Dilute phase pneumatic conveying system

centralizedaspirationfor waste

Overview Paramount defines "dry waste" as any waste material generated from a non-wet process that can be efficiently and reliably extracted and conveyed through an air-driven, enclosed ductwork system or a mechanical transfer system. Typical materials include paper, tissue, board, wood, foils, plastics and rubbers. The scope of dry-waste handling grows with recycling requirements and manufacturing cost-reduction initiatives.

Benefits and Objectives The system approach reduces manual handling and internal transport of mixed waste by enabling separation at source, size reduction, conveying to a central waste area, compaction and preparation for recycling. Objectives include increasing recycling revenue, lowering labour costs, freeing production floor space and improving safety and environmental compliance.

System Description Waste extraction solutions are configurable for diverse manufacturing and assembly operations. Where particle or piece size prevents direct duct conveying, size-reduction units (shredders, choppers) are integrated to permit smaller, lower-cost conveying systems. Separation of solids from the conveying air stream is achieved with cyclones, rotary separators, filters, compactors and briquetters. Compactors and briquetters perform end-of-line consolidation within an enclosed system to minimise spillage. Filter units clean conveying air and can enable heat recovery or controlled air recirculation.

Collection Methods and On-floor Solutions Paramount supplies multiple on-machine and on-floor collection options: suction hoods mounted above or below operators or equipment, flexible mobile pick-ups for manual repositioning, rigid floor sweep and guide devices, and underfloor rotufeeder solutions. Automated internal transport options move separated waste reliably to collection points without labour input.
