MC 6.5 plastic washing and separation system COMPLETE WITH WORKING SCREW

A plastic washing plant is designed to clean and separate different types of plastic, removing contaminants such as dirt, oil, inks and other impurities. Here is an overview of the materials used, main manufacturers, advantages, operation, types and convenience of a plastic washing system:

### Used materials

Plastic washing plants can be constructed using a combination of materials depending on the specifics of the application and environmental conditions. Some common materials include:

- **Stainless steel**: Used for parts exposed to water and chemicals, to ensure corrosion resistance and durability.
- **Carbon steel**: Used for structural parts and components that require strength and solidity.
- **Plastic materials**: Used for non-structural parts and components that may come into contact with plastics during washing.

### Main Manufacturers

The main manufacturers of plastic washing systems include:

1. **Herbold Meckesheim**: Provides complete plants for plastic recycling, including washing and separation systems.
   
2. **Vecoplan**: Offers advanced solutions for plastic recycling, including efficient and technologically advanced washing plants.
   
3. **Erema**: Specializing in advanced systems for the treatment and recycling of plastics, including plastic washing systems.
   
4. **Sorema**: Designs and builds complete plastic recycling plants, including high-efficiency washing systems.
   
5. **B+B Anlagenbau**: Offers customized solutions for the treatment of plastics, including washing systems for various applications.

### Advantages of a Plastic Washing System

1. **Waste Reduction**: Helps reduce the volume of plastic waste sent to landfills.
   
2. **Resource Recovery**: Allows the recovery and recycling of plastics, reducing dependence on virgin raw materials.
   
3. **Regulatory Compliance**: Helps companies comply with environmental regulations and regulatory requirements for the treatment of plastics.
   
4. **Energy Efficiency**: Some systems can be designed to improve energy efficiency, reducing operating costs.

### How a Plastic Washing System Works

- **Feeding Phase**: Post-consumer or post-industrial plastics are fed into the plant.
  
- **Crushing and Cleaning Phase**: Plastics are crushed into small pieces and then cleaned to remove contaminants such as inks, oils and other residues.
  
- **Separation Phase**: Clean plastics are separated based on type and quality for subsequent recycling.

### Types of Plastic Washing Systems

1. **Wet Systems**: They use water and detergents to remove contaminants from plastics.
   
2. **Dry Plants**: Use mechanical processes without the use of water, ideal for certain types of plastic and applications.

### Why it is better to buy a used plastic washing system

Purchasing a used plastic washing system can be advantageous for several reasons:

- **Reduced Costs**: Used systems are generally cheaper than new ones.
   
- **Immediate Availability**: They can be available immediately, without waiting times for the production or delivery of a new one.
   
- **Sustainability**: Contributes to environmental sustainability by recycling plastics instead of disposing of them.
   
- **Functionality Test**: It is possible to test the used system to verify its ability to work to the required specifications before purchasing.

Before purchasing a used plastic washer, it is important to evaluate its current condition, maintenance history, and compatibility with your company's specific plastics recycling needs. Be sure to perform a thorough inspection and functionality testing to ensure optimal efficiency and durability over time.
