An Introduction of Friction Washing Machine

 In the recycling business, washing is an imperative step to increase the value of the desired materials. Sink-float tank and friction washing machines are the common means to achieve this goal.

What is Friction Washer Machine?

Friction Washer Machine is used to remove dirt and contaminant from plastic flakes and film.

Working Principle or How it works?

The main components are the large rotor with several arrays of paddles, dewatering screen and cleaning manifold for water injection. The Friction Washer is accumulated on an inclined frame. The basic principle of operation is: the material enters at the lower end of the Friction Washer with vertical in-feed. The fast-rotating shaft and paddles transport up and hit the materials against the screen, just like how a laundry machine works. Dirt and grease are then driven out of the system, and sprayed away by water nozzles. The dirty water and contaminant then discharge at the bottom of the machine. The cleaned materials leave at the top.

Why it is Important?

Wiscon Friction Washer is commonly used in various applications in industrial processes and recycling business. Without it, the end product may contain a high portion of contaminants. As a result, the final value of the end-product is low because it contains sands and grease, both of which are dangerous for palletizing and injection molding.

Features of Friction Washer?

The friction washer is heavy duty and available in various models, featuring.

  • No blockage of materials
  • Cold wash
  • Highly efficient to clean
  • Easy maintenance
  • Rigorously wash plastic materials
  • Compact design comparing water tank

Applications of Friction Washer Machine?

Clean highly contaminated materials or big plastic flakes or plastic films which come from a primary shredder or from a crusher. It excels in cleaning  agricultural films, rigid plastics, and PET, PP, PE, HDPE flakes.

The Composition of Plastic Waste – Latest Analysis Year 2020

Image
  What source of the industry creates most of the plastic waste? There is a huge increase in plastic consumption in our daily lives. Plastic waste can be divided into commercial and industrial wastes. Many of these plastic products are single-used. That is, they are thrown away after one-time usage. For example, disposable plastic packaging, food container, cup, tablecloth and hand gloves are the regular items. The Composition of Plastic Waste: Pre-use and Post-use Plastic Other types of plastic waste include pre-use and post-use plastic. Pre-use plastic is mainly rejected products that do not meet the criteria in terms of size, colour, hardness and other properties. This also includes the byproducts like flesh and sprue during the process of plastic product manufacturing (e.g. molding, blow molding, thermal forming). Post-use plastics include plastic bottles, pails, casing; rigid plastics such as pipes and moldings, plastic foams or expanded polystyrene; and flexible plastics such as

What is ocean plastic pollution?

  Where does the plastic pollution in the ocean come from? What is ocean plastic pollution? Marine pollution is a combination of solid waste and chemicals that originate from the land. With the help of rainwater and wind, the pollutant is driven into the ocean. 3% of the worldwide plastic waste goes to the ocean according to the study. As more than 80% of the global plastic waste is not recycled, it is not surprising that abundant waste is accumulating in the ocean. In 2010, this was about 8 million tonnes. Before we dive into the question of where does ocean plastic waste comes from, we need to know about mismanaged plastics in the globe. The definition of mismanaged plastics is plastic waste that does not properly collect and recycle, instead, it ends up in landfills and scrap yard and directly pours into the river, lake and ocean. The graph shows more than half of the mismanaged stems from East Asia and the Pacific. The rest of the regions account for 40%. North America scores the l

3 Differences between One and Two Shaft Shredder

Image
  When choosing an industrial shredder, the first question lots of the customers ask is what is the difference between single shaft shredder and double shaft shredder. One may not see the difference except their outlook, but they are very different in 3 points. In this article, we explain the differences between One shaft shredder and Two Shaft Shredder. Machine Structure Single Shaft Shredder is equipped with only one shaft welded with rotary blades. The rotor a hydraulic-actuated pusher arm. and a screen underneath the rotating shaft. Double Shaft Shredder is built with two shafts of blades, which we also call dual shearing shafts. Its rotor consists of multiple disks of blades. The 2 rotors counter-rorate. There is no hydraulic-driven pusher or screen on this machine. Single Shaft Shredder Rotor Application Single Shaft Shredder  is suitable to process thick and solid materials such as molding purgings, runners, sprues, plastic pallets, rubber rolls, wood lumbers, tree branches, bon
