Archimedys™ equipped for ash recovery.
Cendres+Métaux Refining, a company specializing in the recovery of precious metals, has chosen Archimedys™ to equip its facilities.
No more problems with steel screws
The refined metals have a very high purity of 999.9 ‰. To achieve this purity the raw materials are pyrolised and the residual ash then undergoes chemical purification treatments. The steel screws used posed problems of iron pollution during the transport stages. Pollution resulting from the abrasion of ash on the screws. Archimedys™ eliminates this problem thanks to the polymer used in its manufacture. The modular screws installed, combined with a plastic tube system, prevent iron pollution at all stages of ash transfer. Archimedys™ thus contributes to guaranteeing the quality of our customer's production.
Optimum configuration for our customer
The Archimedys Archimedys™ DN102 (4'') system with 100 mm pitch was used on two cascading screws to bring the ashes from the dust collector to the storage and chemical chemical treatment.
Featuring a simple, compact design, the Archimedys™ screw is lighter than a steel screw. A greatly facilitated installation in the difficult-to-access workshop. The Archimedys screw is simply built, without any welding, by assembling standard modules along an axis, directly at the point of use.
Easy maintenance
The optimization of the process for recovering precious metal-rich volatile ash was carried out directly by the maintenance department, who were able to build an all-plastic all-plastic conveyor.
In the event of an incident, only damaged modules are replaced and returned to the axis without having to replace the screw. Maintenance operations are simpler and faster. Maintenance costs and times are reduced.
Archimedys™, a technological revolution
The advantages of the Archimedys™ modular screw are such that every day more and more manufacturers decide to abandon steel in favor of the Archimedys system. This is truly truly a technological revolution in bulk material conveying. of bulk products.
