The tumbler screen is commonly used in PET bottle washing lines to screen out waste contaminants such as stones, metal, glass, etc. from PET plastic bottles.
Working Principle of Tumbler Screen
A trommel is a large cylindrical screen device rotating at low speed, usually at a slight incline. As the PET bottles pass through the tumbler screen, by continuously turning the raw material, impurities such as stones, dust, metals, etc. in them will fall off the screen.
The Role of the Trommel
- Removal of impurities and contaminants: Recycled PET bottles usually include a variety of impurities, such as dust, stones, metals, etc. Trommel can effectively strip, separate, and remove these impurities and contaminants from the surface of PET bottles by means of rotating screens.
- Reduced manual intervention: The automated operation of the trommel screen reduces the need for manual intervention, reduces labor costs, and increases productivity.
- Maintains equipment and extends life: By reducing contamination and wear and tear on subsequent equipment, trommel screens help to maintain and extend the life of the equipment throughout the PET bottle scrap recycling plant.
