Plastic factory is an important factory for the production of plastic products, and the production of plastic particles is the first link in the production of plastic products. In the production process of plastic pellets, iron removers play a vital role in removing ferrous impurities and ensuring the purity and quality of plastic pellets. So, what type of iron remover is generally used in plastic factories?
Generally speaking, plastic factories mainly use magnetic iron removers for iron removal operations when producing plastic pellets. A magnetic iron remover is a device that uses the principle of magnetic adsorption and separation to remove ferrous impurities from plastic particles. Here are a few common types of magnetic iron removers:
Suspended magnetic iron separator: This type of iron remover is usually installed above the conveyor belt to remove ferrous impurities from the plastic particles through magnetic adsorption and separation. It can adjust the strength and position of the magnetic force according to the production needs to adapt to different particle sizes and output requirements.
Hand-held magnetic iron remover: This kind of iron remover is held by the staff, and the iron impurities are removed from the plastic particles by placing the iron remover close to the plastic particles, using magnetic adsorption and separation. It is suitable for small-scale or local iron removal needs and is easy and flexible to operate.
Pipeline magnetic iron remover: This type of iron remover is usually installed in the plastic particle conveying pipeline, and removes ferrous impurities from the plastic particles by means of magnetic adsorption and separation. It enables continuous iron removal operations and is suitable for mass production and efficient iron removal requirements.
In addition to the above-mentioned pendant, hand-held and pipe-type magnetic separators, magnetic grates and drawer separators are often used in the production of plastic pellets.
A magnetic grid is a kind of iron removal equipment installed on a conveying pipe or feeding port. It usually consists of multiple magnetic rods that have a strong magnetic force that adsorbs ferrous impurities. When the plastic particles pass through the grid, the ferrous impurities will be magnetically adsorbed on the grid, thus achieving the effect of iron removal. The advantages of magnetic grille are that it is simple in structure, easy to install, and suitable for small equipment and piping systems.
A drawer separator is a type of iron removal equipment that is installed under a conveyor belt or on a production line. It usually has a pull-out drawer structure with a magnetic rod or magnetic plate inside for the adsorption of ferrous impurities. When the plastic particles pass through the drawer, the ferrous impurities will be magnetically adsorbed inside the drawer, and the impurities will be removed by pulling the drawer out to achieve the effect of iron removal. The advantage of the drawer-type iron remover is that it is easy and quick to remove impurities, and it is suitable for small and medium-sized production equipment and production lines.
Magnetic grilles and drawer escalators complement each other with magnetic separators and can be used in different production steps to improve the effectiveness of iron removal. Magnetic grids are mainly used to prevent large pieces of ferrous impurities from entering the production line, while drawer eliminators are used to remove fine ferrous impurities. By combining these iron removal equipment, the ferrous impurities in the plastic particles can be effectively removed and the purity and quality of the plastic particles can be ensured.
To sum up, plastic factories generally use magnetic iron removers, magnetic grids, and drawer iron removers to remove ferrous impurities in the production of plastic pellets. The selection and configuration of these iron removal equipment is carried out according to factors such as the characteristics of plastic pellets, the requirements of the production process and the output to ensure the quality and production efficiency of plastic pellets. Of course, there are many factors to consider when choosing the right type of iron separator, such as the characteristics of the plastic pellets, the requirements of the production process, and the throughput. Therefore, in practical applications, plastic factories will choose the appropriate type of iron remover according to their own situation, and combine with other impurity removal equipment to ensure the quality and production efficiency of plastic pellets.
