 Reliability Fine shredding prevents clogging upstream of conveyance since the material is rendered uniform in size and weight. A neat design solution whereby the heat generated by the shredder blades themselves is transferred to reduce the humidity of the wet bedding further increases reliability.  Flexibility The IWT system alone is able to reliably process all types of bedding, both wet and dry, and all types of enrichment (wooden blocks, cardboard tubes, enviro-dry, shredded paper, etc ..). No need for operators to waste time sorting out enrichment to prevent clogging downstream.  Allergen Protection The operator works entirely in front of the horizontal laminar airflow. As a result a high degree of air cleanliness is achieved within the whole breathing zone.
Airflow control and suction points within critical bedding handling zones such as the waste dust collection bin are also provided in order to protect the operator against exposure to dust, allergens and any sort of airborne contaminant generated during bedding dumping and scraping.  Accurate Dispensing IWT mechanical dispensing technology via mixer/auger is extremely precise (error margin below 5%) and favours standardization of experiment conditions and reduction of material waste (with a consequent reduction in costs).  Versatility The system is purposely configured so as to be compatible with different local waste management systems and to comply to local waste regulations (ATEX 94/9 CE and NFPA 68) and various approaches to the storage and handling of clean bedding.  Financial Break even Subject to minimum cage processing numbers, the investment in this type of automatic system can be paid back in the short term thanks to lower running costs. The positive impact is felt in terms of reduced staff, compensation costs, personnel
recruitment/training and absenteeism, as well as a reduction in spares and component stock levels and storage occupancy.
The pay-back may thus be achieved in between 1 and 2 years, depending on the options and the amount of the overall investment.  Green Concept Utilities Competitors have tried to reduce clogging events by increasing the diameter of the piping for the vacuum transport system or over-sizing vacuum pumps (taking up an absurdly large space in the facility).
The IWT solution requires only a small vacuum pump since reliability is achieved via an integrated approach. Just one small (8-12 KW) vacuum pump can easily manage hundreds and hundreds of meters of piping in the facility. Utility costs for waste disposal are thus reduced.  Hygienic All component parts are made of AISI 304 stainless steel. This makes them easy to clean, with a non-porous surface minimizing potential contamination. |
