3.Label Separation Unit
Shrink sleeve labels on PET bottles are one of the most challenging impurities to handle in a PET bottle recycling line. Boxin’s label removal system features a large-diameter cutting rotor with low-speed rotation, enabling high-efficiency label stripping without damaging the bottle body. This greatly enhances both the cleaning performance and purity of the final PET flakes.
Key Features:
Patented Rotor Design:
The large-diameter, low-speed blade rotor precisely cuts and separates shrink labels while avoiding cracks or damage to the bottle structure.
Integrated Label Collection System:
A built-in air-blown conveyor system collects stripped labels efficiently. Collected labels can be resold as a by-product, adding value to the process.
Optional Module:
If your PET feedstock consists of pre-cleaned bottles with no labels, this unit can be skipped as per production needs.
Recommended Applications:
Processing lines with a high ratio of shrink-labeled bottles, especially with PVC content.
Food-grade PET recycling operations where flake cleanliness is a top priority.
Enterprises aiming to improve flake color clarity and reduce impurity levels.

4: Manual Sorting Unit
While optical sorting systems offer a high level of automation, manual sorting remains essential for catching what machines might miss. This module serves as a final quality control checkpoint before the crushing process. It works in conjunction with metal detection equipment and manual inspection platforms to remove any remaining off-color bottles, multilayer bottles, or metal contaminants that escape automated sorting.
Key Features:
Fills in Optical Sorting Blind Spots
Manual inspectors can identify subtle color variations, label residues, and foreign bottles that automated systems may overlook.
Integrated Metal Detection System
A fully automated flip-gate metal separator detects and removes bottles containing hidden metals in real time, preventing equipment damage and downstream contamination.
Ergonomic Steel Platform Design
The platform is built with worker safety and comfort in mind, making it easy to operate, clean, and maintain—suitable for high-throughput environments.
High-Capacity Buffer System
Helps stabilize feed flow in large-scale production lines by buffering incoming materials and compensating for supply fluctuations.
Recommended Applications:
Ideal for regions with lower labor costs or facilities that can allocate staff for manual re-sorting.
Used as a final inspection step to complement optical sorting systems.
Strongly recommended for food-grade or filament-grade recycling operations that demand maximum flake purity.

5: Crushing Unit
The crushing unit is responsible for reducing whole PET bottles into uniform-sized flakes, preparing the material for deep cleaning. Boxin adopts a wet crushing method, where cleaning water is injected during the granulation process. This not only helps remove surface contaminants but also controls temperature and prevents dust and thermal sticking, easing the burden on downstream washing modules.
Key Features:
Wet Crushing with Integrated Cleaning
Water is injected during the crushing process to enable pre-cleaning, dust suppression, and anti-melting—resulting in cleaner, more stable PET flakes.
High Shear Efficiency Design
The cutting chamber uses a scientifically optimized combination of rotating and fixed blades, ensuring smooth, high-throughput cutting with minimal backflow or clogging.
Reinforced Main Shaft
Built with heat-treated alloy steel, the main shaft is engineered to withstand continuous heavy-duty operation without risk of fracture.
Sealed Cutting Chamber
Designed with a tight sealing structure to prevent material leakage and maintain a clean, safe working environment.
Long-Lasting Wear-Resistant Blades
Equipped with cryogenically treated D2 blades, capable of processing over 800 tons of PET material per set with consistent performance.
Noise Reduction by Design
Integrated soundproofing features reduce operational noise for a safer and more comfortable workplace.
Recommended Applications:
Essential unit in all PET washing lines.
Suitable for PET, HDPE, and PP recycling lines requiring flake size reduction.
Ideal for industrial users who prioritize dust control, blade durability, and low maintenance frequency.
Recommended for operations seeking to reduce energy consumption and minimize blade replacement cycles.

6: Sink-Float Separation Unit
The sink-float separation unit operates based on the natural density differences among plastics like PET (~1.3g/cm³), PP, and HDPE. In water, PET sinks while PP/HDPE fragments—typically from caps and neck rings—float to the surface. This process enables the efficient physical separation of mixed plastics without the use of chemicals, ensuring an eco-friendly and stable operation.
Key Features:
Accurate Density-Based Separation
Utilizes a fully physical process without chemical additives, delivering environmentally sustainable and highly reliable separation performance.
Modular System Design
Scalable structure allows single-stage or multi-stage configuration based on production capacity, making it easy to adapt to varying processing needs.
Automatic Contaminant Discharge
Floating materials (PP/HDPE) are automatically collected and discharged, enhancing separation efficiency while minimizing manual handling.
By-Product Recovery
Separated PP and HDPE materials can be recycled or sold as secondary raw materials, increasing the marginal economic value of the recycling line.
Corrosion-Resistant Build
Key components are made from stainless steel or coated with anti-rust materials to withstand long-term wet operation conditions.
Recommended Applications:
For PET recycling operations requiring non-chemical separation of bottle fragments and labels.
Ideal for lines that process mixed bottle feedstock and seek to maximize yield and purity.
Suitable for facilities interested in secondary material recovery and value-added by-product management.
