How to Recycle Beverage Bottles with Liquid Inside

Expired, rejected, or damaged beverage bottles and cans may still contain liquid, making them difficult to handle with conventional dry recycling equipment. Instead of emptying each container manually, a shredder with a liquid separation system can open and reduce the containers while separating the released liquid from the solid packaging.

Shredding Liquid Filled Bottles with Liquid Separation
The process begins when liquid-filled plastic bottles and aluminum cans are fed directly into the shredder. The cutting system opens the containers and reduces them to smaller pieces, while collecting and discharging the released liquid separately. The solid material can then continue to downstream recycling processes for plastic or aluminum recovery.

This approach is particularly useful for expired beverages, returned products, production rejects, and unsold inventory. By combining shredding and solid-liquid separation in one process, it reduces manual handling and provides a more controlled way to prepare liquid-filled containers for recycling.

The system can be configured according to the type of bottles or cans, liquid content, processing capacity, and required downstream recycling process. For operations handling large quantities of liquid-filled beverage containers, it provides a practical solution for both size reduction and solid-liquid separation.
