Thermoplastic Elastomer Cleaning Device for Efficient Raw Material Washing
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) raw materials often carry dust, oil, or process residues during production and recycling. Traditional cleaning methods are water-intensive, inefficient, and risk damaging material properties. This device is designed for automated, high-efficiency, low-loss TPE cleaning to ensure quality in subsequent processing.
1. Design Background
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) raw materials often carry dust, oil, or process residues during production and recycling. Traditional cleaning methods are water-intensive, inefficient, and risk damaging material properties. This device is designed for automated, high-efficiency, low-loss TPE cleaning to ensure quality in subsequent processing.
2. Key Features
Multi-Stage Water-Air Cleaning System: Combines pre-spray, vortex agitation, and ultrasonic cleaning units to remove surface and embedded contaminants step by step.
Closed-Loop Water Circulation & Filtration: Cleaning fluid is recycled after multi-stage filtration (sedimentation, activated carbon, precision filter), reducing water consumption by over 80%, with smart additive dosing.
Integrated Drying & Sorting: Cleaned materials are evenly dried by controlled airflow, while unwashed chunks are removed via vibrating screens, directing clean material to the next process.
Modular Quick-Connect Structure: Each cleaning unit uses flange connections for flexible process reconfiguration based on contamination level, enabling fast maintenance.
3. Cleaning Process Flow
Feeding & Pre-Rinse: TPE fragments are evenly fed via conveyor belt and initially rinsed by rotating spray nozzles to remove large impurities.
Deep Vortex Cleaning: Materials are tumbled and scrubbed in a vortex tank to dislodge adhered contaminants.
Precision Ultrasonic Treatment: Ultrasonic generators activate to remove micron-level oil residues or embedded particles.
Dehydration, Drying & Sorting: Centrifugal dewatering followed by temperature-controlled airflow drying, with final screening to output clean material.
4、Quality Control for the Cleaning Device
Key Components & Material Quality Control
A strict supplier certification system is established for critical components, focusing on material certifications and performance reports for core parts such as the spraying system, filtration modules, ultrasonic generators, and corrosion-resistant pipelines. All incoming components undergo pressure testing, leak checks, and material composition verification (e.g., stainless steel grade) to ensure long-term stable operation in acidic/alkaline cleaning agent environments.
Online Process Quality Monitoring and Process Stability Assurance
Multiple real-time monitoring points are set within the cleaning process: 1) Process Parameter Monitoring: Real-time tracking and logging of water temperature, pressure, ultrasonic power, and conveyor speed at each stage, using a PLC system to maintain parameters within set ranges (e.g., water temp ±2°C); 2) Online Cleanliness Assessment: Turbidity sensors and vision inspection systems installed at the outlet provide immediate feedback on surface cleanliness and residual contaminants of washed materials. Data deviations trigger automatic alarms and initiate a re-wash cycle.
