Applications

Sieving PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Powder

PET Powder is a thermoplastic powder that is known for its thermal and dimensional stability as well as its excellent wear resistance properties and low moisture absorption. It is used in a wide variety of consumer and industrial products like bottles, films and fibers. PET powder can be very difficult to sieve due to the fact that it is normally very sensitive to static and can agglomerate and not pass through the screen. Furthermore, PET powder has a low bulk density and can build up on the sieve surface if not closely monitored which can lead to blinding of the screen mesh.

Contract Manufacturing Experience

Sieving PET powder is a process that Elcan successfully implemented 20 years ago using a combination of screen cleaning devices on a Tumbler Screener. However, recently, the Hi-Sifter high frequency sieving machine has been used to sieve PET powder at finer sizes due to the technologies ability to sieve down to 10 microns. The high vertical energy of the system can easily break up agglomerates and the system has built in method to limit any static from building up which allows the particles to easily pass through the screen mesh.
