3 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-2acb9e3-column alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-512fd91\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"512fd91\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-512fd91-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-512fd91-inner-blocks\">\n<section id=\"pws-engineering-tools-module\">\n  <style>\n    \/* ==========================================================================\n       1.
