Vecoplan introduces HydroDyn plastics washing line

The equipment company Vecoplan will introduce its HydroDyn plastics washing Line to the North American market at the NPE 2015 show, March 23-27 in Orlando, Florida. Vecoplan, Archdale, North Carolina, says its HydroDyn technology has been proven in European recycling plants and backed by test results that show its process produces cleaner plastic flakes and delivers lower operating costs. The company claims that the equipment is more economical to install and maintain than conventional plastics washing lines.

HydroDyn uses water spun in a cyclonic fashion to generate horizontal friction and clean plastic flakes suspended in that water to produce flakes that are 30 percent cleaner than conventional washing lines, according to Vecoplan.
