Drum screen for streamer and bird’s nest removal in plastic pellets

Ensure the highest quality of plastic pellets by effectively removing streamers and bird’s nests, integrating smoothly into continuous operations to prevent downstream process disruptions.

Removes Streamers and Improves Pellet Purity

The TS Drum Screen is designed for robust performance in the plastics industry, providing reliable removal of streamers and bird’s nests from plastic pellets. Operating efficiently in continuous automatic modes, this separator ensures the highest bulk material quality before processing. With a throughput of up to 120 metric tons per hour, it is highly capable for large-scale operations. The screen utilizes a rotating drum mechanism with a mesh designed to allow pellets through while capturing contaminants, which are then transported away by a strategic airstream. Available in smoothed and electro-polished variants, the TS Drum Screen is customizable to meet specific production requirements. Its compact, maintenance-friendly design includes a front maintenance port, with optional side ports for ease of cleaning and inspection. Integration into existing lines is seamless, accommodating various operation modes including pressure, vacuum, or circuit operations. The equipment’s compliance options include flange patterns according to DIN 2501 PN10 and ANSI 150#, ensuring compatibility with existing systems. Designed for applications involving plastic resin pellets, polymer granules, and thermoplastic powders, the TS Drum Screen is pivotal for manufacturers aiming to maintain impeccable pellet quality and operational efficiency.
