In the plastic recycling industry, handling defective shampoo bottles has long been a challenge for many personal care companies. Unlike regular beverage bottles, shampoo bottles contain liquids that are highly viscous and have low fluidity. Using traditional methods to separate the liquid from the packaging is inefficient, often leaving residues inside the bottles and leading to resource waste.
To address this, GREENMAX has specially upgraded and optimized its plastic dewatering machine. Even when dealing with high-viscosity liquids such as shampoo and shower gel, the machine can efficiently separate and compact the materials. It automatically discharges the liquid inside the bottles for centralized collection and then performs dewatering and compaction, significantly reducing the bottle volume and cutting storage and transportation costs.
When defective products enter the machine, the screw continuously presses the bottles, gradually separating the liquid from the containers. As the screw moves forward, the bottles reach the liquid separation zone, which consists of a perforated barrel and screw. The discharged shampoo flows through the perforations into a stainless-steel collection tray below. This tray is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, capable of withstanding the low pH levels of various liquids. After the dewatering and compaction process, the bottles are conveyed to an upward-sloping discharge chute, ensuring complete separation of the container from the residual liquid.
What’s more, GREENMAX already has a proven case: we provided a customized solution for L’Oréal in Egypt, helping them successfully achieve shampoo bottle recycling. Since installation, the equipment has significantly improved processing efficiency, effectively solved the challenge of separating bottles from residual liquids, and reduced operational costs.
Currently, this plastic dewatering machine runs stably at L’Oréal. By operating it on a regular monthly basis, shampoo bottles, shower gel bottles, and other defective containers are efficiently separated and processed. The extracted liquid is discharged through pipelines to a designated area, while the bottles re-enter the recycling stream for reuse. This not only ensures proper handling of defective products but also enables material recycling.
