Description
The Petalus PTF series are stainless steel made float tanks that are suitable for sorting small plastic bulk materials by flotation. Once inside the tank, the material is pushed forwards through rotating shovels, and downwards through rotating drums. Plastic materials that float like PE/PP, stay on the water surface, while other that doesn’t float like PET, sink. Material is collected from the bottom of the tank by means of two screw conveyors (one horizontal and one vertical), and the floating material is pushed from the surface out of the tank, and compressed by means of a compacting screw conveyor.
Another application of this machine is rinsing material after a washing stage, to get rid of the detergent and dirt remains.
The Petalus PTF series have an special design so the flowing of the water inside the tank is slow. That makes them provide higher separation ratios.
