Zig-Zag Air Classifier

Our unique Zig-Zag Air Classifier emerges as a beacon of efficiency in separating lightweight contaminants from heavier plastics, a task it performs with remarkable effectiveness, especially in our PET bottle recycling lines. Beyond mere separation, this machine also contributes significantly towards partially drying the material stream, demonstrating a multifaceted utility.

Description

Working Principle

The essence of the Zig-Zag Air Classifier lies in its ingenious use of air as the separation medium. The mixed material stream is introduced into a sorting chamber where a column of rising air awaits. As the materials mingle and ascend with the gust of air, a separation saga unfolds. The lighter objects, such as paper and plastic labels, find themselves being whisked away through a top exit, while the heavier plastics obediently descend to make their exit through the bottom.

The design might seem simple, but the mechanics are precise, ensuring a seamless separation process that is crucial for the recycling journey of PET bottles and other materials. The air classifier diagram showcases a simplistic yet efficient design that carries out the task of separation and partial drying with commendable efficacy.

Benefits

  • Effective Separation: The Zig-Zag Air Classifier stands as a guardian against contaminants, effectively separating lightweight impurities from the heavier plastics, ensuring a cleaner material stream for subsequent processing.
  • Partial Drying: Beyond separation, the air classifier also lends a hand in partially drying the material stream, a feature that enhances the readiness of the materials for the next stages of recycling.
  • Versatile Applications: Although a stalwart in PET bottle recycling, the air classifier’s utility extends to other realms where material streams necessitate separation by weight.
  • Space-Efficient Design: The compact design of the air classifier ensures it fits well within your recycling setup without demanding much space, yet delivering optimal separation results.
