  General Kinematics’ Vibratory Process Equipment is engineered for specific material and process objectives. A review of the process objectives with the end user enables GK Engineers to identify the most appropriate Vibratory Technology for the process. Product feed temperatures, moisture content, drying and cooling rates, temperature sensitivity, as well as particle size and shape […]

Separating recyclables by density is nothing new. For many years, the use of wet tanks to remove heavy materials from lights has been very successful. Unfortunately, the disadvantages of this technology are increasingly apparent. With stringent and increasing environmental regulations, use of water quickly becomes a messy proposition. When material enters a wet tank, any […]

While most people think about the construction industry when they hear the word aggregate, the truth is that nearly every product manufactured contains one or more aggregates as their base ingredient. There are even some aggregates — such as barite, bentonite, and calcite – that are valuable to the medical and health industries. Aggregates are […]

What is the perfect sorting system? Do you offer the best solution for every material stream? Can you effectively manufacture and support every piece of equipment your customers demand? While there may be no perfect single solution, together we can offer the best possible option for the widest variety of applications as well as offer […]

In the increasingly vital struggle to capture recyclable materials, automobiles and major appliances represent a treasure trove of metals. But these larger, heavy duty items have proven a difficult part of the recycling process. It takes a lot of force to break down these goods for recycling and the machines that do that work are […]
