- Materials for Construction: Inquire about the type of stainless steel used in parts that interact with water, as well as its thickness and the type of metal used for framing and supports.
As plastic recycling machines comprise numerous parts, detailed technical specifications should be reviewed. Request comprehensive specifications and diagrams from the supplier. If a company cannot promptly provide this information, it may indicate they are not a manufacturer but rather a trading entity.
Experienced importers choose to work directly with factories to benefit from customized features and technical support, which is one area where Benk Machinery excels.
2. Quality, Safety Standards, and Certifications
Most nations enforce quality standards for imported goods, including machinery. In the European Union, for instance, the CE marking certifies that a product adheres to specific health, safety, and environmental standards.
Additionally, ISO International Standards ensure a product's reliability and safety. As an importer of a PE film washing line, it's your responsibility to verify that the machine complies with all standards relevant to your region or country. Noncompliance may lead to recalls, fines, or goods being confiscated.
Choosing to work with Benk means you can rest easy knowing that our products meet both CE and ISO standards, qualifying them for markets across the Americas, Africa, Europe, Russia, and Asia.
3. Ensure Full Testing of the Washing Line Before Shipment
While suppliers often make claims, verifying that the machine meets your expectations before it ships is critical. If you're purchasing a new machine, it should be entirely new and undergo complete functional testing.
This process involves assembling components and running tests that simulate full production. During these tests, factory engineers should address any minor issues that arise.
Select a supplier willing to conduct thorough trials on all machines. At Benk, we conduct rigorous testing and typically invite clients to witness the machine in operation before shipment.

Chapter 2: Introducing Benk's PE Film Washing Line
Curious about the operation of a PE film washing plant?
The PE film washing line consists of numerous components, all designed to perform basic tasks: washing, grinding, and drying.
When a plastic film is used, it often becomes contaminated. For example, agricultural shade plastic typically has soil particles when received at the recycling plant.
Any material that is not plastic is considered a contaminant, including soil, metal fragments, rocks, and even dead insects.
For effective washing, PP and PE films must be shredded into smaller flakes. These flakes undergo multi-stage washing before being dried.
Some lines may consume around two tons of water per hour during the recycling process.
2.1 Parts of the PE Film Washing Line
The workflow for the washing line includes:
Conveying → Crushing with water → Screw Feeding → High-Speed Frictional Washing → Dewatering → Thermal Drying with Hot Air
This sequence shows the function of each machine involved, starting with conveying through a conveyor.
2.1.1 Feeding Station
Plastics arrive at the factory in bales or bundles secured by metal straps or ropes.
Some companies specialize in waste plastic film collection, while others may rely on imports.
Bales must be dismantled before feeding into a conveyor that moves the waste PP PE films to the crusher. Hiring labor to manually dismantle bales may be cost-effective in regions with lower labor costs.
2.1.2 Conveyor Belt
The conveyor belt transports PE films to the crusher. Options for lengths include five or six meters, with diameters of 500mm, 600mm, or 800mm, and adjustable speeds of 2-6 meters per minute.
2.1.3 Washing Unit - Crusher
The crusher, often referred to as the granulator, reduces large PE films into smaller fragments. Main components include:
- Main Shaft
- Water Nozzles
- Stationary Knives
- Rotary Knives
- Screen Filter
- Motor (to drive the rotating shaft)
The uncut plastic films from the conveyor fall onto the rotating shaft, where they are shredded. Water is sprayed during this process to act as a lubricant and remove some contaminants.
2.1.4 Screw Loader
The screw loader conveys crushed flakes to the next machine in the process. It is equipped with a rotating helical screw that pushes the plastic flakes upward.
2.1.5 High-Speed Frictional Washing Machine
This machine operates using a principle akin to a top-load washing machine, utilizing rotation and tumbling action to dislodge contaminants from the plastic flakes.
2.1.6 Floating Washing Tank
The floating tank utilizes density differences: lighter materials float while denser materials sink, allowing effective separation of contaminants from the washed film.
2.1.7 Dewatering Machine
This machinery utilizes two drying systems to eliminate excess moisture from the washed films.
2.1.8 Thermal Drying System
Utilized post-mechanical drying, the thermal system removes residual moisture through hot air blown through plastic flakes.
2.1.9 Storage Hopper/Silo
Once dry, flakes can be stored in bulk or directed into a silo for a pelletizing line.
