INCOME is a
high-tech manufacturing and circular economy enterprise, devoted to waste
plastic recycling and the application of recycled plastics. 100,000 tons of
plastic are recycled by INCOME annually. This customer has several PET
pelletizing lines in Malaysia. As China
no longer imports PET bottle bales and rPET flakes, they invested in this PET
recycling factory in Malaysia. Under this project, they ordered a 7000 KG/H PET
bottle washing line from BoReTech, it will increase 50,000 tons of PET flakes
output annually, specializing in the production of high-end spinning chips,
food-grade rPET pellets, sheet, and so on.
This project
equipment adopted BoReTech’s food-grade PET bottle washing line which is
equipped with European optical sorting machines for selecting PET bottles and
flakes. Control system is an IAS system developed by BoReTech. More than 50% of
wastewater can be recycled by an in-line water treatment system. The whole process
can not only recycle transparent PET bottles but also can collect sub-products
like color bottles, caps, and PET fines. The process design is available for
the complex condition of PET bottles, which maximizes the value of
sub-products.
The installation and
commissioning work under this project encountered the COVID-19, All BoReTech
staff gave 100% support to the customer. Although the progress was delayed due
to this situation, the PET bottle washing line is expected to start production
around the second half of 2020.
