Abstract
An airflow system for a waste conveyor, having a conveyor enclosure with a bottom side configured for being mounted above a conveyor surface. One or more air flow unit enclosures are mounted to the conveyor enclosure. Each air flow unit enclosure has a divergent channel with a channel intake end fluidly connected to the air exhaust and a channel discharge end configured for providing a stream of air (Q) toward the conveyor surface. The divergent channel has a widening cross section (Xd) in a downstream air direction (D) between the channel intake end and the channel discharge end of the divergent channel, and is arranged at an angle (α) larger than 0° and smaller than 45° degrees with respect to the bottom side of the conveyor enclosure.
Claims14
An air flow system for a waste conveyor, comprising a conveyor enclosure having a bottom side configured for being mounted above a conveyor surface at a predetermined surface clearance;
- one or more air flow unit enclosures mounted to the conveyor enclosure, wherein each of the air flow unit enclosures comprises an air flow unit having an air intake and air exhaust,
- wherein each of the air flow unit enclosures comprises a divergent channel having a channel intake end fluidly connected to the air exhaust and a channel discharge end configured for providing a stream of air toward the conveyor surface,
- wherein the divergent channel comprises a widening cross section in a downstream air direction between the channel intake end and the channel discharge end of the divergent channel, and wherein the divergent channel is arranged at an angle larger than 0° and smaller than 45° with respect to the bottom side of the conveyor enclosure.
