How the AirWash System Works for Material Dedusting and Recycling
The AirWash system offers an innovative approach to material separation and cleaning, critical for facilities seeking to maximize the quality of recycled plastic. By removing unwanted fines and dust, the AirWash enhances material cleanliness and boosts the value of reprocessed plastics.
As resin prices rise and recycling gains importance, the AirWash system provides an efficient and economical solution for handling plastic regrind. This aspiration-based dedusting system uses a two-step cleaning process to achieve precision separation:
- Cyclone Separation: Material enters the separation cyclone, where air vortexes clean the plastic regrind, removing fines and impurities.
- Cascade Cleaning: In the cascade section, material falls by gravity through adjustable vacuum slots, ensuring thorough cleaning.
Once processed, the clean regrind can be reintroduced directly into the production line, making the AirWash system ideal for in-house recycling and consistent, high-quality material output.
Compatible Materials for the AirWash Dedusting System
The AirWash system is versatile and supports a wide range of plastic materials commonly used in industrial applications. Examples include:
- PP
- PET
- PE
- HDPE
- Nylon
- Fibers
- ABS
- Carpet
- Rubber
- Acrylics
- Polystyrene
- and more
