Abstract
A decoating system includes a dust cyclone and cooled conveyor. The dust cyclone is configured to receive an exhaust gas from a decoating kiln, filter organic particulate matter from the exhaust gas as dust, and discharge the dust at a discharge temperature. The cooled conveyor is configured to receive the dust from the dust cyclone and cool the dust to a dust processing temperature that is less than the spontaneous reaction temperature.
Claims15
A decoating system comprising:
- a dust cyclone configured to:
- receive an exhaust gas from a decoating kiln;
- filter organic particulate matter from the exhaust gas as dust;
- and
- discharge the dust at a cyclone discharge temperature;
- and
- a cooled conveyor comprising a screw rotatably positioned in a trough, wherein at least one of the screw or the trough is internally cooled with a coolant, and wherein the cooled conveyor is configured to:
- receive the dust from the dust cyclone;
- and
- cool the dust to a dust processing temperature that is less than the cyclone discharge temperature.
