The ST separator is relatively compact. Designed to process up to 40 tonnes per hour, the machine is approximately 9.1 meters long, 1.7 meters wide and 3.2 meters high. Systemets kompakthed giver mulighed for fleksibilitet i installationsdesign.
The belt and associated rollers are the only moving parts of the separator. Elektroderne er stationære og består af en passende holdbart materiale. Strømforbruget er ca. 1 kilowatt-time pr. ton forarbejdet materiale, with most of the power consumed by the two motors driving the belt.
Det lille hul, højt elektrisk felt, counter-current flow, vigorous particle-particle agitation and self-cleaning action of the belt on the electrodes are the critical features of the ST separator. Through charging /recharging and internal recycle, the separator achieves superior high efficiency multi-stage separations. It is effective on fine materials that cannot be separated by conventional techniques.
