Applications for the elutriation system are virtually unlimited and it works with a wide variety of materials.
It can separate fiber, fines, powder, or streamers from plastic flake or pellets; fiber, metal, or fines from rubber; paper, film, or foam from granulated containers; metal, dirt, rocks, glass, and other contaminants from light weight regrind.
Its applications are endless and because the elutriator is designed to be user-friendly, only a few minor adjustments are required for months of uninterrupted, maintenance-free service.
Representative applications include plastic bottle recycling, carpet tiles, insulation (EVA backed), plastic bags and agricultural film, polystyrene foam, car dashboards, appliance liners, meat trays, floor sweepings, tires, garden/radiator/hydraulic hose, broadloom, cigarettes, yarn spools, and glass- and talc-filled plastic regrind.
Design And Operation
Designed for ease, efficiency and durability; the success of Sterling’s elutriation system comes from our exclusive elutriator.
Its unique design and ease of operation make it a highly efficient and reliable method for separating materials of varying bulk densities.
The elutriation system was designed to reduce the high maintenance and downtime usually associated with other air cleaning devices.
There are no high wear or costly replacement parts required.
Its functions include removing light weight contaminants from heavier material or heavy weight contaminants from lighter materials.
Its versatility and simplicity are quickly making elutriators an effective alternative to aspirators and classifiers.
