Why a dedusting system for your production?
Some substances and contaminants occur naturally in products such as minerals, foods, tablets and other bulk solids, while others are caused by the way the products are handled.
Impurities in plastic pellets, both fine particles (dust) and angel hair (streamers), are generated by the friction in conveyor lines.
Dilute phase systems create large amounts of dust and streamers; the higher the speed, the greater the amount of impurities.
Pipe ends also cause friction and result in the creation of more dust and streamers.
The high pressure in dense phase or slow motion systems creates very fine dust through wall friction and friction between pellets.
Temperature, pellet shape and product properties can also contribute to dust generation.
The importance of filtering particulate matter from your (plastic) production.
Food and pharmaceutical bulk materials are cleaned for hygienic reasons and to improve the quality of the finished, packaged product.
Minerals are cleaned primarily to prevent environmental and health problems.
The plastics industry cleans pellets to improve the quality of both the pellets and the finished plastic product.
In addition to cleaning plastic pellets, the DeDuster® can be used for cleaning dry bulk solids in the food, mineral and pharmaceutical industries.
Some examples of materials that need to be cleaned are:
- Foods such as: rice, corn, peanuts, coffee beans
- Other bulk materials such as: iron ore, special sand, wood pellets
- Pharmaceutical products such as: tablets, pills…
The Pelletron DeDuster ® was originally developed in response to the high quality standards in the plastics industry.
But the technology can be used for all types of granular bulk materials.
Specifications of the Pelletron universal dust removal machine:
- Removes dust and streamers with one machine.
- Removes electrostatically charged dust particles.
- Compatible with any injection molding machine.
- The building height is quite low.
- Fits both on top of extruders and under silos.
- Reduces residual dust levels after cleaning
