Sterling Blower > Products & Services > Elutriation System

In staying in step with Post Consumer Plastics Recycling, our Elutriator is a highly efficient, reliable method for separating material of varying bulk density. Its functions include separating light-weight contaminants from heavier material or heavy-weight contaminants from lighter material. From PET Bottle Recycling to Carpet Recycling or Plastics Recycling, we’ve got you covered.

We’ve designed the system to incorporate “simplicity of operation” with “set and lock” inlet gate features to control material flow and separation. The system can be fed directly from a granulator, bin, or other source, eliminating the need for airlock valves, screeners, or other costly, high-maintenance mechanical equipment. It can even be integrated with your existing granulator / blower systems. Because the components of the Elutriation system are modular, we can design a custom layout, utilizing the space that is available to you.
