Recycling

Plastic washing is not one-size-fits-all One of the biggest mistakes in plastic recycling is assuming the same washing process will work across every waste stream. It will not. The right plastic washing system depends on the material type, contamination level, moisture content, throughput target, downstream process, and required output quality. A washing line built for

Rotajet Separation Systems for Upgrading Existing Plants The UK plastic recycling industry is evolving rapidly. Yet they still struggle with: In many cases, the limiting factor is plastic separation machinery UK. This is why more operators are now choosing to retrofit advanced plastic recycling machinery into existing plants, rather than replacing complete systems. Rotajet Plastic

Industrial Size Reduction for Plastic Recycling Plastic recycling begins with size reduction. Before plastics can be washed, separated or processed into reusable material, they must first be broken down into smaller pieces. Industrial plastic shredders and granulators are used to reduce large plastic products into flakes or regrind suitable for recycling processes. Rotajet industrial shredders

Industrial Plastic Washing Systems for Contaminated Plastic Recycling Plastic recycling facilities increasingly face a major challenge: contamination in plastic waste streams. Plastic materials recovered from food processing, waste packaging, anaerobic digestion plants, paint container recycling and industrial processes often contain oils, fats, food residues, labels, adhesives and organic contamination. Without effective cleaning, these contaminants can

Integrated Filtration Systems Engineered by Rotajet Rotajet designs and manufactures plastic recycling machinery in the UK, integrating washing, density separation and water filtration into complete industrial systems — not standalone machines. The Integrated Rotajet Plastic Recycling Machinery UK Process A typical Rotajet Plastic Recycling Machinery UK system operates in a controlled sequence: Plastic feed enters

Rotajet Systems Ltd designs and manufactures industrial plastic washing systems in the UK for recycling operators worldwide. Rotajet plastic washing plants are engineered specifically for high-contamination post-consumer and commercial waste streams — not ideal laboratory conditions. Material quality standards promoted by WRAP and the British Plastics Federation continue to push recyclers toward higher-grade outputs and

Typical Applications for Plastic Washing Lines Feed Preparation and Size Reduction The process begins with size reduction, where incoming plastic is shredded and granulated to produce a consistent particle size. Uniform feed material directly improves washing efficiency, separation accuracy, and downstream drying performance. Poor size control leads to uneven cleaning and increased contamination carryover.
