The correct design of machine material take off Hood is essential for an efficient extraction system. With an efficient hood, the airflow can be kept at a minimum resulting in lower running costs and decreases the risk of blockages.
Nicholls have designed many Hoods for a broad range of machinery. Typically, Hoods are used to support the manual sorting process so that large pieces of materials i.e. paper, film, cardboard, plastic bottles can be removed from the picking stations or sorting lines and conveyed to a Baler or storage area. There is the option of cleaning the air and returning it back into the cabin or sorting area.
Other Hoods can be designed simply to move product from one destination to another.
