AIR DENSITY SEPARATOR
Get superior contaminant removal with reduced loss of acceptable fiber. Small contaminants are efficiently removed, including, including non-ferrous metals, plastics, and other contaminants, by using the Acrowood Air Density Separator (ADS).
Air Density Separator Features
•Effective removal of high density contaminants from a variety of woody or biomass materials
•Excellent control over contaminant removal with adjustable air velocity and separation zone depth
•Control system automatically compensates for changing flow rates and operating conditions
•Years of operating experience in a variety of applications including pulp and paper woodyards, particleboard, urban wood waste, as well as other applications
•Low fiber losses
Precise Air Flow
Ideal for overthick slicing operations
Exact air flow control for superior separation efficiency allows the Acrowood Air Density Separator to easily remove knots and other contaminants.
One of the biggest dangers to pulp mill equipment is contamination from bits of wire and stones, nuts, bolts, and knots. Even pieces of brass, copper and nails can cause severe damage.
Removal By Air
An Acrowood Air Density Separator easily removes:
•Knots
•Stones
•Rocks
•Ice lumps
•Blacktop or pavement
•Bricks
•Metal
The Basic Principle
ADS systems operate on the basic principle that the density or weight of a contaminant is greater than the good oversize chips processed. But what makes a superior machine, an Acrowood machine, is the ability to create and control precise air movement in a larger separation area.
