SOLID POLYMER SEPARATOR

摘要

Provided is a solid polymer separator (1) which comprises a cylindrical screen (11) provided with a number of slits, a driving unit for circumferentially rotating the screen (11), a helical guide plate provided in the inner circumferential face of the screen (11), a liquid spray unit (16) (first liquid spray unit) provided in the outer circumferential face side of the screen (11), said liquid spray unit (16) facing toward the outer circumferential face of the screen (11), and a casing (18) surrounding at least the screen (11) and having a discharge port (182) in the lower part thereof. According to the solid polymer separator (1), solid polymer particles dispersed in a liquid can be separated from the liquid while avoiding contamination of the solid polymer with a metal and preventing remaining a large amount of the liquid in the solid polymer. By using the solid polymer separator (1), moreover, procedures for washing, conditioning, replacing, etc. can be skipped or conducted less frequently, which makes it unnecessary to continuously shut down the production process over a long time.
