1.  TekniFlow

Patented multi-inlet scrap separation in a small package. Under-the-roof installation makes this unit a viable alternative to cyclone-type separators.

tekni2.GIF (27921 bytes)
2.  Cyclone

An industry workhorse, this separator is available in a large range of air volumes. Sufficient headroom must be considered for installation.

cyclone2.GIF (20379 bytes)
3.  TekiFlow Concentrator

Ideal for system expansion needs. Concentrators can reduce air volume in lightly loaded conveying lines, and reduce the amount of air going to a primary separator.

concen.GIF (28859 bytes)
4.  Afterfilter

Simple and economic return-air filtering. Fabric bag-type filters are manually cleaned by "shaking." Ducting of return-air back into a plant has numerous benefits.

filter2.GIF (25055 bytes)
5.  H.T.F.

An afterfilter with cartridge-type filtering and automatic pulsed-air cleaning. Filter changeouts are quick and easy. Units are compact and install in low headroom areas.

HTF.GIF (22855 bytes)
6.  Balers and Compactors

The final step in any scrap handling operation. Proper size-matching with the pneumatic conveying system is important. Varying levels of automation are available.

baler2.GIF (23805 bytes)
7.  Bale Transfer Unit

An ideal solution to tight bale-room layouts where conventional conveyor arrangements are constrained. Allows further automation of scrap-bale handling.

btransf2.GIF (16330 bytes)
8.  Rotary Lock

Where turbulent air discharge is problematic, rotating blades form a seal to the baling device. Also available are double flapper-type valves with automatic timers.

r-lock3.GIF (14728 bytes)
9.  Automatic Discharge Pressure Control

A totally air balanced material discharge method for separator outlets. Particularly useful in TekniFlow installations.

pressure.GIF (29893 bytes)
10.  Floorsweep Shredder

An economical method of keeping bale room areas clean. These units allow larger scrap to be broken down and introduced into the pneumatic conveying system.

shred6.GIF (16475 bytes)
11.  Full Sheet Shredder

A larger capacity shredder for efficient reduction of sheet type scrap. Belt feeds reduce operator caused plug-ups and improve worker safety.

Shred1.GIF (28114 bytes)
12.  High-Capacity Shredder

In the most demanding scrap reduction applications, these high horsepower units handle very large quantities of material safely and quickly.

shred4.GIF (28270 bytes)
13.  Chopper

Rotary knives cut continuous machine-fed trim to a size that will convey in the air system. Units can be matched to line speeds and material weights.

Back to the list

chopper.GIF (29140 bytes)
14.  Control Systems

Useful for system automation, detection, warnings, and operator interfaces. PLCs can be added for more complex control requirements.

Back to the list

c-panel.GIF (24439 bytes)
15.  Conveyors

A somewhat slower but sometimes necessary step in scrap transfer. Various types include belt, roller, powered and unpowered, inclined, and curved.

Back to the list

convey3.GIF (12937 bytes)
16.  Material Handling Fan

The key component in many pneumatic conveying systems. Proper construction and sizing are critical for proper flow and pickup of scrap material.

Back to the list

mh-fan.GIF (30330 bytes)
17.  Return Air Fan

For transport of dusty air that a separator won’t remove, these fans come in various configurations such as centrifugal, duct-axial, and vaneaxial.

Back to the list

cntr-fan.GIF (31568 bytes)
18.  Return-Air Bypass

Diverting of return-air can be useful in both maintenance and climate control situations. Available in manual and automatic configurations.

Back to the list

bypass.GIF (26976 bytes)
19.  Hooding and Floorsweeps

Properly designed and fabricated inlet fittings can make the difference between operator frustration or troublefree performance.

Back to the list

hood.GIF (27765 bytes)
20.  Switchvalve

Streamlined internal components allow snag-free operation. Useful in multiple scraps, segregation, or line switching. Manual, pneumatic, or electric operators.

Back to the list

s-valve.GIF (32018 bytes)
21.  Gatevalve

An economical way of increasing system capacity when scrap sources are not in continual use. Switching can be automated with timers or manually activated.

Back to the list

g-valve.GIF (18925 bytes)
22.  Air Bleed

The air-bleed is one tool in the arsenal of proper material handling ducting design. Allows constant velocity ducting and relief of pressure impulses.
