Sink-Float Separation Tank for PET Recycling
Efficiently separate PET flakes from PP/PE contaminants with Rumtoo’s advanced water-based technology.
The sink-float separation tank is a cornerstone of efficient material recycling, designed to segregate materials based on their density. In Рециклажа ПЕТ флаша, this technology excels at separating valuable PET flakes from contaminants like plastic bottle caps, typically made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE). By leveraging water’s natural density, Rumtoo’s separation tank ensures high-purity PET output, streamlining the recycling process for maximum efficiency.
How It Works
Rumtoo’s sink-float separation tank harnesses the principle of density-based separation. With water’s density at 1 g/cm³, materials denser than water, like PET plastic, sink to the tank’s bottom, while lighter materials, such as PP/PE bottle caps, float to the surface. This process ensures precise separation, critical for high-quality PET recycling.
The tank features rotating drums that guide floating contaminants to a storage silo for easy collection. Meanwhile, screw conveyors at the tank’s base efficiently transport sunken PET flakes to the next stage of processing, ensuring a seamless workflow.
Техничке спецификације
Designed for durability and performance, Rumtoo’s sink-float separation tank is built to handle demanding recycling environments. The tank’s interior and rotating drums are crafted from Type 304 stainless steel, offering superior resistance to rust and corrosion. For optimal separation, materials soak in water for an extended period, ensuring thorough cleaning and complete settling of PET flakes.
Available in standard 4-meter and extended 6-meter configurations, the tank accommodates various throughput needs, making it a versatile solution for PET recycling facilities.
