PET Recycling Line

A complete line that turns collected PET bottles into salable clean flakes. Every stage — from bale opening to drying — under a single engineering responsibility.

PET Recycling Line

From bottle to clean flakes

The PET bottle recycling line processes bottles arriving baled or in bulk, step by step, to produce high-purity PET flakes. İnan Tech manufactures every piece of equipment on the line in-house and installs it on a turnkey basis, so that all stages work in harmony.

Stages of the line

  • 1. Bale Opening & Feeding: bales are opened and material is fed steadily into the line.
  • 2. Pre-Separation: pre-removal of labels, caps and foreign matter.
  • 3. Crushing: bottles are reduced to a homogeneous flake size.
  • 4. Hot & Friction Washing: oil, adhesives and dirt are dissolved.
  • 5. Sink-Float: PET is separated from caps (PP/PE) and labels by density difference.
  • 6. Drying: moisture is removed by mechanical drying; clean flakes are obtained.

You can also review the machines for each stage individually: granulator / crusher, washing line, shredder.

Output: where are clean PET flakes used?

The high-purity PET flakes produced by the line are used in many fields as an alternative to virgin raw material: fiber production, strapping, sheet, and — under suitable conditions — bottle-to-bottle applications are among the foremost uses. The purity, moisture content and color consistency of the flakes directly affect in which market and for which product they can be used. The more effective the line's separation and washing stages are, the wider the range of uses and the higher the price the resulting flakes command.

Turnkey: a single engineering responsibility

Because every piece of equipment on the line — from bale opening to drying — is manufactured by İnan Tech and engineered under one roof, the stages work in harmony with one another. The line's capacity, layout plan and level of automation are designed not as the sum of parts, but as an integrated system. Since engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, operator training and after-sales support are all provided under the same roof, the investor works with a single point of contact and responsibility is not fragmented.

The information on this page is for general information purposes only; the line's capacity, layout and configuration are determined according to the project, the raw material structure and your objectives. For details, you can contact İnan Tech.

Frequently Asked Questions

About this page

What stages does a PET bottle recycling line consist of?
A typical PET line consists of bale opening, pre-separation, crushing, hot washing, friction washing, label/cap separation by sink-float, and mechanical drying. The output is clean PET flakes.
Is the line installed on a turnkey basis?
Yes. We handle project design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning under one roof; the layout is designed according to your project.
Are the resulting flakes of bottle-to-bottle quality?
Depending on the intensity of washing and separation, high-purity PET flakes are obtained. We determine together the equipment selection suited to your target quality.
