Van Tongeren GIC a Hit for Luck Stone

Score one for water conservation. Luck Stone recently upgraded the classification system at its Goose Creek Plant in Leesburg, Va., to a breakthrough dry process system that eliminates the need for water. Called a Gravitational Inertial Classifier (GIC), this system uses only ambient air and gravity to remove fine particles under 75 µm from clean, crushed stone, saving upwards of…

Van Tongeren System Classifies Aggregates Without Water

Process equipment manufacturer Van Tongeren America, Lebanon, Pa., has unveiled a Gravitational-Inertial Classifier (GIC) system that automatically separates dry materials without using water. Developed to replace the traditional wet separation process that often consumes millions of gallons of water daily with a dry process that needs no water, the pneumatic air classifier system harnesses gravitational, inertial, centrifugal and aerodynamic forces…
