Sink Float Separation Tank With Paddle Wheel Driving Material Forward While Washing and Cleaning
Product Spotlights
Manufactured by Dongguan Xinbao Machinery Co., Ltd., a trusted supplier serving diverse global markets including North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, this Sink Float Separation Tank is engineered for efficiency and reliability. It expertly combines washing, cleaning, and material separation into a single, streamlined process, significantly boosting productivity in material recovery and recycling operations. The innovative paddle wheel design ensures consistent material flow while undergoing thorough cleaning, making it an indispensable asset for operations demanding high purity output.
Core Functionality & Advantages:
- Integrated Processing: Performs washing, cleaning, and sink-float separation in one continuous operation, eliminating the need for multiple pieces of equipment and reducing floor space requirements.
- Efficient Material Handling: The robust paddle wheel system actively drives the material forward through the tank while vigorously agitating it against the water flow. This dual action ensures:
- Thorough removal of contaminants, dirt, and labels.
- Prevention of material clumping or sinking prematurely.
- Consistent, controlled feed rate for optimal separation efficiency.
- Precise Density Separation: Utilizes the sink-float principle where materials are separated based on their specific density relative to water (or a chosen medium). Lighter materials (floats) are carried over weirs at the end, while heavier materials (sinks) are collected from the bottom.
- Rugged Construction: Primarily constructed using high-grade stainless steel for the tank body and critical components, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and longevity even in harsh, wet processing environments.
- Optimized Water Usage: Designed with water circulation and filtration considerations in mind, promoting more sustainable operation by allowing for water reuse and reducing overall consumption.
- Customization Ready: Tank dimensions, paddle wheel configuration, water inlet/outlet placement, and separation thresholds can be tailored to handle specific material types (e.g., PET flakes, HDPE flakes, mixed plastics) and desired throughput volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What types of materials is this separation tank best suited for?
A: Primarily designed for plastic flakes (PET, HDPE, PP, PVC) in recycling. It's also effective for separating other materials based on density differences, like certain metals or minerals, when configured appropriately. -
Q: Can the separation density be adjusted?
A: Yes, the separation density is primarily controlled by the medium (usually water). For finer separations requiring densities different from water (1.0 g/cm³), specific gravity solutions can be used as an option. -
Q: How is the water managed? Is water recycling possible?
A> Water usage is a key consideration. The tank is designed to integrate with water recirculation systems (filtration, settling tanks), which is highly recommended to reduce freshwater consumption and treatment costs. Inlet/outlet placements facilitate this. -
Q: What is the advantage of the paddle wheel over just water flow?
A: The paddle wheel provides positive mechanical conveyance. It ensures material moves forward at a controlled rate regardless of buoyancy, prevents clogging, and significantly enhances the scrubbing/cleaning action compared to passive flotation. -
Q: What maintenance does the paddle wheel system require?
A: Maintenance is generally low. Periodic checks on paddle integrity, shaft bearings, and drive motor/gearbox lubrication are recommended. The stainless steel construction minimizes corrosion issues. -
Q: Are different sizes readily available, or is it custom-built?
A: We offer standard sizes based on common throughput needs, but the tank is highly customizable. Dimensions (length, width, depth), paddle configuration, and weir heights can be tailored to your specific capacity and material requirements. -
Q: How does this integrate with upstream and downstream equipment?
A: It's designed for seamless integration. Typically receives pre-washed or shredded material via conveyor. Outputs (float and sink) can be discharged via chutes or conveyors to drying systems or further processing stages. Connection points are standardized. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom tank?
A> Lead times vary based on complexity and current workload. Standard models may ship faster. Please inquire directly with Dongguan Xinbao Machinery for an accurate estimate based on your specifications.
