A manufacturer of glass processing equipment provides technology based on non-intrusive optical sorting of glass cullet. In order for the optical glass sorters to deliver high quality furnace ready cullet with optimum yield recovery, the sorters require a consistent, even distribution to each of the 5 sorters. The company approached General Kinematics looking for a conveyor capable of distributing 20 TPH of glass cullet evenly into 5 separate lanes that fed the optical sorters below. Key to the project was the elimination of any vibration transmission to the optical sorters as this would compromise the effectiveness of the sorters. Other factors to be considered were the abrasiveness of the cullet & ease of replace ability of liners.
