Density Separator Sorts PE from PP.A new "turbulent laminar-flow" separation technology uses liquid baths to separate plastic flakes by density--e.g., PP from PE bottle scrap. The patented system from TLT TLT Tilt TLT The Literary Times TLT Teaching, Learning & Technology TLT The Last Temptation (music album) TLT Transmission Line Transformer TLT The Little Theatre TLT Test Loop Translator TLT Trails Less Traveled Turbo Lamiare Treantechnik in Frankfurt, Germany, consists of two cylinders. In the first, clean flake flake an epidermal scale. flake Cocaine, see there is suspended in a liquid with a defined density. Then it's pumped with turbulence turbulence, state of violent or agitated behavior in a fluid. Turbulent behavior is characteristic of systems of large numbers of particles, and its unpredictability and randomness has long thwarted attempts to fully understand it, even with such powerful tools as into the second cylinder, which has cone-shaped ends. Laminar flow laminar flow Fluid flow in which the fluid travels smoothly or in regular paths. The velocity, pressure, and other flow properties at each point in the fluid remain constant. directs the heavy fraction of flake out the bottom and the light fraction out the top, separating any plastics with a difference in density over 0.03 g/cc. The system was commercialized in 1997 in Germany, where there are 15 installations. It has a footprint of 10 x 13 ft. |
