WASTE TO ENERGY EQUIPMENT
Waste to Energy facilities produce clean, renewable energy through the combustion of MSW in specially designed power plants. The residual bottom ash contains unburnt inorganics and valuable metals that can be separated and reclaimed from the material stream. General Kinematics’ durable, rugged equipment is not only able to screen, convey and transport the hot, corrosive material – GK equipment reduces the amount of downtime to maximize your uptime. Depending on your application, General Kinematics engineers and manufactures both Two-Mass or Brute Force designs.
BOTTOM ASH CONVEYORS
General Kinematics SYNCRO-COIL? Bottom Ash Vibratory Conveyors are designed to operate under the most highly adverse, wet, corrosive, demanding conditions in handling bottom ash from Waste to Energy (WTE) facilities. The balanced design, rugged construction, and sophisticated engineering keep GK’s Bottom Ash Conveyors running around the clock, 24/7.
A proven design for the WTE Industry, installations of GK’s Bottom Ash Conveyors are still in operation over thirty years later.
Low maintenance, maximum uptime for reliable performance.
Heavy-duty alloy steel replaceable trough withstands high impact and variable load conditions.
Corrosion resistant galvanized steel coil reactor springs.
Compensating balancing system, fully responsive to material loading, assures vibration-free installation, minimizing forces transmitted by impact loading.
Natural frequency SYNCRO-CUSHION? eccentric drive reduces starting torque, eliminates high stress concentration at the drive connection, and allows for starting under full load.
Units operate with low horsepower demand for maximum energy efficiency.
FINGER-SCREEN? FOR WTE
General Kinematics’ FINGER-SCREEN? for Waste to Energy (WTE) is proven to be highly successful in processing wet bottom ash and scalping off the “bulkies”. GK’s vibratory FINGER-SCREEN? is a Two-Mass, low horsepower design with few moving parts for low maintenance, maximum up time and reliable performance.
The FINGER-SCREEN? finger decks are designed with superior wear resistance and durability. Tapered finger designs along with unique cam-out surfaces and staggered positions help to prevent material bypass. The vibratory action spreads material across the deck thereby lowering the bed depth for maximum utilization of the screen area. Separation performance is further enhanced as material freely cascades down the deck with less plugging, trapping, or pegging. The result: continuous, dynamic material flow to enhance and optimize separation and classification.

VIBRATORY FLUID BED DRYERS
General Kinematics Vibratory Fluid Bed Dryers are unmatched in bulk processing performance. Each Fluid Bed Dryer is custom engineered to match your specific process needs based on: temperature limitations, moisture requirements, and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Custom engineered with a variety of options makes GK Fluid Bed Dryers a versatile part of your process operations.
Capable of continuous or batch processing, GK Fluid Bed Dryers are designed to dry at low temperatures and to eliminate scorching, charring or burning materials, thereby reducing fire hazards associated with traditional drying techniques. GK Fluid Bed Dryers utilize vibratory agitation while passing a process gas through the material bed to suspend the material in a fluidized state. This increases available material surface area, allowing a faster and complete processing of your material.

PARA-MOUNT II? VIBRATING FEEDERS
Proven performance and maintenance free operation make PARA-MOUNT II? Vibrating Feeders the first choice in vibratory feeders for the most demanding applications. PARA-MOUNT II? Vibrating Feeders in either fixed or Variable Force configurations utilize a sub-resonant Two-Mass system. Mass A (the exciter) energizes Mass B (the deck assembly) through precision engineered coil springs. Only small amounts of energy are needed to maintain the natural energy stored and released by the spring system. What this means for you is dynamic response to load surges, increased feed capacity, and exceptional reliability and ease of maintainability. PARA-MOUNT II? Vibrating Feeders are specifically designed to enhance your process.
FEATURES:Low maintenance, maximum uptime for reliable performance.
Simple, extra-heavy duty construction for years of trouble free service.
Two-Mass, sub-resonant natural frequency design is dynamically responsive to automatically maintain constant feed rate for varying load and material changes.
BRUTE FORCE VIBRATING FEEDERS
General Kinematics Brute Force Vibrating Feeders are a good solution for many applications. Brute force or single mass drive refers to a style of vibratory equipment where the one mass (a trough) has the motor(s) mounted directly to it. 100% of the vibratory action required to move the unit is generated from the unbalanced wheel force. Simple construction, easy to understand, the vibratory feeders are a good fit for many installations.
FEATURES:Simple design with good performance.
Fewer spare parts than other vibratory feeders.
Can dampen out in response to increasing loads. If your material is more challenging, GK recommends a Two-Mass Vibratory Feeder.
Larger horsepower requirements.
