Pelletising water tank

摘要

The pelletising water tank required in dewatering systems for plastic granules possesses filters formed from sieve bodies which serve to feed back relatively large amounts of water freed of fluff and, on exchange of the pelletised product, require rapid cleaning to reduce stoppage times. To achieve satisfactory water feedback with simple handling of the sieve bodies (22, 23), the latter are joined together in a horizontal row with the inclusion of sealing elements (30, 30') arranged at the end. In this arrangement, a first sieve body (22) sealingly connected to a tubular inlet opening (12) is followed by a second sieve body (23) having a holding device (32), the holding device (32) releaseably joining the two sieve bodies (22, 23). The pelletising water tank is, in this embodiment, suitable for receiving relatively large amounts of water and allows a uniform water feedback acting in the manner of rain on the water level of the pelletising water tank. <IMAGE>
