Efficient Separation with the Sink-Float Tank System

a sink-float tank system, which is commonly used in the recycling industry, especially for separating materials based on density. This system typically utilizes a water-filled tank wherein materials such as plastics or metals are submerged. Materials that are denser than water will sink, and those less dense will float, allowing for easy separation. The visible rollers and chain conveyors are part of the mechanism to move materials through the tank, ensuring thorough exposure to the separation process. The robust metallic structure and industrial motors suggest the system is designed to handle large volumes efficiently, making it an essential component in recycling facilities to sort and process various recyclable materials.

Introduction

In the ever-evolving world of plastic recycling, the Sink-Float Tank System stands as a beacon of efficiency and effectiveness. This machine is a cornerstone in PET bottle recycling plants and other recycling applications, offering unparalleled separation of various plastics based on their densities. If you’re looking to streamline your recycling operations, this system is a must-have.

Working Principle

The Sink-Float Tank System utilises water as the medium for separation. As mixed plastic materials enter the tank, those with a density greater than water sink to the bottom, while those with a lower density float to the top. The system is equipped with specially designed rotating drums that help move the plastic pieces forward, ensuring a thorough separation process. Additives can also be introduced to enhance the separation efficiency.
