The plastic sorting machine is a highly efficient automated system designed specifically for the precise sorting of various plastic mixtures, including ABS, PS, and PP. The entire production line utilizes a PLC-based intelligent control system and a human-machine interface (HMI) screen, integrated with conveying, lifting, and sorting units to enable automatic feeding and discharge, significantly reducing labor costs.
The equipment utilizes high-voltage electrostatic separation technology. First, the crushed plastic pellets (5–20 mm) are pre-charged. Precise separation is then achieved by exploiting the differences in charge intensity and polarity among various plastics, with a sorting purity of over 99%. The entire system employs a physical separation process that is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, producing no emissions of exhaust gases, wastewater, or waste residue, and meeting modern green recycling standards.

plastic sorting machine Working Principle
- Material Pre-processing: A crusher breaks down the plastic into 5–20 mm particles or flakes to ensure sorting efficiency.
- Pre-charging: The material passes through specialized equipment where collisions generate an electric charge, preparing it for electrostatic sorting.
- Sorting Stage: Plastic particles enter the high-voltage electrostatic sorting zone, where they are separated based on differences in charge strength and polarity among various materials.
- Particle Size Control and Voltage Adjustment: By screening for different particle sizes and adjusting the sorting voltage, high-purity recovery is achieved, accommodating variations in particle characteristics.
- Product Collection: The separated plastic fractions are collected separately, facilitating subsequent recycling or further processing.
