-Bottle bales are placed into a bale breaker as they arrive at the recycling line. They are subsequently washed in a caustic solution, which is discharged from the flake-washing module and would otherwise be thrown away. The primary impurities are eliminated here, resulting in less machine wear in the procedures that follow.

-Following the pre-washing, manual and automatic sorting occurs. The bottles are then grind into flakes using a wet granulator. After being separated from water and pulp in a centrifuge, the flakes are transferred to a final separation. An air separation is used to remove tiny particles after drying.
