Hamos KWS2522-2 Electrostatic Separator for Cable Recycling, 2024

Hamos KWS2522-2 Electrostatic Separator for Cable Recycling

Application: Cable recycling, Separation of metals inside plastic mixtures (e.g. leftover copper in shredded plastics)
The electrostatic separator is used in the final steps of the cable recycling
process, after a disnimetric separation, to recover the final 1-5% of metals
contained in the plastics mix. With an input throughput of 1.3 metric tons/hour (= 2,645 lbs/hour), this
translates to 22 metric tons of extra copper recovered each month.

System includes:
– Inlet silo (capacity 100 cubic feet)
– Bucket elevator and output transport screw
– Separation module with 4 rotating drums
– 3 Transport screws for 3 sorted output fractions: plastics, metals and mixed leftover.
– Dust exhaust system

Technical Specifications:
• Throughput capacity: approx. 1.3 metric tons/h (depending on input material)
• Input material size: between 0.08 in and 0.4 in (cubic granulate)
• Separation voltage: 15,000 – 30,000 V (corona electrostatic system)
• Separation efficiency: up to 95-98 % dependent on material characteristics
Please note: to achieve the separation, the material must be dry (surface humidity: < 0.2 %),
and free of wood, films (layer thickness < 0.05 in), fibres and fibre balls
• Power supply: 400V, 3Ph
Power consumption: Installed power rating approx. 25 kW
• Dimensions of the whole line assembled (L × W × H): 23 × 27 × 16.5 feet
• Weight: 6.6 metric tons (= 13,227 pounds)
