Design Specifications

The area required for installation is 4 m x  6m. The Micro-Sizer has 11 rotors that operate at a rotation speed of 1800 rpm.It has a gross weight of 2000 Kg and air input of 50 m2/m, producing noise less than 85 Decibel. The diameter of the rotor is 610 mm, the belt size is 2000 mm and has an IN-let size of 170 mm.The material of the internal part is more wear-resistant than iron and aluminum. This special material is long-lasting and therefore reduces the operating cost in a longer perspective. In terms of volume, Micro-Sizer can produce about 2 ton of glass cullet per hour. Micro-Sizer can crush glass (i.e. glass bottles) into glass cullet (size is between 0.05mm and 5.00mm) by separating impurities such as caps and labels. Also, Micro-Sizer can eliminate liquid, smell of alchol, sugar and salt content during the crushing process.
