KiTech's laser filtration equipment achieved a successful first trial in the UK, helping to upgrade the purity of recycled plastics!
This week, a UK recycled plastics factory received excellent news: KiTech's independently developed laser filtration system successfully entered production! Thanks to precise installation and commissioning by our overseas engineering team, the LDPE recycled pellets produced on-site achieved a breakthrough in quality, with low impurities and high uniformity, marking another milestone in the recognition of Chinese intelligent manufacturing in the international high-end market.
I. KiTech's Story with the Customer
This UK customer had long been plagued by the technical limitations of its existing pelletizing system: despite its advanced equipment, the lack of precision filtration resulted in a high impurity content in the recycled pellets, seriously impacting the product's secondary sales value. The customer sought a better solution from KiTech. Our sales and technical teams carefully inquired about the customer's specific situation and difficulties and provided a targeted solution. KiTech's equipment offered a competitive price compared to foreign laser filtration equipment, and the customer ultimately chose our company.
2. Efficiently Handling Complex Impurities
KiTech Machinery's laser filtration system is specifically designed to efficiently filter various stubborn impurities from recycled plastics (such as PP, PE, LDPE, HDPE, PS, EPS, ABS, PVB, PVC, etc.). It effectively removes a wide range of contaminants, including iron, steel, wood chips, paper, textile fibers, unmelted plastics, aluminum, sand, copper, and stone, significantly improving the quality of the recycled pellets.
3. Core Advantages of Laser Filtration:
Reduced Labor Costs:
By saying goodbye to the frequent downtime required for screen changes with traditional manual screen changers! The self-cleaning laser filter automatically removes impurities from the filter, significantly reducing labor costs, ensuring continuous production, and greatly improving overall efficiency.
Extremely Long Service Life:
The core component, the laser screen, is made of high-strength carbide steel, offering excellent wear resistance and toughness. Its 1.5mm thickened design ensures an exceptionally long service life, significantly reducing the frequency and cost of filter replacements.
Excellent Filtration Precision:
Thanks to advanced laser technology, the laser screen features thousands of precision laser-drilled holes measuring 80 to 800 microns, enabling highly efficient impurity interception and filtration.
High-Frequency Self-Cleaning Function:
The system is equipped with six high-efficiency scrapers, creating a continuous cleaning mechanism that rapidly scrapes impurities from the filter surface. This high-frequency cleaning ensures rapid restoration of filter pores, maintaining high throughput even during pelletizing processes involving highly contaminated raw materials.
Stable Constant Pressure Intelligent Operation:
The speed of the scrapers and discharge screw automatically adjusts in real time based on melt pressure, ensuring constant pressure throughout the filtration process. This "constant pressure operation" mode enables the system to process highly contaminated materials stably and efficiently.
Extremely Low Melt Loss:
Only a minimal amount of melt is removed during impurity discharge, keeping melt loss to an exceptionally low 1%-3%. Compared to traditional filters, this significantly reduces material waste and improves production efficiency.
