Application of industrial filter cloth in horizontal vacuum belt filter for computer plastic waste treatment
With the accelerated iteration of electronic products, the large-scale generation of waste electronic plastic waste such as discarded computers has brought environmental pressure and also promoted the development of resource recycling technology. In the process of recycling computer plastic waste, solid-liquid separation plays a crucial role, and horizontal vacuum belt filter with high-performance industrial filter cloth (filter mesh) is one of the important equipment combinations.
I. Characteristics and Challenges of Computer Plastic Waste Treatment
Computer plastic waste is mainly composed of ABS 、 PC 、 PS and other engineering plastics, and the processing process usually involves the following steps:
- Crushing and washing;
- Chemical or thermal removal of impurities (such as oil stains, flame retardants);
- A large amount of mixed suspension or slurry is produced during the extraction or solvent separation process.
These liquids contain a large number of suspended particles, filler impurities, or additive residues, which need to be removed through solid-liquid separation processes to ensure the purity and performance of the recycled plastics.
II. Applicability of Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filter
Compared with other filtration equipment, ** horizontal vacuum belt filter ( HVBF ) ** has the following advantages:
- Continuous operation high efficiency;
- Large filtration area suitable for processing high-viscosity, low-solid-content plastic wastewater or mixed slurry;
- Multi-stage controllable operations of filtration, washing, and drying to achieve more thorough impurity separation;
- Strong adaptability to filter cloth filter cloth types can be flexibly changed according to material characteristics.
Therefore, HVBF it is widely used in plastic waste pretreatment, intermediate separation, and recycling processes.
III. The Key Role of Industrial Filter Cloth
In HVBF the system, industrial filter cloth as the core separation medium between the material and the vacuum system, its performance directly determines the filtration efficiency and recovery quality. For the characteristics of computer plastic waste, high-quality filter cloth should have the following characteristics:
1. Good chemical compatibility
It should be able to withstand solvents, surfactants, alkaline or weakly acidic components in the washing liquid, maintaining structural stability and preventing premature aging.
2. High strength and stable air permeability
It needs to withstand the mechanical stress generated during material impact, vacuum suction, and filter cake removal, while maintaining stable air permeability and fine pore size distribution.
3. Easy to peel and easy to clean
For ABS or PC suspensions with strong adhesion in plastic solutions, the filter cloth surface should have good filter cake peelability to reduce the risk of blockage and improve cleaning efficiency.
4. Customizable processing
According to the equipment width, operating speed, and material characteristics, processes such as edging, punching, and seaming can be performed to ensure stable operation and extend service life.
IV. Typical Application Cases (Taking Xiamen Citius (citius-filter) as an example)
Xiamen Citius (citius-filter) Filter Materials Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of industrial filter cloths 30 years, has provided mature filter cloth solutions for many electronic plastic waste recycling projects. For example:
- In the computer plastic solvent extraction process of a certain electronic recycling company, customized multi-layer structured filter cloth is used with HVBF equipment to successfully achieve high-efficiency separation of impurity particles (particle size 10~50μm );
- The filter cloth has excellent alkali resistance and hydrolysis resistance, effectively extending its service life 30% and above;
- The purity of the filtered plastic slurry is greatly improved, providing stable input for subsequent regranulation.
V. Conclusion
With increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the recycling process of plastic waste, especially electronic plastics, is moving towards high efficiency, environmental protection, and low consumption. horizontal vacuum belt filter + High-performance industrial filter cloth Has become an important tool for improving processing efficiency and optimizing resource recovery. In the future, with the development of new materials and new filtration technologies, industrial filter cloth will play a greater role in the plastic circular economy.
