The full list of benefits relating to the application of air density, Elutriation, and aspiration technology for bulk material processing companies is simply too long for us to go through right now. However, some of the most common, powerful, and impactful benefits facilities experience following this technology’s application in their facility are:

At this point, it should be pretty clear why this technology is so impactful to those who implement it. But that leads us to the next question.

Put simply; Elutriation is an air density process for separating particles based on their size, shape and density through the flow of various levels of a gas or liquid.

An Elutriator is a relatively simple device that uses the process of Elutriation to separate particles into two or more groups.

Requires minimal training and oversight leading to lower operation costs

Improved performance over ANY other system available on the market

Separates a higher quantity of regrind and separated materials

Offers the highest per hour throughput rates of any system available

It uses less air, which requires less horsepower and filtration.

The fan is positioned on the cyclone’s clean side, meaning it produces minimal wear from use.

Lower initial investment

Completely “Modular” system allowing for easy integration and installation (It can also be moved, transported, and installed in an alternate facility with ease.)

Produces dramatically higher quality regrind

Can be used for dust and fume collection

Plus, many more.

The Air wash has a diverse range of services for tire recycling companies. Nylon and polyester fibre are used in the manufacturing of passenger tires. Car tires are almost more like a textile product than a rubber product. The fibre plies are flexible and inelastic and assist with maintaining the shape of the tire and strength.

In order to recycle the tire crumb to useable products such as

playgrounds, rubber mulch, rubber asphalt, speed bumps etc., this fibre has to be efficiently removed. As in other sectors, this fibre separation can be done using different technologies. However, none can outmatch the air wash’ performance if properly applied. The air wash is used to evacuate every size reduction machine in the tire recycling process.

Tire recycling is a tough industry as tires are built to last, and breaking them down takes several heavy-duty size reduction machines, usually in series.

Our heavy Duty Air wash is designed to last. It can evacuate each and every one of these machines, efficiently removing the liberated fibre during the shredding, rasping, milling and grinding process. Since using a vacuum system is the best way to take away and convey your material from upstream equipment, why not use an air wash and clean your product at the same time.

PLASTIC PROCESSORS

If you take a look around your house, office or automobile, you will notice many plastic objects in your immediate vicinity. Most are injection moulded, extruded, blow-moulded, vacuum formed, polymer casting and now 3D printed.

Regardless of the process, scrap parts and material will be produced.

Several options are now available to the plastic processor:

LANDFILLS

Collect and outsource to a recycler, which will grind and pelletize and usually return in a black-coloured pellet.

Collect and centrally grind, pelletize and recycle

Beside the press grinders evacuated by air wash and return to the blender for immediate use.

A landfill is the worst option both financially and environmentally.

Outsourcing is a little better, but the collection, transportation, logistics and added labour should be financially considered.

Central grinding is better and shows recycling is part of your companies mission statement but does require a scrap collection system, storage, scrap labelling and separation, added labour and a separate room as conventional grinding is a dusty business. With the use of an air wash, we can eliminate the dust aspect and clean your regrind into a reusable form.

A plastic granulator is a machine or a device which transforms large plastic objects into tiny granules by the form of shredding. They were introduced recently to recycle huge plastic goods and this has proved to be a success in the manufacturing industry. Plastic is used a lot by the people in the world for multiple reasons. From use and throw cups to huge barrels, plastic is used by every layman in this world. It is reliable, cheap and long lasting. Some of the disposable plastic goods are a nuisance because landfills are caused due to them. Plastic is good only when it is used as a medium of storage. Day to day wastage of plastic can lead the earth to become infertile very soon.

Plastic is a multipurpose material and many huge objects are made out of it. However, with passage of time these objects get deteriorated or damaged due to overuse. It is time for them to be discarded and new ones to be brought into use. It is not advisable to discard large plastic goods because that will result in pollution and can cause global warming to take a hike. Therefore, huge plastic stuff is processed through a plastic granulator which turns them into small flakes that can be used as raw material to make other plastic goods. This way, plastic is recycled, pollution is reduced and more plastic is not produced.

Plastic granulators are one of the many important devices used in the 21st century. They basically work on electric power just like any other machine. The attached blades keep spinning with the help of the motor. When a plastic object is passed through, it is converted to small "granules" and hence the name "plastic granulator". On the downside, they are very expensive and require a lot of maintenance. This is not suitable for small firms and that is why plastic shredders are on the go these days.

In spite of all these demerits, a country needs to employ plastic granulators to reduce the production of plastic and to promote the need for recycling.

Since their development, Elutriation and Aspiration technology have been a literal game changer for the bulk material handling and material separation industries.

Although incredibly, many businesses in these industries are still entirely unaware of this technology’s existence.

Where they instead, are still relying on outdated and antiquated methods for material separation, or worse, are simply discarding their post-production waste and end of life materials following their production process.

Improve your reusable material processing with the Air Conveyance Systems Airwash recycling solution.

The recycling sector depends on the air wash for multiple applications.

We sell a lot of systems to compounders, plastic recyclers and plastic and rubber processors.

Regardless of the specific applications, you’re considering for your recycling bulk process material handling needs, it’s highly likely we have a solution to meet your needs and maximize your processing throughput, reduce waste, and overall optimize your facility’s recycling and processing abilities.

If you have a specific question about how our recycling technology could assist your business, we invite you to get in touch with us here at Air Conveyance Systems by calling (289) 260-0773. Also, to see precisely how our technology can process your facility’s materials, you can request a complimentary material processing validation study.

However, outside of the improved material processing benefits, our innovative Air Wash technology offers facilities which implement the technology a unique competitive advantage which is accompanied by:

New potential sources of revenue – Resulting from the high quality and increased quantity of usable separated post-production materials.

Reduced personnel and staffing costs – Because of the automated processing capabilities of the technology. Plus, the reduction of labour required to handle the unusable and discarded waste.

Increased production speed and volume – Resulting from how the Air Wash cleans and separates simultaneously while also having the highest throughput capabilities in the industry.

Reduces specialized personnel and training costs – The Air Wash System was designed both for its processing and production capabilities and for its ease of use as it requires virtually no specialized or ongoing training to operate and maintain.
