Machine and method for continuously washing containers made of plastic material, and removal of contaminants and labels from their surface

摘要

A machine and a method are described for washing and removal, in a continuous manner, of contaminants and labels from plastic containers made of recyclable material. During washing, the containers pass inside a washing chamber and are subject to a high level of friction caused by an agitator rotating at high speed. Tearing means are also provided to facilitate detachment of the contaminants from the surface of the containers.
