Herbold Meckesheim USA density separation tanks.

North Smithfield, Rhode Island-based Herbold Meckesheim USA is offering density separation tanks, also known as sink-swim tanks, that use water to separate plastic scrap from different densities as well as to separate contaminants from homogenous plastics. The firm’s new density separation tanks:

• ensure lighter plastics exit the tank via a top discharge setup, while heavier items continuously are removed by a scraping chain conveyor mounted below the bottom of the tank
• provide a V-shaped bottom designed to help ensure sinking scrap or waste can be exited from the bottom without accumulation or buildup
• are available in sizes that include 78 inches by 31 inches up to 157 inches by 71 inches
• have drive motors available in a range of horsepower from 1.5 horsepower up to 15 hp
