Centrifugal separator provides high capacity screening of resin powder
A new Quick: Clean Centri-Sifter separator from Kason Corp has recently been installed at Solvay Solexis' factory in New Jersey, USA. The company specializes in the production of specialized plastics and materials for use in the industrial sector. Installed by Kason's distributors, Cino Equipment Inc, the new centrifugal separator has an in-built wire mesh screen that rejects any ingredients that are over 150 microns in size, allowing smaller particles to progress on to the production stage, where the plastics, resins and other materials are formed into a powder ready-for-shipping. Oversized ingredients that breach the limit, on the other hand, are sent back into the process for re-grinding until they meet the specified size requirements. This is achieved with cryogenic grinding, which places extreme demands on the system with temperatures in excess of -82 degreesC.
