System 17

Recycling Material

This was a system to recycle material which was previously used once then disposed of.

The "used material" was vacuum conveyed into a small silo. It was then passed through a sifter with two separate meshes to separate out the particles which were either too large, or too small. This then left the material which was suitable for reusing.

After sieving, the material was blown into a flexible storage silo ready for use.

The machine requiring the material is constantly monitored. When the level drops (because the machine has used the material) the system automatically tops it back up.

The material was quite delicate,so needed to be conveyed delicately to prevent damage. To enable trimming of the system on site, all drives were fitted with inverters.

PJC Systems designed, programmed and commissioned the system.
