After Retrofit - Eductor

Typical applications are found in the following industries:

  • Foundries – Eliminating screw conveyors and dense phase systems handling foundry dust and sand
  • Power – Conveying sorbents ( limestone, CaCO3, MgO), coal, ash
  • Building Materials – Fiberglass, gypsum, sand, roofing tiles
  • Ceramics/Tiles – Conveying sand, grout components, aggregate
  • Cement – Reclaim from dust collectors, aggregate, additives.
  • Plastic Compounding – Conveying pellets filled with as much as 50% fiberglass
  • Mining – Handling hot product from calciners, dust
  • Glass – Handling silica, glass frit

Many of our Case Studies illustrate important advantages of conveying abrasives with Fox eductors.
