Washing pools is used in plastic waste washing such as bottles (PET), film (pre-cut in a guillotine) etc. Other application is also the treatment of the sinking fraction of the float/sink-process.   The washing is caused by injected water and the mutual friction of the plastic particles. Axial rotating screw prevent the plastic particles to stick to the side walls of the drum.

The process is that the material is loaded from the top and after the washing cycle discharged. The residual humidity is about 20 % so that the material must be dried.

The washing water is discharged through the bottom of the drum. A sieve separates the material from the residues of the washing process. The water is recirculated through filter set which is cleaned periodically.
