anyone else here talk to IR guy?

More cool stuff.





The Kinetic Disintegrating System (KDS) is designed and manufactured to efficiently convert a variety of materials from approximately 1-1/2" or smaller feedstock to ultra fine 200-400 mesh particles at a rate of 4-10 tons per hour, depending on the material being processed. Applications for the KDS mill include glass, gypsum, rubber, wood, mineral rock, sludge and a wide variety of other solid or semi solid materials.

Kinetic Disintegrator Specifications



Dimensions Length Width Height

Floor Space 9'11"/ 3.02m 4'7"/ 1.4m N/A

Overall 14'/ 4.27m 7'1"/ 2.13m 16'3"/ 4.9m

Weight 9,200 lbs./ 4173 kg

Electrical 1 Drive Motor 480 V/ 150

1 Blower Motor 480 V/ 2hp

3 Accessory Motors 480 V/ 2hp

Maintenance: The KDS has been designed to require limited remedial maintenance; however, should parts become worn after lengthy operation, replacements are readily available and are often "off the shelf" acquisitions.

The following preventative maintenance schedule should be followed:

Item Description Period

2 Main Check Belt Tension Daily

3 Main Grease 2 Shaft Bearings Each Shift

4 Main Tighten Rubber Shaft Flange Monthly

5 Blower Grease 2 Motor Bearings Monthly

6 Classifier Grease 2 Motor Bearings Monthly

7 Classifier Grease 2 Motor Bearings Weekly

8 Classifier Check Belt Tension Monthly

9 Input Gate Grease 2 Motor Bearings Monthly

10 Input Gate Check Chain Tension Monthly

11 Input Gate Check Gearbox Oil Level Monthly

12 Input Gate Check Rubber Paddles 2 Months

13 Output Gate Grease 2 Motor Bearings Monthly

14 Output Gate Check Chain Tension Monthly

15 Output Gate Check Gearbox Oil Level Monthly

16 Output Gate Check Rubber Paddles 2 Months

A comprehensive maintenance manual will be supplied at purchase and our personnel will attend at start-up and provide on-site training to your staff.

Warranty: The Kinetic Disintegrator is fully warranted for a period of one year from the date of installation, plus a limited 3 year warranty is provided against all workmanship. All electrical components are warranted by the manufacturers*

* Warranty can be affected if the preventative maintenance schedule is not adhered to.

Operation
The raw material is dropped into the throat of the mill and passes through an air-lock gate value that eliminates blow-back and dust .

The material gravitates to the center of the KDS and is then subjected to a high frequency sonic wave of great amplitude that is mechanically induced.

A greater part of the material is broken down very rapidly within this area of the mill (the Taurus). The main drive motor is 150 HP.

The KDS uses air volume and pressure to move all material throughout the mill and this air is partially recycled. The balance of the make-up air is introduced from the atmosphere and air-conditioned to assist in dehydration and cooling the operation. The blower motor is 25 HP.

Air is injected into the Taurus at a rate of more than 7,000 cubic feet per minute and lifts the processed material to the classifier.

The classifier grades the material to the required size and passes finished material while rejecting oversize particles for re-processing. The classifier motor is 2 HP.

Finished material lifts out of the mill into the cyclone where air pressure decreases and allows the particles to fall out of suspension.

The air returns to the mill while the finished product falls through another air lock gate value to be packaged or placed in a bulk container.

Cost of Operation
As every installation is different and as power charges can vary from 1.5 cents to 15 cents per kWh, it is difficult to establish a set cost of operation to cover all locations. It is also noteworthy that through-put varies with different materials varies and this too will affect operation costs. We can offer the example of our Bakersfield, CA installation where our operating costs per ton are $16-18. (Note: this installation has two mills, automated bagging facilities and a power cost of 13 cents per kWh) You can calculate your power costs as follows (H.P. H.75 $kWh = cost/hour)

Note: Costs for material, bags, pallets, shrink wrap, material, etc. are in excess of this amount.

Shipping:
All KDSs are delivered F.O.B. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and costs of shipping are for the customer's account. The shipment includes: a KDS, a basic motor control center and the motors described earlier. Any additional equipment and cost of installation are billed to the customer's account. A KDS can be supplied within 30 days of order and takes about 3 days to install providing power etc. is readily available.


How much are these machines?
