Description

Available for sale is a used 2024 WIPA Intensive Cleaner / Centrifugal Dryer / Washing Centrifuge, Type MD 1000-55, designed for demanding plastics recycling and material-recovery applications.

The unit has a stated 6.3 m³ capacity and incorporates an approximately 1,000 mm diameter x 2,900 mm straight-side rotor. It is powered by an approximately 55 kW motor operating at 400V, 50 Hz, 3-phase and includes a control panel.

Engineered as a heavy-duty, high-efficiency recycling machine, the MD 1000-55 can be used for intensive cleaning, dry cleaning, or mechanical dewatering of compatible plastic flakes. Target materials include LDPE film, PP, HDPE, and Tetra Pak-type materials.

In a plastics recycling line, this equipment can potentially be positioned after shredding, granulation, or washing operations to help remove residual moisture and contaminants before downstream drying, sorting, extrusion, pelletizing, or other reprocessing steps.

The machine is supported on four legs for industrial installation.
