Air Density Separator (ADS)

Jeffrey Rader’s Air Density Separators (ADS) are engineered for optimal efficiency and versatility, safeguarding chip conditioners, slicers, and pulp mill equipment. Featuring a unique control system, ADS creates a controlled separation zone using air curtains to efficiently remove rocks, knots, and debris while directing accepts to a cyclone, enhancing pulping and reducing rejects. Customizable to specific process needs, ADS minimizes energy use, offers equipment placement flexibility, and is ideal for wood handling, pulp and paper, and refuse/resource recovery industries, ensuring efficient separation for diverse applications.

Features/Advantages

• Pioneering Technology: Jeffrey Rader is a leader in chip processing technology, with over 40 years of experience.
• Vacuum Air System: Utilizes vacuum air systems to effectively remove chip contaminants like rocks, knots, and metal.
