The aim of this study was to investigate and analyze the separation process poly (ethylene terephthalate) high-density polyethylene mixture. research studied influence parameters tribocharging processes on quality separation. carried out using a developed test stand consisting tribocharger dedicated drum-type electrostatic separator. Both separator have been designed as automated benches assess plastic In order plastics, an original method based use vision system used. conducted in two stages. Firstly, efficiency process, i.e., charge collected, investigated. next stage focused analysis its effectiveness. obtained results were presented discussed. On basis research, affecting their effectiveness determined.
