Revolutionizing PET Bottle Washing with Advanced Sink Float Technology
In the evolving landscape of plastic recycling, efficiency and contamination removal are paramount. The 2019 Model Sink Float Tank from ASG Machine represents a significant leap forward in washing technology, specifically designed for PET bottle recycling lines. This innovative system combines three washing stages into a single, compact unit, dramatically enhancing processing capability while reducing footprint and operational costs.
Engineered for high-contamination materials, this sink float tank integrates three top screws driven by a powerful motor, ensuring consistent material movement and extended washing duration. The inclusion of an underwater screening system filters out fine contaminants, delivering cleaner output and higher-quality recycled PET flakes.
Technical Specifications and Design Innovation
The 2019 Model Sink Float Tank is built with durability and performance in mind. Key specifications include:
- Triple-Wash Design: Processes material through three distinct stages within one tank, effectively replacing three conventional units.
- Motor Power: A high-torque, energy-efficient motor drives the triple-screw mechanism, ensuring reliable operation under heavy loads.
- Screening System: A submerged screen filters particles as small as 2mm, capturing contaminants that often bypass standard systems.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in variable lengths and widths to fit specific production line layouts and capacity requirements.
- Construction Materials: Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and abrasion-resistant components for long service life.
This design is particularly effective for post-consumer PET bottles, which often carry high levels of contamination from labels, adhesives, dirt, and other residues.
How the Triple-Wash Sink Float Tank Operates
The sink float separation process is critical in PET recycling, as it separates materials based on density. PET sinks while contaminants like PP caps, labels, and other plastics typically float. The 2019 Model enhances this process through its multi-stage approach:
- Primary Washing Stage: As material enters the tank, the first screw agitates and submerges it, allowing initial separation and removal of floating contaminants.
- Secondary Cleaning: The material progresses to the second stage, where further washing and additional contaminant separation occur.
- Final Filtration: In the third stage, the material undergoes a final wash and passes over the submerged screen, removing any remaining fine particles.
This multi-phase process ensures that each PET bottle is thoroughly cleaned, significantly reducing the need for re-processing and improving overall line efficiency.
Advantages Over Conventional Sink Float Tanks
- Space Efficiency: Combining three tanks into one reduces the overall footprint of the washing line, ideal for facilities with limited space.
- Energy Savings: A single motor driving three screws lowers power consumption compared to running three separate units.
- Enhanced Contamination Removal: The extended processing time and integrated screening result in higher purity output.
- Reduced Water Usage: The closed-loop design allows for water recycling within the system, minimizing consumption.
- Ease of Maintenance: Centralized design simplifies access for cleaning and repairs.
