VIBRATING FEEDERS

Vibrating Feeders. General Kinematics Two-Mass Vibratory Feeders are ruggedly designed for the most demanding applications. This load responsive design takes on even the most challenging material load surges to keep your process flowing smoothly. The low maintenance high uptime design alleviates maintenance headaches and increases

processing power.

HOW TO KEEP COSTS DOWN IN THE FOUNDRY 1. Increase operating hours. Higher uptime is often associated with employee dissatisfaction, lower equipment performance, and higher collateral costs. In a foundry, the opposite is actually true. Provided it is implemented with effective management and employee protection, around-the-clock operations can reduce overall costs. HOW TO INSTALL SLATS The outermost bracket faces between the top and bottom brackets and must be parallel and in the same plane. 2.) Use a straight edge to ensure proper slat bar alignment the clamp bars on the top assembly must be parallel and on the same plane as the bottom clamp bars. 3.) Adjust the assembly until it is properly oriented. 4.) Tighten the

bolts. 5.)

INSTALLATION PREPARATION CHECKLIST Improper installation of new vibratory equipment can be a chronic source of downtime, reduced capacity, and high operating costs. Proper planning for your equipment installation can help prevent many of these issues, but high-quality manufacturing and installation services are just as important. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROTARY AND VIBRATORY DRUM When it comes to choosing the optimal drum technology for your foundry, there are two basic options available to foundries: vibratory drumsand rotary drums. Both technologies offer advantages in certain applications, and disadvantages in others. OPEN-LOOP VS CLOSED-LOOP RECYCLING Open-loop recycling is a recycling process that postpones disposal through converting manufactured goods into both new raw materials (which can be used as production inputs) and waste products. Closed-loop recycling, on the other hand, is a recycling process through which a manufactured good is recycled back into itself or a

THE FUTURE OF ROBOTICS IN WASTE SORTING The future is here Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are reaching the capabilities that the media has romanticized for years. Simple robotic arms used for repetitive functions have been a staple of the manufacturing industry since their introduction in the early 1960s.Fast forward nearly 60 years later, manufacturing and other industrial processes are about to take another significant leap WHAT HAPPENS TO WTE INCINERATION ASH? What is Incineration Ash? Waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration is the process of burning waste materials to produce heat that can thereafter be used to evaporate water and generate steam. As in coal and nuclear energy generation processes, that steam can be used to power a steam turbine which in turn generates electrical energy. THE LIFE CYCLE OF A CAN The Life Cycle of a Can. Aluminum is one of the most commonly recycled metals in the country. It’s also 100% recyclable: it doesn’t lose any integrity or quality in the process. An incredible 75% of all aluminum that has ever been produced is still in use today. Before an aluminum can is recycled for reuse, it goes through a long and HOW TO START A RECYCLING BUSINESS: COST AND ALL A recycling program provides a service to the community, while also proving a profitable business when done well. With space, equipment, and crew, the start-up costs of a full force recycling program can be cost-prohibitive, which makes it difficult to get much-needed programs in place in many municipalities. UDI IMPLEMENTATION TIPS AND GDSN DATA MANAGEMENT The FINGER-SCREEN™ vibratory screener is a patented, non-binding design concept for resource recovery. Our vibratory screeners can be used to separate materials by size, removing small particles from large objects. This process makes it easy for sizing and classifying a wide variety of materials, completing the work of several people in a reduced amount of time. MONITORING YOUR MINING EQUIPMENT FOR WORKER SAFETY One way to improve mining safety is to use advanced monitoring equipment like the VERTEX, which detects potential equipment problems and alerts team members of sudden failures.

HOW ALUMINUM RECYCLING IS CHANGING THE AUTO INDUSTRY Makers saved $124 per pickup truck compared to traditional recycling methods, and decreased the total per-truck bill by $750 in the switch to aluminum, notes an article on Car and Driver.

SAND CLASSIFIERS

General Kinematics sand classifiers sort sand by grain size. Classifiers separate sand by grades, remove dust, and discard waste sand. The remaining “good” sand is distributed by grain size, then can be discharged to be remixed into the AFS required for your process. Air flow is recirculated, reducing bag house requirements. Features: Classifies granular materials GENERAL KINEMATICS PLASTIC / SCOTCHPLY / FIBERGLASS General Kinematics plastic, scotchply, fiberglass, or steel slats help guide your vibratory machine while providing the vibrating spring rate required to move your machine. Slats are engineered for your application and can be supplied as a stand-alone slat or as an entire kit including hardware and spacers.

WHY DO YOU LIKE GK?

_We appreciate all the help that General Kinematics has given us towards design our reclamation system. All of the pieces are staring to come together we are very excited to see the final result once we get our system up and running._ Brad Moore, Project Manager, Badger Alloys _Where can you go buy a used piece of equipment? Not touch it, set it up, and have it run for three years? We've replaced two belts, two springs, and a rocker arm - that's it. It's built to last._ Ron Tazelaar, TAZ Recycling _Two of our plants have GK screens running 20 hrs/day, 6 days/week. GK’s robust design has translated into minimal downtime. Our maintenance guys love it. The screens have performed fantastically and are a critical part of our manufacturing process._ Rashid Shakir, Dir. of Engineering American Wood Fibers _I would like to express my appreciation to all of those who put forth their best efforts to make the mold dump replacement project successful. We started up the conveyor this morning on time and it performs just as expected. There is good mold separation along the conveyor, the current readings are good, and the unit runs quiet and level. Everything we expected to see. Thank you!_ _We appreciate all the help that General Kinematics has given us towards design our reclamation system.
