Central Waste Room Equipment This is the heart of an Abingtion system. A multi-stage vacuum system using centrifugal exhausters draws the wastes to this room. This type system provides:
The wastes arrive in two forms: bulky fibrous wastes collected from production equipment, automatic filter bags, and manual inlets, and stripper dust from plant filtration systems. Fiber wastes are fed into twin primary separator receivers with automatic discharge. This arrangement allows continuous operation because one receiver is always on-line while the other is emptying into a waste receptacle. Separator screens are self-cleaned by a patented rotating compressed air mechanism. The screens can be easily removed if required for maintenance. The Abington supplied baler (pictured) is a flexible and convenient waste receptacle. Different models are available, producing bales weighing 500 - 750 lbs. Standard size bales are made in the horizontal baler for lay-down recycling, blending, storage for future use, resale, or disposal. Automatic and semi-automatic models are available including vertical units for bailing wire ties, bale covers, and other purposes. Stripper dust and dust not captured by the primary separator are fed to a Fine Dust Filter (pictured). This is a self-cleaning bag filter that incorporates centrifugal action to separate out heavier particles while collecting fine dust on the bags. The bags
Waste room and mill automatic valve timing and functions are controlled by an Abington programmable controller (pictured). Reliable and flexible, these controls can accommodate future system expansion and sequence changes. Manual override and key switches permit fine tuning for anticipated variations and servicing. Alarm functions can be built in including fire detection and extinguishing routines. Special cycles can manage heavy loads at selected automatic pick-up stations.
