Introducing the Latest in Pellet Technology in India – PelletPurge® by Indpro.

Indpro takes immense pride in introducing a revolutionary Pellet Cleaner technology in India. Our innovative solution ensures the thorough cleaning of particulate products such as plastic pellets and granular products before storage, manufacturing, or packing. Experience enhanced quality control and supply superior materials for your downstream processes with ease.

Why Do We Get Fine Particles and Why Does Cleaning Matter?

In any industry, it's crucial for products or raw materials to be free from contaminants to ensure the quality of the final product. Granular materials like tablets, grains and pellets often pick up contaminants and generate fines during processes like mixing, blending, or transportation. As these materials move through pipes and ducts, friction between particles and the pipe walls creates dust, micro-dust particles, and streamers, which act as contaminants.

These contaminants negatively affect the final product. Therefore, it's essential to have a cleaning system in place to remove these particles. It's also important for these cleaning systems to be positioned just before the next manufacturing, storage or packing stage to prevent additional contamination during transportation. Additionally, static charge buildup in materials also attracts dust, making it challenging to remove. Therefore, it's necessary for the cleaning system to eliminate static charge to ensure thorough dust removal.

The significance of efficiently cleaning these granules cannot be overstated. This is predominantly used in the plastics industry to elevate the quality of process input pellets and the final plastic products. Whether it's the food and pharmaceutical sectors ensuring sterile conditions, or the minerals industry addressing environmental and health concerns, the act of cleaning bulk solids plays a pivotal role.

PelletPurge® goes beyond its application in the plastics sector. Its versatility extends to various industries including food, minerals, pharmaceuticals, and more. It effectively cleans a wide range of dry bulk solids such as rice, corn, peanuts, coffee beans, iron ore, specialty sand, and wood pellets.

The reasons behind bulk solids cleaning are multi-fold. In the food and pharmaceutical sectors, hygiene is paramount, ensuring the end product meets stringent quality standards. In the minerals industry, the emphasis is on averting environmental and health risks. Meanwhile, the plastics industry leverages the technology to enhance both the quality of pellets and the final plastic goods.

The inception of the PelletPurge® was driven by the demand for uncompromising quality standards in the plastics sector. However, the technology's capabilities stretch far beyond this realm, encompassing a wide array of granular bulk materials. Whatever your industry, if bulk solids cleaning is a requirement, the PelletPurge® stands as the solution of choice.

How it works:

PelletPurge® operates through a series of essential steps:

  • Material Entry: The product enters the PelletPurge® at the top end of the primary air wash deck.
  • Static Charge Elimination: Before reaching the air wash deck, the material passes through a static eliminator. This step eliminates any static charge generated in the product, making it easier to remove dust and other contaminants.
  • Air Wash Deck: The primary air wash deck, also known as a fluidizing plate, is equipped with specially designed slots and circular holes. These features allow a flow of air to pass through the deck efficiently. As the product flows over the wash deck, the air helps to remove unwanted particles or dust.
  • Product Discharge: After passing over the air wash deck, the cleaned product is discharged at the lower end, free from contaminants and ready for further processing or storage.

Applications

  • Cleaning plastic pellets on the machine feed throat before Injection molding or extruder for best optical clarity.
  • Cleaning plastic pellets as they are fed into a central surge bin or day bin that feeds several machines or dryers.
  • Cleaning station in Railcar or truck unload system to remove contaminants (dust & streamers) before loading into storage silos.
  • Cleaning flake in recycling plants before going through an optical sorter to eliminate dust that often blinds the camera.
  • Cleaning plastic pellets as they are fed into a dryer.
  • Cleaning regrinds inline or offline to eliminate dust before reprocessing for the best part quality.
  • Cleaning pellets before packaging into bins or bag.
  • Cleaning pellets before load out into trucks or railcar.

PelletPurge® Configuration

Open Loop System:



To prevent cross-contamination in processes with frequent product changes or lines with frequent color changes, it is recommended to utilize an open loop system. A wash air fan pushes filtered fresh air from the PelletPurge® into the cleaning air source. A secondary exhaust air fan sucks in the dusty air to a dust collector. The dusty air is separated in the dust collector and dumped into a dust container. Cleaned air is then discharged into the atmosphere.

Closed Loop System:



A closed loop system is used for routine operations with consistent product grades or for inert gas applications. The closed loop system uses a push / pull wash air fan to carry wash air into the PelletPurge®. The dust collector helps to separate the dust, and the collected dust is placed into a separate container. The purified air is then sent back to the fan to be recirculated.
