Wet beneficiation systems process fines by several' types of unit operations, but usually must also incorporate costly and complex dewatering systems to reduce the moisture content of the products. Existing pneumatic preparation systems are constrained between product equality and yield by the sharpness of separation. These limitations become more severe with decreasing particle size and increasing feed moisture content. Control of particulate emissions, both process and fugitive, during pneumatic preparation, can be forbidding. A pneumatic preparation-process which would overcome these constraints, could be most enticing. The DryFlo system is being evaluated to quantify performance characteristics as regards these constraints. 1, record 2, English, - Dryflo%20separator

The refractory photocell uses a beam of light that passes through a small chamber at a point away from the light source. Normally, the light does not strike the photocell, and no current is produced. This allows the switch to remain open. When smoke enters the chamber, it causes the light beam to be refracted ... in all directions.
