Fox System Better for Trim Waste
If you convert paper, film, foil, textile or nonwoven webs, you most likely deal with edge trim waste. DO NOT use air from your air compressor to pneumatically convey your waste edge trim. Compressed air is very expensive in energy consumption when compared to pneumatic supply from a blower.
In addition, compressed air is designed to power high pressure, low volume applications like air cylinders, air brakes or air shafts, for example. The relative high volume of air required to convey trim will cause your air compressor to run more than it should. Added costs of extra maintenance and ill effected areas of your operation due to the constant bleeding of compressed air to atmosphere will add up quickly.
Pneumatic trim and waste conveying systems, like FOX TrimAway incorporate energy frugal blowers that are designed, specifically for high volume applications. Bottom line, these systems are designed to run continuously, all-day, every-day with peak efficiency for moving waste material through duct, short or long distances. Additionally, FOX TrimAway offers various sizes from 1/2HP to 20HP systems. This ensures that system cost, performance, noise and energy consumption will be perfectly married to your application.
If you use compressed air to convey edge trim waste, STOP wasting energy and money, today. FOX TrimAway can help!
