Floating Tank Plastic Washer

The Floating Tank Plastic Washer, also known as a Sink-Float Separation Tank, is an essential component in plastic recycling lines, utilizing the principle of density separation to effectively sort different plastic types and remove heavy contaminants. Operating primarily with water, this robust, often stainless steel, machine ensures that low-density plastics like Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) labels and caps float to the surface for collection by rotating paddles, while high-density materials such as PET flakes, PVC, glass, and heavy dirt sink to the tank's bottom, where they are moved out by a screw conveyor for continuous, high-purity material output.
