Air Separator for Plastic Recycling Machines

Air separators play a crucial role in plastic recycling, particularly in removing lightweight contaminants like paper and cardboard from HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. These machines are an integral part of recycling lines, ensuring that the recycled plastic is free from impurities, thus improving the quality of the final product.

How Does an Air Separator Work?

The Working Principle

When mixed material streams enter the air separator from the top, a high-velocity air stream is directed at the falling material. This air stream effectively separates lighter materials, such as paper and small cardboard pieces, from the heavier plastic materials. The lighter contaminants are blown away and collected by an extraction hood, while the heavier plastic material remains unaffected by the air stream and falls onto the conveyor belt below.

This process is highly efficient and essential in ensuring that only pure plastic materials are processed further in the recycling line. By removing contaminants early in the recycling process, the air separator helps prevent damage to other recycling equipment and reduces the need for additional cleaning and processing steps.

Műszaki adatok

To cater to different recycling needs, air separators come in various models with distinct technical specifications:

Modell	Feeding Belt Width	Air Inlet Diameter	Fan Motor Power
FX7000	1400mm	300mm	15KW
FX8000	1400mm	400mm	22KW

Additional Features

• CE Certification: Ensuring compliance with European safety and environmental standards.
• Customization: Larger and more powerful models are available upon request to meet specific recycling requirements.

Applications in HDPE & PET Bottle Recycling

In HDPE and PET bottle recycling lines, air separators are indispensable for removing lightweight contaminants early in the process. This ensures that the plastic material that moves forward in the recycling line is clean and free of unwanted materials. By effectively separating paper and cardboard from the heavier plastic, the air separator contributes to a higher quality recycled product.
