Doyle Bros Air Sorting Success

With limited space in their existing building, Doyle Bros turned to Westeria to meet their separation requirements.

An AIRSTAR 1500 – L1 , short chamber with 20° inclination, was installed to sort heavy material (metals, glass, stones, etc.) before the material goes forward an to NIR machine. A high speed secondary shredder that follows needs to be protected against these heavy materials.

The addition of the AIRWHEEL 15, an air filter for trapping and separating light material such as film plastics, makes the extreme short design possible by guaranteeing that light material is separated out and only fine (4mm minus) particles reach the baghouse, serving as a protection device for the baghouse.

Conveyor for pre screened material feeding the AIRSTAR

After a pre screening step through SPALECK screen, which removes 0-30mm material, the Doyle Bros machine can handle up to 150m³ of material per hour.  

The material separation after the AIRSTAR™ and AIRWHEEL™ combination is near perfect, allowing the light fraction conveyor to directly feed the acceleration conveyor into the NIR.
