Aerosol shredder unit ASU-500
Aerosol shredder system
Aerosol shredder unit ASU-500 removes the metals plastics and liquids and separates them.
The Aerosol shredder unit ASU-500 shreds the cans and under Vacuum blow removes VOC. The liquid and metal drop to the lower chamber where the liquids are pumped off and the metal is removed by conveyed- augured to holding customer bin.
The cans are loaded into the large 1- 1-cubic yard hopper. The hopper lid closes, and the operator hits the start button to activate the system. The PLC does self-diagnostic of the system safeties and if all is ensured the system starts the nitrogen purge to remove (1 of 3) items that can cause a fire (link purge).
Once the Aerosol shredder unit ASU-500 can shredder finished the (n2) purge the system starts to shred the cans into 1 wide x 2 to 4-inch-long strips.
The liquids as they drop into the lower chamber are pneumatically pumped out to customers holding drums or tote tanks. the air pump is protected with a basket strainer inline to ensure that large materials protect the pump from metal going through them.
The Vacuum blower removes vapors from the shredding chamber and sends them to Carbon beds or customers’ thermal oxidizers where they can be captured or burnt off. The vacuum blower draws a negative on the system.
The aerosol cans hopper on the ASU-500 can hold an estimated around 520 Cans in the hopper. This allows for a longer time between loading for the operator to set up the next load. The system will dump the metals in the bottom draw where customers can pull out the draw and dump the cans out the bottom.
Options that can be added to the aerosol separation system.
Auger removal system will move the metals and plastics to an elevated area so that the shredded materials can be dumped into large bins.
- Nitrogen generator sized to equipment is offered. This comes with one generator and a 60 USG tank receiver.
- LEL sensors for Carbon bed exhaust stack. This is to ensure that the carbon bed once saturated does not let VOC escape from the drum or tank carbon bed used.
