Sweep Abrasive Airflex Recovery Floor

The Airflex Recovery Floor has a series of flexible scraper blades at intervals in each corridor. The blades rest against galvanised steel combs, which give them enough strength to push the abrasive. On the alternate stroke the comb passes through the abrasive and the scraper blade passes over it. This back-and-forth motion transports the abrasive to a transversal corridor running at right angles to the rest of the floor. This transfers the abrasive to the elevator and grit wash.

The grit wash includes a primary vibrator sieve and air wash. From here, dust is transported to a dust collector, while spent abrasive and large contaminants are sent to a collection bin. Diverting spent abrasive away from the dust collector in this way prevents premature wear of the collector elements, increasing value in the long term.
