Del Monterrey originally had a piece of locally-made equipment, which is similar to a pulverizer. After the bottle is thrown in, it will be simply pulverized to make the liquid flow out. However, this kind of machine has low water removal efficiency and productivity, and the processed bottles are not compressed, which still occupies a lot of space, resulting in high transportation costs. With the business development of the company, the current capacity of the equipment can no longer meet the demand, so Del Monterrey wants to find a more efficient machine for processing this kind of waste bottle.

Del Monterrey discovered GREENMAX through an online search while looking for a more efficient bottle recycling solution. After reviewing the company's processing requirements, GREENMAX team recommended bottle dewatering machine P-C350 and shared relevant applications from beverage and food processing facilities. Del Monterrey also compared several alternative machines on the market. After evaluating performance, functionality, and overall cost, the company determined that GREENMAX solution best matched its needs and placed an order within two weeks.

Currently, Del Monterrey is very satisfied with the GREENMAX bottle dewatering machine. It runs the machine for 8 hours a day and processes a truck (53 feet) with a total of 48 trailers (1 towed 1440 bottles) of waste PET bottled beverages, 90% of which is 500ml bottles, 10% of 1L beverage bottles, and a small amount of 4L bottles. According to Del Monterrey's feedback, due to the impact of the epidemic, the amount of beverage bottle waste that can be received from the terminal has been reduced, so the bottle dewatering machine is not running at full capacity. If there are enough waste bottles that can be received every day, the bottle dewatering machine can process 2-3 trucks a day, greatly improving the processing efficiency and reducing their operating costs.

pet bottle recycling

At present, PET bottle recycling in the Mexican market is very hot. Coca-Cola and PETSTAR have been promoting PET bottle recycling in Mexico, so the local demand for PET bottle recycling is also very strong. Del Monterrey is also continuing to discuss cooperation with the factories in other states of these bottled water manufacturers. In the future, it may require 2-3 units of bottle dewatering machines to further expand the PET bottle recycling business.


FAQ

A PET bottle dewatering machine separates residual liquid from discarded bottles and prepares the material for more efficient storage, transportation, and further recycling.

2. Why did the Mexican recycler replace its existing equipment?
The previous equipment had limited dewatering efficiency and capacity, while the processed bottles remained bulky. A more efficient solution was needed to handle growing volumes and reduce transportation costs.

3. How does bottle dewatering improve PET recycling?
Removing residual liquid and reducing the bulk of discarded bottles can improve handling efficiency, reduce transportation pressure, and prepare PET bottles for subsequent recycling processes.
