News Flash: The Results are In:

As reported in the January/February 2011 edition of Resource Recycling, in 2009 Hawker Corporation participated in a research project with Okaloosa County, Florida to remove contaminants from processed yard and storm debris.

During the demonstration in 2009 the Airlift Separator and CEC Screening system processed aged material with compost characteristics. The larger material: overs, and smallest material: fines, were discharged during the screening process leaving the “middles” to be processed for decontamination.

Up against two competitors, The Airlift processed 134 yards per hour, removing 85% of plastic contaminants in comparison to the next closest competitor at 64 yards per hour removing 87% of the contaminants. With efficiency being the bottom line; it’s official, the Airlift Separator has proven to be successful without a decrease in production.

Testimonials

"We run the Airlift Separator on a CEC screen and it has definitely met our expectations. It did exactly what we were told it would do by cleaning up the plastic from our “middles.” It has made a product that was previously not marketable, due to plastic contamination, into a saleable product. We would recommend it to any processing site that has a problem with plastic contamination."

"The Airlift is a dynamite machine for its effectiveness in removing plastic from our wood waste. We make a quality product but continue to fight plastic contamination in our wood waste processing. The Airlift has made our product better, so much so that it has all but eliminated the frustration of having to deal with customer complaints regarding the contamination in our finished products."
