Friction Washer

Friction washers are critical equipment in the plastic recycling process to clean and remove water from the plastic material, including film flakes and granules. These cylindrical machines are operated by an inclined high-speed screw, and they are very aggressive in washing the material to eliminate all the unwanted materials such as dirt and oils. The fines and water are separated from the ground material through a friction washer that is protected by a stainless-steel screen. Raw materials are fed into the machine at the base and exit the machine at the top outlet after passing through a very rigorous washing process to make them pure.

The key difference between friction washers is that they are very effective at removing contaminants and do not need much maintenance. This makes them ideal for any business that wants to cut costs and achieve the best results in their plastic recycling process. Friction washers have other features such as anti-wear steel blades, dynamic balanced rotors, and isolated bearing blocks that make them strong and long-lasting in harsh working conditions.
