Key Features:

  • Powerful Rotor: The RJ-Turbo’s rotor, equipped with 32 individual paddles featuring chromium carbide wear plates, provides exceptional cleaning action. As the paddles impact the plastic particles, contaminants are effectively removed from the surface.
  • Hexagonal Perforated Screen: The perforated screen efficiently filters out water and contaminants, ensuring a clean and dry end product.
  • Customizable Functionality: Depending on your specific needs, the RJ-Turbo can be fitted with spray jetting and recirculation systems for enhanced washing capabilities.

How does the RJ-Turbo work?

As the contaminated plastic enters the wash chamber, it is introduced to the 3000 rpm spinning rotor. This rotor is fitted with 32 independent paddles, each coated with chromium carbide to reduce wear time. These paddles can be individually calibrated in order to provide the perfect balance between throughput and washing standards.

The energy imparted on the product stream by this plastic washer is significant, forcing the contaminants to break free of the surface of the plastic. With a dry wash, the contaminants collect through the sump. With a wet wash, the contaminants are carried by the water, through the screen, and out into the effluent for filtration and reuse. If required, additional energy can be provided in the form of heated water and/or chemicals within the wash liquor.

RJ Turbo Optional extras

As an optional extra, it is possible to purchase the RJ-Turbo with the required auxiliary equipment forming a complete package, including:

  • Filtration: We use a vibrating sieve to remove solid particles over 300 micron. 
  • Recirculation Tank: Fitted with course filtration to protect the pumps, should the sieve fail. 
  • Holding Tank: To supply the system with either  heated or ambient temperature water
  • Gantry: To locate the washer so the effluent can naturally drain into the recirculation system

This machine is available as a standalone machine, ready to be retrofitted into any existing plastic washing plant. If required, Rotajet can provide the RJ-Turbo as a full process plant, utilising more of our recycling machinery.
