Introduction
In the competitive world of plastic recycling, efficiency and reliability are non-negotiable. The 2018 Model High Speed Friction Washer from ASG Machine stands out as an industry-leading solution for thoroughly cleaning PET flakes. Designed with precision engineering and built for durability, this machine integrates seamlessly into existing washing lines, delivering consistent performance, reduced operational costs, and superior output quality. Whether you’re upgrading your facility or installing a new line, this friction washer is engineered to meet the demands of modern recycling operations.
How the High Speed Friction Washer Works
At the core of the 2018 Model High Speed Friction Washer is an innovative design centered around a high-torque, rapidly rotating shaft equipped with strategically angled paddles. This assembly spins at nearly 1,000 RPM, generating intense friction among PET flakes. This mechanical action, combined with controlled cold-water spray, effectively dislodges contaminants such as dirt, labels, and adhesives.
The machine features a reinforced mesh screen tunnel that encircles the shaft, serving dual purposes: it allows for continuous dewatering and filters out fine particulate matter. Water jets are precisely directed at the screen to prevent clogging and ensure uninterrupted operation. The entire unit is mounted at a 15-degree incline. Material is fed in at the lower end via a vertical feeder and is propelled upward by the rotational force, exiting cleansed at the higher end, ready for the drying phase.
This design not only maximizes cleaning efficiency but also minimizes water and energy usage, supporting sustainable recycling practices.
