Blog / Shell Press Extraction and Sweep Up Hopper System
26 AUGUST 2022
The shell trim system is positioned near the key waste generated area for the steel press system. The ducting system connected to the main header has rotation capabilities enabling easy access for maintenance. The ducting is connected to the primary header system that leads back to waste handling fans, which creates the correct volume, pressure, and conveying velocity within the system to keep the trim waste moving, enabling the waste removal system to remove the material from the source rapidly.
When required, the hopper system takes the imperfect containers through the ducting to the scrap conveyance system.
The noise levels were carefully considered, with extensive attenuation designed into the system. Our scrap conveyance system’s operating noise levels were kept below the required (permissible) levels. Space for future lines and growth on our system makes it quick and easy to extend the extraction when development comes. Separating the trim and hopper systems saves energy and keeps running costs down. Adding the moving ducting next to the Shell item system enables quick and efficient access for maintenance when required having minimal impact on the day to day running. The clients were pleased with the system as it runs efficiently, saves money and potential time for maintenance.
