Wash Flakes & Granules Clean—Ready for Drying, Pressing, or Extrusion

A stainless screw washer that scrubs, rinses, and separates residues so your recycled plastic enters the next step cleaner, drier, and more consistent.

What it does (simple steps)

1. Agitates & scrubs flakes/granules in a moving screw chamber to remove soil, label glue, and light organics.
2. Rinses & separates fines and floatable residues through screens/traps for a cleaner output.
3. Discharges a more uniform, low-moisture stream that feeds dryers and downstream processes smoothly.

Why it helps

• Cleaner input = better products Less dirt and adhesive means stronger bonding, smoother surfaces, and fewer defects in pressing/molding.
• Steady downstream flow Consistent, partially dewatered granules keep dryers efficient and lines predictable.
• Hygienic, corrosion-resistant build Stainless contact surfaces simplify cleaning and help maintain stable quality shift after shift.
• Flexible in your line Use as a primary granule/flake washer or as a polishing stage after an initial wash.

Where it fits

Typical: Shredder → Granule Washer → Dryer → (Sieving / Press / Extrude / Pelletize) Polishing route: Shredder → Washer → Granule Washer → Dryer → …

Good practice (to elevate quality)

• Pre-sort by polymer/color; pre-shred to a consistent size.
• Skim floating contaminants and capture fines; maintain screen cleanliness.
• Run closed-loop water with filtration when possible; refresh based on load/clarity.
• Pair with a Dryer to remove residual moisture before pressing/pelletizing.
• Follow PPE and lockout procedures during cleaning and maintenance.

Use-case snapshots

• Bottle/cap streams: remove dust, label glue, and organics for clean flakes.
• Post-industrial trims: polish thermoform or sheet off-cuts into consistent feed.
• Community lines: upgrade mixed local plastics into higher-value, process-ready granules.
