After the conveying, the material will be separated from the conveying air e.g. by rotary valves and other devices requiring energy, maintenance and regular replacement of wearing parts.
Cyclones etc., which are economical to run, can also do the separation, but these are quite often causing problems with clogging the screen inside.
Kongskilde has now introduced a new efficient static separator for edge trim and die cut skeletons also from thin, light paper and plastic materials. The new static separator STS 300 can handle air flows up to 8000 m3/h. By mounting a self-adjusting bottom plate in the separation chamber, the high speed of the material is maintained under the screen. This prevents turbulence, which would stop the material stream from being discharged continually.
The bottom plate is balanced by adjustable weights, and thereby a suitable opening and air speed are maintained by varying air flows. An adjustable stopping device can furthermore limit the rate of closing.
The screen in the separator will wear in time. However, it is easy to replace without having to disassemble the separator reducing the time for maintenance to a minimum.
Kongskilde’s new static separator STS 300 is an economical and efficient solution for separating difficult materials at the discharge end of pneumatic trim extraction systems.
