Key Features & Pioneering Benefits
Masterfully separates lightweight contaminants (labels, paper, film fragments, dust) from heavier plastic fractions through precisely controlled, cascading air circulation for optimal stratification and removal.
Ideally suited for processing a vast range of materials including PET flakes, HDPE/PP regrind, mixed plastic streams, and e-waste plastics.
Ensures meticulous, uniform air distribution for optimized and consistent contaminant separation, crucial for achieving high purity targets.
Operates in a clean air return mode for virtually dust-free operation, essential for handling plastic fines and maintaining a cleaner, safer processing environment.
Processes extracted light contaminants and dust separately, significantly boosting the purity of the recovered plastic and simplifying waste handling.
Ingeniously designed with no internal rotating parts in the separation chamber, guaranteeing extended operational life, minimal wear and tear, and significantly reduced upkeep.
Empowers operators to fine-tune air pressure and separation parameters for diverse plastic types, particle sizes, and contaminant loads.
Intelligently designed to minimize power consumption while maximizing separation efficiency and throughput, contributing to lower operational costs.
Functions effectively and reliably across varied material inputs and ambient conditions typically found in recycling plants.
The Science Behind the Separation
The Energycle Zig Zag Air Classifier employs a sophisticated interplay of precisely controlled air crossflows and multi-stage separation within its vertical chambers to artfully distinguish and remove lighter contaminants from the heavier, valuable plastic fractions.
A Glimpse into the Step-by-Step Plastic Purification Process:
- Optimized Material Intake & Initial Stratification: Recycled plastic material (e.g., flakes, regrind) is introduced into the zig-zag air classifier, where it’s managed for even distribution, preparing it for the multi-stage air separation.
- Dynamic Multi-Crossflow Air Separation: A precisely calibrated symphony of controlled airflows gently lifts and channels lighter contaminants (paper, labels, dust, fines, some film types) upwards, while the heavier, cleaner plastic fractions gracefully descend through the zig-zag channels.
- Enhanced Cyclone Contaminant Collection: The separated lighter fraction, entrained in the air, is conveyed to an efficient cyclone system. This unit effectively captures and separates these fine particles, dust, and lightweight fibrous contaminants from the airstream, allowing for their clean removal.
- Adaptive Recirculation & Suction Control: Operators can seamlessly adjust airflow settings, often opting for closed-loop air recirculation to minimize energy use and dust emission, or partial air exchange depending on the application.
Versatile Applications in Plastic Recycling
PET Bottle Recycling
Efficiently removes residual labels, cap fragments (if lighter), and fines from PET flakes.
Post-Consumer & Post-Industrial Plastic Purification
Cleans HDPE, PP, and other rigid plastic regrinds by removing paper, dust, and other light foreign materials.
