With the development of the new ASK.AH suction box, Siloanlagen Achberg offers the possibility to remove angel hair from plastic granulate silos. A drawer with grid sieve located in the suction box retains the angel hair. Simple emptying of the grid sieve is possible by removing the drawer.
Angel hair occurs during the pneumatic conveying of plastic granulates when the plastic granulate is damaged on the surface during transport through the conveying lines. The initially slight damage, supported by a high conveying speed and conveying air temperature, forms long plastic threads. These can lead to problems during further processing of the plastic granulate.
The new suction box with angel hair grid is attached to the outlet of silos or flexible silos. The unwanted angel hair is held back by a grid (angel hair grid) integrated in the flow, which is fixed in a lockable drawer with sight glass. To empty the grid, the drawer can be pulled out and the angel hair can be removed.
