GLASS / FIBERGLASS RECYCLING SOLUTIONS
Glass is one of the few materials that can be recycled infinitely without losing strength, purity or quality. It is a widely recycled material, but beware: broken glass can be painful for both you and the recycling process. Fiberglass has inherent value but is traditionally difficult to process.1. Screens are used to size the material.
2. Fine grind material also goes through a drying process to ensure proper material flow thru the screening and silo storage process.
With the use of General Kinematics vibratory technology, recycled glass cullet can be cleaned, dried, screened and conveyed like never before.
GENERAL KINEMATICS ROD DECKS
General Kinematics Engineered Rod Decks are specifically designed for the separation of difficult material that is prone to sticking or blinding in traditional screening applications. The secret behind the rod decks ability to perform lies in the flexibility and reduced surface area of the rods within the deck section, while maintaining the designed screening tolerance. With more open area, less blinding, less hang ups, the heavy-duty design of GK rod decks allow for abrasive, heavy, wet, or otherwise difficult material to easily screen.
The high-stroke capabilities of the GK’s vibratory screening equipment combined with the flexibility of the engineered rod deck assemblies, creates a versatile and high performance screening solution to maximize sorting in your process application.
Rod deck media can be applied to various General Kinematics resource recovery equipment.
Separates material that blinds on traditional screening surfaces.
Allows for flexibility while maintaining screening tolerances.
GK Rod Decks allow for abrasive, heavy, wet, or otherwise difficult material to easily screen.
DISTRIBUTION CONVEYORS
Specifically designed to uniformily spread material across to various discharge points. This style conveyor can feed multiple color sorters for optimal glass recovery. Balanced design complete with chromium carbide overlay trough, is designed to withstand the abrasive nature of glass cullet.
GLASS CULLET CONVEYORS
Specifically designed to transfer and collect glass and glass cullet throughout your facility. GK Transfer Conveyors for Glass Cullet can be located below the floor with a trench style unit or in an elevated position with a balanced design. Many customers prefer trench style units for their ease and convenience of housekeeping – when glass is dropped or items broken, glass can easily be swept onto the conveyor. In addition, these style conveyors provide your facility with more floor space to perform other processing operations.
Optional liner assemblies include chromium carbide or abrasion resistant (AR), which are designed to withstand the abrasive nature of glass cullet. Other options include water quenching, fines removal, covers and more to improve the quality of your materials.
SINGLE KNIFE DE-STONER? AIR CLASSIFIER
The GK Single Knife DE-STONER? Air Classifier is a fully proven design operating efficiently in various separating applications. This dry classifying system is capable of handling continuous, high volume production.
The completely dry system eliminates water handling and other “wet” system problems, yet can easily handle moist materials. The DE-STONER? Air Classifier combines vibration, fluidization with a high velocity / low pressure air stream to stratify material. Differences in terminal velocity of particles result in heavy items such as glass, metallics, and stones to be removed from lighter items such as paper, plastic and small wood.
The heart of your sorting system
1. Vibratory action moves material, with high density material settling to the bottom of the trough.
2. Fines drop out section (optional) removes smaller particle sizes like broken glass or dirt before reaching air fluidizer.
3. Air fluidizing section blows air through the material and creates turbulence to promote material stratification.
4. Material conveys over the air knife into the air stream. Heavier materials falls through the air stream to the discharge chute.
5. Marginal density material falls on the adjustable landing plate and drops back into discharge chute.
6. Lights materials are carried beyond the landing plate and convey to the end of the DE-STONER?.
7. Ultra light materials like thin film or paper are carried in the air stream to the product discharge zone.
