Rag Tearer Silo

The rag tearer shredding silo charger is used for the feeding and dosing of tearing machines. It loads the shredding silo machine, to ensure storage can be achieved, and also provides a continuous and regular mixing and feeding of the tearing machines, supplying all manner of shredded textile waste, so as to ready the production line for the stuffing of recycling (recyclable) textile materials.

The system delivers great autonomy and production capacity, due to the high storage capability of the shredding silo machine and its ability to provide a continuous load that can be handled by the tearing machine.

The silo charger comes with a self-regulation electronic system, to govern the loading and unloading processes according to the production line requirements of which it forms a part. It consists of a vertical silo, a horizontal silo, discharger and a material compactor, which regulates the amount of matter to be loaded.

The process behind the shredding silo charger

Feeding is carried out through the pneumatic conveyor, which runs from the storage and mixture systems. The material is deposited in the vertical silo (1st silo), where it is decompressed by removing the excess air. After the material passes the horizontal silo (2nd silo), it encounters a conveyor belt in the lower part and it this that carries the material up to the discharger.

The discharger has a very large, high resistance, spiked conveyor, which discharges the material to the compactor. The dosing- compactor then regulates the thickness of the deposited material and the load that reaches the tearing machine table.

Models:

There are various models and versions of the shredding silo dosing charger, according to the tearing machine to be fed. These silo chargers are capable of handling working widths of up to 2,000 mm and storage capacities range from 5.6 to 12 m3.

Applications:

The shredding silo dosing-charger can work with all types of tearing machines, to further the mission of recycling, reusing, transforming and preparing regenerated fibres or stuffings. It can be used with:

  • natural fibres (cotton, jute, flax, hemp, esparto, sisal, wool)
  • synthetic fibres (nylon, polyester, acrylic)
  • nonwoven materials (wadding, felt, needle loom, heat-setting).

Feeder Silo

When it comes to the storage and distribution of many products, having the right silo is key. A feeder silo is predominantly part of the plant within those businesses where products are being recycled and ultimately reused, but we also offer silos such as rag-tearer silos.

Blending Silo

Blending silos and mixers serve various useful purposes on production lines and are great assets to have on the machine inventory, if you are manufacturing blended fabric.

Shredding Mill

The TR model range comprises industrial shredding mills, sized in widths of either 550mm or 870mm, which are high performance machines for the cutting, shredding, grinding, harrowing and tearing for all types of material.
