Industrial Plastic Washing Systems for Contaminated Plastic Recycling
Plastic recycling facilities increasingly face a major challenge: contamination in plastic waste streams.
Plastic materials recovered from food processing, waste packaging, anaerobic digestion plants, paint container recycling and industrial processes often contain oils, fats, food residues, labels, adhesives and organic contamination.
Without effective cleaning, these contaminants can make plastic difficult to process, impossible to pelletise and unsuitable for reuse in manufacturing.
Modern plastic washing systems are therefore critical to transforming contaminated plastic waste into clean, recyclable raw material.
Rotajet Systems Ltd designs and manufactures industrial plastic washing machinery in the UK, engineered to remove heavy contamination and improve plastic recyclability for recycling plants worldwide.

Retrofit Plastic Washing Systems into Existing Recycling Plants
Many recycling facilities already operate shredders, granulators or extrusion equipment but struggle with contamination problems.
Rotajet plastic washing systems can be retrofitted into existing recycling plants to improve cleaning performance without replacing the full recycling line.
Typical retrofit upgrades include:
• Installing friction washers
• Adding sink-float separation systems
• Integrating water filtration equipment
• Improving contamination removal stages
This approach allows recycling plants to upgrade material quality while maintaining existing infrastructure.
