The plastic electrostatic separator is a high-precision sorting device specifically designed for separating mixed plastic materials. It operates based on the principle of electrostatic separation, utilizing the differences in conductivity and triboelectric properties of various plastics under a high-voltage electrostatic field to achieve precise separation of multiple plastic types. Commonly separable materials include PVC, PET, ABS, PS, PC, PP, and PE.
The system primarily consists of a feeding mechanism, high-voltage electrostatic separation unit, electrical control system, and collection unit. After undergoing frictional charging, the plastic materials enter the electrostatic field. Under the combined effects of electric field forces and gravity, different plastics follow distinct trajectories, resulting in effective material separation. The entire process is chemical-free and waterless, making it environmentally friendly.
This separator is well-suited for handling complex mixed materials in various plastic recycling systems, such as crushed plastics from waste electrical appliances, automotive dismantling, packaging materials, and industrial plastic mixtures. It is particularly effective in processing lightweight plastics that are difficult to separate using traditional methods like density or air separation.
