Concept and Design of the Test Bench for Electrostatic Separation in Plastic Recycling Application

Plastics recycling has become a key industry in developed countries, to reduce ecological damage and save non-renewable resources. This paper discusses the concept design of electrostatic separator as test bench for separation different plastics applications. In automotive process, all these waste materials must be processed further re-entering cycle or thermal utilization. The following application presents possibility research technological tests by changing several parameters, such position electrodes, control polarity voltage, variable speed feeder drum, also tribo-electrification parameters (time, intensity). impact process on efficiency plastic can analyzed specialized computer vision system. preliminary results conducted showed that is dependent many variations parameters. this study indicate proposed innovative stand ensures high potential equipment.
