For separation of dense particles from plastic media, stones, metallic items.  Other heavier blasting media mixed with plastic media will damage light gauge structures, shatter glass, and cause stress failure.

The high density particle separator removes contaminants from the recycled plastic media.  For some applications, the standard plastic media recovery system utilizing a cyclone separator is acceptable.  However, air craft stripping, light gauge metal, aluminum, fiberglass, and other fragile surfaces require the high density particle separator.  

In addition to the standard plastic media reclaim system with cyclone separator, this system incorporates a removable plate magnetic separator, rotary bin lock, three stage vibratory screen separator, dense particle separator with two stage aerated bed.  "Fluidizing" the material separates stones, grit, etc. from the lighter plastic media.  A simple system designed for continuous trouble free operation.  Cleaned media is deposited directly to blast machine, no need for additional storage hoppers, reclaim systems, etc.

Standard with 6 cu. ft.  blast machine.
