Advanced Sink-Float Separation Tank

Revolutionize your plastics recycling with our re-engineered Triple-Row Sink-Float Tank. This groundbreaking system consolidates the power of three tanks into one, delivering unparalleled purification for even the most contaminated materials.

The Triple-Row Advantage

Our unique design multiplies the effectiveness of the density separation process, setting a new industry standard for purity and efficiency.

Enhanced Efficiency

Triples the material's travel distance and soak time compared to single tanks, ensuring a more thorough and effective separation in a single pass.

Superior Contaminant Removal

The extended washing process aggressively removes stubborn contaminants, yielding a higher purity final product from even heavily soiled materials.

Space-Saving Design

Delivers the separation power of three tanks within the footprint of one, maximizing your valuable production floor space.

Cost-Effective Operation

Higher throughput and superior purity reduce operational costs, minimize material loss, and enhance your return on investment.

How Triple-Row Technology Works

An innovative multi-stage process intuitively guides plastics through an extended purification path.

Material Infeed

Mixed plastic flakes are fed into the tank, where three powerful top screws begin pushing the material forward.

Initial Filtration

A mesh screen beneath the screws immediately filters out small, fine contaminants before the main separation stage.

Triple-Pass Separation

The material travels the length of the tank three times through the distinct rows, maximizing soak time for plastics to separate by density (float vs. sink).

Purified Output

Heavier contaminants are discharged from the bottom, while the clean, floating plastic is conveyed out, ready for the next stage.

Engineered for Durability and Performance

Robust Drive & Propulsion System

A heavy-duty motor and gearbox assembly powers three specially designed auger screws to ensure consistent, blockage-free material conveyance throughout the entire separation process.

Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Construction

Fabricated from high-grade SS304 stainless steel or specially treated carbon steel for exceptional longevity and resilience in demanding, wet industrial environments.

Integrated Filtration

Features a strategically positioned mesh screen to efficiently remove fine particles and small contaminants at the beginning of the process, reducing the load on downstream equipment.

Designed for Easy Maintenance

Thoughtful design with accessible panels and components allows for convenient routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance, minimizing operational downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of plastic can this tank separate?

This tank is highly versatile and separates plastics based on their density in water. It is ideal for separating floating plastics like Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE) from sinking plastics like PET, PVC, and ABS. It also effectively removes heavy contaminants like stones, metal, and glass.

How does this compare to a traditional single-row sink-float tank?

The Triple-Row design offers a significant performance upgrade. By extending the material's travel distance and soak time threefold within a similar footprint, it achieves much higher separation purity, especially for materials with stubborn contamination or those that are difficult to separate in a single pass.

Can this system be integrated into an existing recycling line?

Absolutely. The tank is designed with modularity in mind, allowing for seamless integration into both new and existing plastic washing lines. Our technical team can work with you to ensure it fits perfectly within your current workflow to enhance overall plant efficiency.
