Angel Hair Trap

Efficient inline removal of angel hair in pneumatic conveying systems

Angel hair refers to the long, hair-like strands of plastic that form when resins are conveyed at high speeds through tubing. These strands accumulate over time and can cause blockages, leading to inefficiencies throughout the system—from transport vehicles to final processing machines.

The Inline Angel Hair Trap is designed to effectively capture and remove these strands, ensuring smooth material flow in pneumatic conveying systems.

Efficient Removal of Angel Hair

The Inline Angel Hair Trap is installed directly in the material stream, where it captures angel hair, streamers, or snake skins while allowing pellets to pass through without obstruction. Available in two sizes, the OK 160 model is suitable for both vacuum and pressure conveying systems, while the Ø50 mm model is ideal for vacuum systems only. With its clear top cover, operators can easily monitor accumulation levels and perform maintenance as needed.

Key Features

Available in two pipe sizes: OK 160 and Ø50 mm (2 inch)
Clear top cover for easy visual inspection
Quick and easy screen removal for maintenance and cleaning
Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel for durability
OK 160 model connects using quick-release clamps
Ø50 mm model connects via compression couplings
Knob fasteners for effortless cover removal
Designed for optimal airflow performance at 20-30 m/s

Benefits

Minimizes Downtime – By capturing angel hair before it accumulates, the Inline Angel Hair Trap reduces the risk of blockages and system interruptions, preventing costly downtime caused by manual cleanouts or equipment failures.
Prevents Material Buildup – Angel hair often entangles with pelletized material, creating clumps or bridging that obstruct flow, particularly in cone-shaped receiver bases. The trap effectively prevents this issue, maintaining a steady and reliable material stream.
Enhances Product Quality – Uncontrolled angel hair can impact material consistency, leading to defects in the final product. The Inline Angel Hair Trap ensures higher-quality processing by removing strands early in the system, improving production efficiency and reducing waste.
