💡 Optimised, Space-Saving Design
Our triple-row configuration delivers triple the separation power within a footprint comparable to traditional single tanks, maximising your space and resource utilisation.
💰 Cost-Effective Operation
With improved efficiency and higher throughput, the Triple-Row Sink Float Separation Tank reduces operational costs and enhances your return on investment.
How It Works: Transforming Waste Plastic into Valuable Raw Material
The working mechanism is both innovative and efficient. Our Triple-Row Sink Float Separation Tank intuitively guides plastic materials through a multi-stage purification process:
1. Material Infeed & Propulsion
A large, powerful motor drives three top screws, which continuously push the mixed plastic material forward along the length of the tank.
2. Initial Contaminant Filtration
Under these screws, a mesh screen is strategically placed to filter out small contaminants, ensuring that only the plastic materials move forward for separation.
3. Triple-Row Separation Path
The key to efficiency: unlike traditional tanks, this advanced model is split into three distinct rows. This design allows the material to travel three times the distance, providing ample time for the plastic to soak, separate based on density (sink/float), and clean thoroughly.
4. Purified Material Output
The extended washing period is crucial for removing stubborn contaminants, resulting in a higher purity of separated plastic, ready for reuse as a valuable raw material.
This advanced process allows the material to travel three times the distance of a conventional tank, ensuring maximum purification.
In-Depth Features & Technical Specifications
Key Component Functions
- Powerful Drive System: A robust motor and gearbox assembly ensures consistent and reliable operation, driving three heavy-duty top screws for material conveyance.
- Triple Screw Propulsion: These specially designed screws actively transport material through the tank, preventing blockages and ensuring a continuous, even flow.
- Integrated Mesh Screen Filtration: Strategically positioned beneath the screws to efficiently remove fine particles and small contaminants at an early stage in the process.
- Multi-Row Tank Configuration: The tank’s internal structure is intelligently divided, compelling materials along an extended path for superior soaking, agitation, and density-based separation.
- Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Fabricated from high-quality materials (e.g., SS304 stainless steel or specially treated carbon steel) for longevity and resilience in demanding industrial environments.
- Designed for Accessibility & Maintenance: Thoughtful design considerations allow for easy access for routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance, thereby minimising operational downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What types of plastic can the Triple-Row Sink Float Separation Tank process?
This tank is highly versatile and engineered to effectively separate a wide array of rigid and film plastics based on their densities. Common examples include PET, HDPE, PP, LDPE, PS, and ABS, among others. It is particularly adept at handling mixed plastic streams with varying levels and types of contamination.
Q: How does its performance compare to traditional single-row sink-float tanks?
The Triple-Row design offers a substantial enhancement in performance. By extending the material’s travel distance and effective soak/agitation time threefold within a comparable physical footprint, it achieves significantly higher separation purity and operational efficiency. This is especially beneficial for materials that are traditionally difficult to clean or separate effectively in a single pass through a conventional tank.
Q: What is the typical maintenance schedule for this equipment?
Routine maintenance typically includes daily operational checks of key moving parts (motors, screws), periodic cleaning of the tank interior and mesh screens (frequency is dependent on the level of contamination in processed materials), and regular lubrication as per the detailed operational manual provided with the equipment. We supply a comprehensive maintenance schedule and can also offer tailored service contracts to support your operations.
Q: Can this system be integrated into an existing plastic recycling line?
Absolutely. The Triple-Row Sink Float Separation Tank is designed with modularity in mind, allowing for seamless integration into both new and existing plastic recycling lines. Our technical team can work with you to assess your current setup and advise on the optimal method of integration to enhance your overall plant workflow and efficiency.
