PROBLEM: Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Utility was faced with a problem. When their decades old sewage sludge incinerator’s wet ash handling system required replacement they decided to go to a dry ash system. Arrangements were made to truck the ash to a disposal facility that could recycle it for use as a soil conditioner. A dry system to handle the ash without slurry water was required. In the design of the system it was decided that an ash crusher was necessary in order to transport the material using pneumatics.

During the process of incinerating sewage sludge, “clinkers” of varying hardness and sizes occasionally form in the ash stream.. It was important to reduce the size of these clinkers. The machine would be subject to an extremely abrasive service and have to operate under high temperature conditions. It would be necessary to reduce the ash to a required 1/4" particle size. Further compounding the challenges of this application were the occasional pieces of tramp metal which would inadvertently get into the system and could have the potential to cause havoc on a machine.

SOLUTION:

FRANKLIN MILLER was called in to provide a solution. Working closely with the Parsippany personnel, Franklin Miller devised a special modified unit which became the DELUMPER Model HM. This unit was capable of reducing the abrasive ash and clinkers down to 1/4" with minimal wear. Amazingly, it could handle occasional tramp metal as well without damage. The facility reports that the DELUMPER has had over two years of trouble free operation. In fact, cutter wear on the unit has been extremely light. The DELUMPER’s operation actually exceeded the expectations of the plant personnel.
