De-Stoner - Triple-Knife Air Classifier
Maximize automated air classification with General Kinematics all new Triple-Knife De-Stoner Air Classifier. The patent pending Triple-Knife De-Stoner creates up to three distinct material cuts… heavies, lights, and ultra lights, for maximum material reclamation. 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 system problems found with wet tanks and other water based separation systems. However, the De-Stoner can easily handle moist materials.
The Triple-Knife De-Stoner separates material using two air knifes on the interior of the machine and a third knife located at the outlet, creating a cleaner product for C&D and other mixed, high volume waste materials. Units can also include pre-classification and fluidization sections for additional material separation, providing a cleaner, higher value heavy and light material.
Existing Dual-Knife De-Stoners can benefit from an upgrade to the triple-knife for further separation of materials like light wood from light paper. Upgrades are an easy weld-on attachment.

- Triple-Knife De-Stoner makes at least three distinct classifications... heavies, lights, and ultra lights.
- Optional pre-screening sections can be included to remove fines or other sized material.
- 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.
