The fundamental details of the STET separator areWladyslaw
illustrated below.
(Laddy)The particles are charged by the triboelectric effect through particle-to-particle
collisions within the gap between the electrodes. The applied voltage between the electrodes is between ±4 and ±10 kV relative to ground, giving a

the positively charged electrode, and a positively charged particle stream collected on the negatively charged electrode. The products are conveyed

to the respective hoppers at each end of the STET separator by the separator belt, and fall out of the separator by gravity. The STET separator does not

produce a middlings or recycle stream, although multiple pass con gurations to improve product purity and/or recovery are possible.

Particles are conveyed through the electrode gap (separation zone) by a continuous loop, open mesh belt. The belt operates at high speed. The Privacidad - Condiciones

geometry of the belt serves to sweep ne particles off the surface of the electrodes, preventing the accumulation of ne particles that degrades the
performance and voltage eld of traditional free fall parallel plate type separation devices. In addition, the belt generates a high sheer, high
/
turbulence zone between the two electrodes, promoting tribo-charging. The counter-current travel of the separator belt allows for continuous
charging and re-charging or particles within the separator, eliminating the need for a pre-charging system upstream of the STET separator. The STET
separator is a high feed rate, commercially proven processing system. The maximum processing capacity of the STET separator is mostly a function

of the volumetric feed rate that can be conveyed through the electrode gap by the STET separator belt. Other variables, such as the speed of the belt,
the distance between the electrodes and the aerated density of the powder effect the maximum feed rate, typically to a lesser extent. For relatively

high density materials, for example y ash, the maximum processing rate of a 42 inch (106 cm) electrode width commercial separation unit is roughly
40 – 45 Tons per hour of feed. For less dense feed materials, the maximum feed rate is lower.

Feed Material Approximate Compacted Bulk Density Approximate STET 42 Inch Separator Maximum Feed Rate

Fly Ash 60 – 80 pound/ft 3 (1000 –1300 kg/m3) 40 – 45 Ton per hour

Talc 30 – 40 pounds/ft 3 (500 – 600 kg/m3) 15 – 20 Ton per hour

Wheat Flour 30 – 40 pounds/ft 3 (500 – 600 kg/m3) 15 – 20 Ton per hour

The STET separator provides end users with adjustable control of product quality, and can be integrated into existing process owsheets. In addition,

the STET separator has multiple automation options:
