Diamond deck classifier design makes blockages easy to find
The Witte Co.
A new, diamond, double-deck plastic-pellet classifier design (photo) features diamond-shaped openings in the first stage “overs” screening deck that provide constant access to the pellet flow in the second stage “overs” screening deck below to monitor the flow during operation. Any blockages cay be quickly found and removed. Available on the company’s 700 Series classifiers, the diamond, double-deck design screens the product twice through dual, perforated decks for superior removal of off-spec pellets, while the company’s proprietary vibratory technology quiets the pellets into a single layer to help prevent “short-longs” (pellets that meet diameter specifications, but not length) from contaminating the end product. — The Witte Co., Washington, N.J.
