AirWash System
For cleaning/dedusting of plastic regrind to be re-used in the production line.
Kongskilde’s AirWash is the only plastics dedusting system in today’s marketplace that can convey and clean simultaneously.
The Kongskilde AirWash System has a powerful blower, which is used to convey plastic regrind materials from e.g. a granulator or debagging stations to the Air Wash separation cyclone. The AirWash system uses air density to vacuum material, process it through a cyclone, and then separate the material for storage or recycling.

Using the AirWash system for material separation and recycling
With the increasing cost of resin prices combined with the environmental and economic benefits of recycling, it is essential for producers to recycle as much plastic as possible.
The AirWash aspiration system is an effective solution for separating and cleaning plastic pellets and granules for recycling. Unwanted fines and dust are removed and collected, ultimately improving the quality of your reusable materials.
Two-Step Process
The AirWash precisely evacuates and cleans material from granulators, mixers, and other process equipment using a two-stage cleaning process.
Dust and fines are separated from the plastic regrind in 2 steps. First, adjustable cleaning is done in the separation cyclone where the material is cleaned by the vortex efficiency in the cyclone. The second cleaning is done in a cascade section where the material is falling by gravity passing adjustable vacuum slots.
After the cleaning, the material can be recycled/reused directly in the production line again. Due to the precise setting control on the system, it is ideally suited for in-house recycling where it can perform uniform cleaning of the material.
Material Applications
Examples of materials suitable for handling in an AirWash system include regrind and pellets of:
- PP
- PET
- PE
- HDPE
- Nylon
- Fibers
- ABS
- Carpet
- Rubber
- Acrylics
- Polystyrene
- and more
