THE AEROCYCLE SYSTEM

NEW Containerised Multifeed

Aerosol Recycling System


Patent pending (all foreign rights reserved).

Working Methodology:
  • Hopper fed either manually, bin lift or bucket.
  • Conveyor feeds on a stop/start basis into the container chute.
  • The aerosols fall into the lidded crushing chamber.
  • The 20 tonne hydraulic ram crushes the aerosols releasing both contents and propellant.
  • The contents and propellant drop into a stainless steel tray.
  • The contents are then extracted into the filtration system outside the container. Complete VOC capture system available.
  • The propellant is extracted from the container via steel pipes and exits the container passing through a carbon filter sited on the top of the unit.
  • The contents are filtered through a pumped tray system returning for re-use. The washing out liquid varies and remains suitable to the aerosols being treated.
  • The crushed cans are expressed from the crushing chamber and pushed up a stainless steel chute whilst being washed for at least five minutes before exiting the chamber.
  • Once outside the chamber the cans in briquette-form can be stacked for metal recycling or simply tipped into a tipping skip and into the general metal recycling skip.
  • There is a fire suppressant system installed inside the container which is temperature activated and very quickly can dispel any fire/smoke hazards that may occur.

FAIL SAFE DEVICES:  These are all controlled by the central control panel and will activate immediate shut down should the machine pumps fail, blockages of product occur, differential between input and output in filtration unit, or temperature rise above the desired setting. Emergency stop buttons are located outside and inside the container.

There are NO exposed moving parts within the container. Aid safety in use!
