May 22, 2016 Sink and Float separation process. One of the first commercial applications of a medium to effect a sink-float separation used a fine silica sand suspension for treating anthracite coal and is known as the “Chance” process. The method used for cleaning the medium is decantation which limits the minimum grain size of the solid in the suspension.

The float sink tank can process at rates of up to 2,000 pounds per hour depending on bulk density of the material. Process. The process material is propelled in a gentle Z-shaped flow pattern on the surface of the water solution traveling approximately 25 ft. This allows longer material residence times and superior separation in a compact unit.

Jul 01, 2015 The majority of recycling processes start with size reduction followed by sink-float separation to separate the lighter components, such as polyolefins (PP and PE) and foamed resins (PUR and expanded PS), from heavier plastics (ABS, PS, PET, PVC and PC etc.), and obviously, froth flotation is suitable for separation of heavier plastics.

The float-sink step is an important process step when rigid, flexible or film olefin articles are recycled in a wet wash process. There may be a float-sink step after granulation, and/or a float-sink separation employed after the wash step. Although the films do not always get a wet wash APR recommends the floatability as an important evaluation.

Rotajet sink tanks separate various types of plastics by density whilst removing contaminates prior to upstream processing. Water is generally used in float sink tanks as the density media. The specific gravity of water is 1000kgs / M3, which makes it ideal for the separation of polypropylene and polyethylene from PVC`s and ABS.

The use of a sink / float separation tank is especially useful in the recycling PP/PE films and PET bottles. In the case of PP/PE films, PP/PE films have a density of around .93 g/cm3 which makes it float while various contaminants such as dirt, rocks, metals, and glass will sink to the bottom where it is collected to removed via a conveyor system.

Sink-float separation is the dividing of two commingled polymers or materials of different specific gravities. Here is a routine example - a silo of glass-filled polycarbonate is accidentally contaminated when a tanker load of polypropylene is blown into that silo. These two materials have different densities, or specific gravity.
