De-Stoner - Dual-Knife Air Classifier
The General Kinematics Dual Knife De-Stoner is a performance-proven method of separation and classification for a wide range of recycled materials. How the De-Stoner works, Energy-efficient vibratory action and high velocity, low pressure air streams work in tandem to fluidize and stratify commingled materials according to differences in terminal particle velocity. Many De-Stoner systems are designed with `air curtains` to provide further separation after the initial cut of `heavies`. The result: fast, efficient removal of heavy materials such as stones, metallics, and glass from lightweight materials such as aluminium, paper, plastics and wood.
Simple, dependable dry system
Our economical, completely dry De-Stoner system eliminates the need for a water supply and other attendant "wet" system problems. However, the De-Stoner can easily handle moist materials.
True Dual Knife System
The Dual-Knife De-Stoner separates material using two air knifes, creating a cleaner product for C&D and other mixed, high volume material. Units can also include pre-classification and fluidization sections for additional material separation, providing a cleaner, higher value heavy and light material separation.
- De-Stoners use air instead of water to separate heavy product from light product, eliminating the mess and environmental hazards water separation creates.
- Virtually jam-proof design with no moving separator parts.
- Inherently simple, fully isolated design minimizes foundation requirements.
- Versatile design separates material of different density, or equal densities with varying particle size.
- De-Stoner driven by energy efficient low horsepower motor.
- Rugged, heavy duty construction withstands 24-hour operation.
