What is a Recycling Screen Plant and what are the major components of such a machine?
A Recycling Screen Plant is a piece of equipment used in recycling facilities to sort and process recyclable materials such as plastics, paper, glass, metals, and others. The primary function of a Recycling Screen Plant is to separate mixed materials into different categories based on size, shape, and material type so that they can be efficiently processed for recycling. The same type of machine is used in open sand pits to classify gravel in different sizes from sand to larger rocks. In quarries it is used also to sort raw material into different sizes for different applications in the construction industry.
The major components of a Recycling Screen Plant typically include:
Feed Hopper: This is where the mixed recyclable materials or the raw gravel are initially deposited into the machine for processing.
Conveyor Belts: These belts transport the materials through the different stages of the screening process. They may be inclined or horizontal, depending on the design of the plant.
Screening Deck: The screening deck consists of a series of screens or sieves with different sized openings. As the material moves along the conveyor belt, it passes over the screens, allowing smaller particles to fall through while larger ones continue along the conveyor.
Vibrating Screens: Vibrating screens are used to shake the materials as they move over the screening deck. This helps to separate materials based on size and prevents clogging or blockages in the screens.
Trommel: A trommel is a cylindrical drum with perforated metal plates or screens. It rotates as the material moves through it, allowing smaller particles to fall through while larger ones are carried to the end of the trommel. Often used to screen wet soil and earth.
Air Classifiers: Air classifiers use air streams to separate lighter materials such as paper and plastic from heavier materials like glass and metals. The lighter materials are blown upward while the heavier materials fall downward, allowing for separation.
Eddy Current Separators: These separators use magnetic fields to repel non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper from the rest of the materials. The metals are then collected separately for recycling.
