AIR KNIFE SEPARATION FEATURES • The material enters the Air knife via conveyers and heavier materials, (rock, metal etc.) drops off onto conveyers positioned accordingly. • A high velocity stream of air through which the falling materials has to travel, redirects the lighter material from the waste stream. • The lighter materials are separated from the falling waste stream and captured by the extraction hood. • The heavier materials fractions are impervious to the incoming air stream and so are unaffected and simply continue to fall on to the next stage of the screening. • They include an input air volume fed through a modifiable nozzle, complemented with an extraction hood. BENEFITS • An air knife is beneficial to any Material Recycling Facility (MRF) as it makes the remaining manual sorting a quicker process and as a result cheaper running costs. • An air knife can be installed anywhere in a MRF • We can tailor solutions from a broad range of air and suction systems, including Fan blowers, • Air knives and sophisticated suction systems to remove lightweight material from the waste stream and ensure a clean marketable end product. EMS ltd’s air knife is a tool used to blow off liquid or debris from products as they travel on conveyors. Air knives are normally used in manufacturing or as the first step in a recursive recycling process to separate lighter or smaller particles from other components for use in later or subsequent steps, part of component cleaning. The knife consists of a high intensity, uniform sheet of laminar airflow sometimes known as streamline flow.

AIR KNIFE SEPARATION

FEATURES• The material enters the Air knife via conveyers and heavier materials, (rock, metal etc.) drops off onto conveyers positioned accordingly.• A high velocity stream of air through which the falling materials has to travel, redirects the lighter material from the waste stream.• The lighter materials are separated from the falling waste stream and captured by the extraction hood.• The heavier materials fractions are impervious to the incoming air stream and so are unaffected and simply continue to fall on to the next stage of the screening.• They include an input air volume fed through a modifiable nozzle, complemented with an

extraction hood.
