FRACTIONATING LAB TESTER
Project
FRACTIONATING ASPIRATOR LAB TESTER
General Information
1.0 Scope of Work
Vendor is to deliver a test model frac�ona�ng aspirator with variable frequency drive for precise and adjustable blower and feed roller speed. The unit should contain the following features:
1) Fractionating aspirator tester
2) Power Cord
3) Warranty
2.0 Background
A frac�ona�ng aspirator is designed to separate par�cles of the same size but have different weights.
This can be achieved by adjus�ng the air velocity passing through the curtain of falling grains, feed roller speed, and the feed gate spring tension. Par�cles drop off the air stream depending on its terminal velocity and collected into different receivers/pans strategically located along the base of the aspirator.
With the VFD, the air velocity (fan speed) and feed rate (roller speed) se�ngs can be controlled precisely and recorded for repeat runs later. The benchtop frac�oning aspirator unit can be u�lized for density grading of smaller batches (~1 kg) of seeds than what would be needed (>50 kg) using a Forsberg TKV 25 gravity table.
Contractor Requirements
3.0 Technical Requirements / Tasks
1) Electric motors for fan and feed roll; 110V, 60 Hz.
