Product description: The first drying stage of our standard PP / PE film washing line, the dewatering machine can efficiently remove large portions of moisture from the PP / PE film directly after the washing process. Strategically placed after the sink / float separation tank, the dewatering machine uses centrifugal force to spin water outwards while the PP / PE films are contained within.
At the center of the dewatering machine is a long shaft mounted with many paddles spun to nearly 1,000 rotations per minute by an electric motor. Surrounding the paddled shaft is a mesh screen tunnel. As the slurry PP / PE film is fed into the vertical feeder, its instantly thrown outwards against a mesh screen that surrounds the shaft. Water passes through the mesh screen and is collected for recycling while the PP / PE film is continuously thrown and mixed around inside.
