The plastic float sink tank, also known as PET bottle washing machine, can quickly separate materials, especially two plastics with similar density, such as PET, PP, PE, PVC, etc.

Working principle of plastic float sink tank

Using water as the medium, according to the different densities in water, the plastic float sink tank can easily achieve the separation of PET flakes and other materials and also can clean the PET flakes.

PET flakes which are denser than water will sink to the bottom. Other materials such as plastic wrapping paper and bottle cap flakes, which are mainly made of PP and PE, will float because they are less dense than water.
