AirWash System
For cleaning/dedusting of plastic regrind to be re-used in the production line.
Kongskilde’s AirWash™ system is a cutting-edge solution for cleaning and dedusting plastic regrind materials, enabling the simultaneous conveying and cleaning of plastic pellets and granules for recycling. This dedusting system stands out in the market as it efficiently combines material transport with an advanced air-cleaning process, optimizing both productivity and material quality.
The AirWash system utilizes a powerful blower to vacuum and convey plastic regrind materials from sources such as granulators or debagging stations directly to the AirWash separation cyclone. The AirWash creates vortexes within the system to separate and clean plastic regrind, allowing for immediate reuse or storage.

How the AirWash System Works for Material Dedusting and Recycling
The AirWash system offers an innovative approach to material separation and cleaning, critical for facilities seeking to maximize the quality of recycled plastic. By removing unwanted fines and dust, the AirWash enhances material cleanliness and boosts the value of reprocessed plastics.
As resin prices rise and recycling gains importance, the AirWash system provides an efficient and economical solution for handling plastic regrind. This aspiration-based dedusting system uses a two-step cleaning process to achieve precision separation:
- Cyclone Separation: Material enters the separation cyclone, where air vortexes clean the plastic regrind, removing fines and impurities.
- Cascade Cleaning: In the cascade section, material falls by gravity through adjustable vacuum slots, ensuring thorough cleaning.
Once processed, the clean regrind can be reintroduced directly into the production line, making the AirWash system ideal for in-house recycling and consistent, high-quality material output.
