What is Density Separator?

A density separator is a machine used in various industries to separate materials based on their density differences. It works on the principle that materials with different densities will settle at different rates when subjected to a fluid medium, typically water. In recycling facilities, density separators are utilized to separate different types of materials such as plastics, metals, and glass based on their densities, allowing for more efficient recycling processes. Overall, density separators play a crucial role in various industries where separating materials based on density is necessary for processing or recycling purposes.

Density Separator Working Principle

It turns contaminated rubble or gravel, which are mixed with plastic, wood or Styrofoam, into recyclable goods. After your demolition projects, heavy materials are separated from light-weight ones in order to ease processing both outputs to re-value. Density Separator has two conveyor belts, one of them has ten lines of brushes to sweep the light materials floating over the water, filled in the tank, and discharge it from one side of the plant. There are approximately 5 cubic meters of water in full tank, which level automatically controlled with a float valve. 

Heavy-material conveyor belt removes heavy material that sinks to the bottom and throws out a stockpile. Brush drum cleaners at head drum of conveyors, both light-weight conveyor and heavy material conveyors, remove dust and garbage on the belts. Density Separator needs a minimal space to work. It uses grid power and runs at an optimal level to decrease operating costs and maintenance requirements are quite low; it just necessitates cleaning the tank by opening the cover at the basin and greasing the bearing houses. It would be an essential part of your recycling facility.
