• **Operational Do’s and Don’ts****Frequently Asked Questions**
• Optimal Detergent: Use specialized biodegradable detergents formulated for plastic recycling to avoid damaging the machinery or leaving harmful residues.
• Load Management: Avoid overloading the conveyor and washers. Feed material consistently and at the recommended rate.
• Water Management: Monitor water quality, temperature, and pH levels in wash tanks for optimal cleaning and to prevent scaling or biological growth.
• Routine Checks: Before each shift, perform visual inspections for leaks, unusual noises, or wear on components like blades and bearings.

Essential Maintenance for Longevity

Proactive maintenance prevents costly downtime:

• Daily: Flush the system with clean water after shutdown. Inspect and clean filters.
• Weekly: Check and tighten all bolts and fittings. Inspect wear parts like friction washer blades.
• Monthly: Lubricate bearings and moving parts as per the manufacturer’s manual. Inspect electrical connections.
• Annually: Schedule a comprehensive inspection by a qualified technician, potentially from Rumtoo Machine, to assess the entire system.

Operational Do’s and Don’ts

Do’s	Don’ts
Do pre-sort materials rigorously.	Don’t ignore unusual vibrations or noises.
Do use recommended plastic cleaning agents.	Don’t use harsh chemicals not approved by the manufacturer.
Do follow the prescribed maintenance schedule.	Don’t attempt complex repairs without proper training.
Do monitor water and energy consumption.	Don’t exceed the machine’s stated capacity.

The selection of equipment depends on the type and volume of wood waste being processed, as well as the desired end products. Wood recycling equipment not only supports environmental sustainability but also contributes to the circular economy by transforming waste into valuable resources.

Q: What is the average water consumption for a standard plastic washing line?
**A:** Water usage varies significantly based on the machine’s size, design (re-circulating systems are more efficient), and material contamination. Modern, efficient lines can recycle up to 90% of their process water. Consult with Rumtoo Machine for specifics on our water-saving models.

Q: Can one washing line handle different types of plastic?
**A:** While possible, it often requires process adjustments (water temperature, detergent dosage, cycle time) and potentially partial cleaning between batches to prevent cross-contamination. For processing vastly different materials (e.g., film and rigid containers), dedicated lines are often recommended for optimal quality and efficiency.

Q: How do I troubleshoot poor cleaning results?
**A:** Common causes include incorrect water temperature, inadequate detergent concentration, overloaded machines, or worn-out components. Systematically check these parameters and consult your machine’s manual or contact support. Rumtoo Machine support.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of a well-maintained plastic washing machine?
**A:** With proper operation, regular maintenance, and timely replacement of wear parts, a high-quality machine from a reputable manufacturer like [Manufacturer Name] can last well over 10 years. Rumtoo Machine can last well over 10 years.
