CRIPPEN “TRU-SPHERE” BELT SEPARATOR
Crippen’s Tru-Sphere Belt Separator provides a unique separation according to shape of product. Spherical shaped particles are separated from non-spherical particles with the use of special pitched conveying belts. Unit provides a uniform feed to each belt with an adjustable vibratory feed system. Spherical shaped particles roll towards the lower end of the conveying belt where strategically located discharge spouts with cutting fingers adjust the amount of product being directed to the discharge area. The irregular shaped particles travel beyond the discharge area to the rail side and are carried to a special discharge. Particles with flat edges (splits, stones, mud balls, etc.) upon introduction to the belt will lie down and travel to the end of the belt into a separate discharge. A typical separation would be edible soybeans for markets where a uniform shaped product is preferred.
