DeDuster Applications for the Plastics Processing Industry
Production of high quality end products requires clean plastic pellets. Dust and streamers in plastic pellets cause many problems for the plastics processing industry:
- High “scrap” rates from fines burning in mold
- Blurry surfaces resulting from vaporized dust particles
- Weak spots in fibers
- Flaws in wire insulation
- Gels in films
- Housekeeping problems caused by dust and streamers
- Crusting on feed throat of screw
- Reduced mold and screw life resulting from carbonization of dust
- Mold vents clogged by dust
- Equipment and machines clogged by streamers
- Dust accumulation on silo walls, roofs and hopper walls
Regrind is also common in the plastics processing industry. Regrind is very dusty and should be cleaned before it is mixed with virgin pellets, before processing.
Special configurations for clean room applications are also available.
