PET Flakes Sink-Float Separation Tank
Achieve over 99% purity by effectively separating valuable PET flakes from lighter plastic contaminants like PP and PE from caps and labels.
Engineered for Purity and Performance
Our sink-float tank is a cornerstone technology for any high-quality plastic recycling facility, built for efficiency and longevity.
High-Purity Separation
Utilizes the simple principle of density to achieve exceptional accuracy, resulting in a high-purity, premium-grade final product.
Robusna konstrukcija
Features a high-quality 304 stainless steel interior for superior corrosion resistance and a durable carbon steel frame for operational stability.
Continuous Throughput
Specially designed rotating drums ensure the efficient forward movement of materials, preventing clumping and maximizing processing capacity.
Simple & Efficient
Operates using water as the separation medium, offering a reliable, consistent, and energy-efficient sorting process.
Turn Contamination into Profit
Contamination from caps and labels is the biggest barrier to profitability in PET recycling. Our system is the definitive solution.
Problem: Contaminated PET Flakes
Floating plastics like PP and PE from bottle caps and labels get mixed with PET flakes, drastically reducing the material’s purity and value.
Solution: 99%+ Purity Achieved
Our tank uses water to perfectly separate the materials: heavy PET sinks for collection while lighter PP/PE floats for removal.
Problem: Lower Market Value
Contaminated PET flakes can only be sold into lower-grade markets at a significant discount, limiting your revenue potential.

Često postavljana pitanja
How does the sink-float tank actually work?
The principle is based on material density. When mixed plastic flakes are fed into the water-filled tank, materials denser than water (like PET) sink to the bottom to be collected by a screw conveyor. Materials less dense than water (like PP and PE from caps/labels) float on the surface and are paddled off for separate collection.
Why is 304 stainless steel used for the interior?
Stainless steel is used for all parts that come in contact with water to provide superior resistance to corrosion and rust. This ensures a very long service life and prevents contamination of the plastic flakes with iron oxides (rust), which is critical for maintaining high purity.
Can this system be customized for my specific needs?
Yes. We offer various customization options to meet your specific processing requirements. The interior width and total length of the tank can be adjusted to match the throughput capacity of your existing recycling line, ensuring seamless integration.
