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. A compacidade do sistema permite flexibilidade en proxectos de instalación.
The belt and associated rollers are the only moving parts of the separator. Os electrodos son estacionarios e composta dun material adecuadamente resistente. O consumo de enerxía é de preto de 1 quilowatt-hora por tonelada de material procesado, with most of the power consumed by the two motors driving the belt.
O pequeno intervalo, alto campo eléctrico, 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.
