Friction Screw Washer Machine

Energycle Friction Washer: High-Efficiency Plastic Cleaning Solution

The Energycle Friction Washer is a crucial piece of equipment in the plastic recycling process, expertly designed to rigorously clean plastic materials (including films, sheets, and pellets) and effectively remove moisture. These robust cylindrical machines operate using a tilted high-speed screw, demonstrating exceptional efficiency in cleaning materials by thoroughly removing dirt, grease, and other unwanted contaminants. Fine powders and water are efficiently separated from the grinding materials by the friction washer, which is protected by a durable stainless steel screen. Raw materials are fed into the machine from the bottom, undergo intensive cleaning, and are discharged from the top outlet, ensuring a highly purified final product ready for the next stage of recycling.

Key Advantages of Energycle Friction Washers

The primary advantages of our friction washers lie in their efficient contaminant removal capabilities and low maintenance requirements. This makes them an ideal choice for businesses aiming to reduce operational costs while achieving optimal results in the plastic recycling process.

• Wear-resistant steel blades for extended operational life.
• Dynamically balanced rotors ensure smooth and stable performance.
• Isolated bearing housings to prevent water ingress and ensure durability even under harsh working conditions.

Working Principle

The Energycle Friction Screw Washer Machine houses a rotor within, adorned with many slanted paddles. As this rotor spins at a high speed, typically ranging between 500-600 RPM, it causes the plastic stream inside to scrub against each other vigorously. During this intense friction process, water is continuously sprayed through the filter nets (dewatering screen). This leads to the complete separation and removal of soil, sand, paper labels, and other contaminants from the plastic materials. The inclined frame assists in the material flow and water drainage.

Features

• Dynamically balanced rotor: Ensuring robust and reliable performance.
• Bag-type screen: Integrated on the drum sidewall enhances drying and cleaning efficiency.
• Heavy-duty welded steel structure: Offering exceptional durability.
• Isolated bearing housing: Design effectively prevents water ingress into the bearings.
• Replaceable rotor & paddles: Simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime.
• High-efficiency cleaning: High-friction effect ensures thorough washing.
• Water-saving design: Optimized water injection manifold reduces consumption.
• Supports batch processing: Improving operational efficiency.
