Stainless Steel Scalperator¶
Stainless Steel Scalperator – Industrial Plastic Pellet Cleaning Equipment
The Carter Day Stainless Steel Scalperator is a high-capacity industrial cleaning and separation machine designed to efficiently remove streamers, agglomerates, oversized particles, and fines from plastic pellets and other free-flowing granular materials. Combining scalping and aspiration in a single machine, the Stainless Steel Scalperator provides effective material cleaning in one pass, offering enhanced separation capabilities compared to traditional elutriators.
Precision Feed Control and Consistent Material Flow
Incoming plastic pellets pass over a molded urethane feed roll that accurately controls the material feed rate and provides positive shut-off. The wear-resistant feed roll features a smooth surface that helps prevent product buildup and contamination while maintaining consistent material flow throughout the cleaning process.
High-Capacity Scalping and Oversized Material Removal
Pellets then pass through a rotating stainless steel perforated scalping reel that separates streamers, agglomerates, and oversized particles from the product stream. The round-hole perforated screen design helps prevent screen blinding and supports consistent separation performance.
An integrated agglomerate plate enhances high-capacity scalping performance while minimizing material buildup behind the scalping reel.
High-Efficiency Aspiration and Fines Removal
Following scalping, the material passes through a high-volume aspiration channel designed to remove dust, fines, and lightweight contaminants from the pellet stream.
A performance-engineered aspiration chamber and flow-modulated airlock valve provide efficient fines removal, helping improve material cleanliness and consistency for downstream processing applications.
Reliable Operation and Easy Maintenance
The Stainless Steel Scalperator features an HTD drive system designed to improve operating reliability, reduce downtime, and minimize adjustment and maintenance requirements.
Its simplified design allows for convenient cleanout and routine maintenance, while integrated inspection windows enable operators to monitor cleaning and separation performance during operation.
