Short Wool Pro
Cleans heavily contaminated loose stock wool under 100mm (4 inches)
prior to blending, and subsequently scouring. Such contaminants
could be lime, dirt, seeds and dags. The batch hammer mill action,
will extract the easily removable contaminants from the wool.
There are two types of Short Wool Pro, the 4m grate model and 2m
grate model. The difference being the 4m grate option, allows continuous
use while cleaning. The 2m grate requires processing to stop while
the grate is cleaned. Each model has a dag crusher variation handling
a percentage of dags between 10% and 30%. Wools with over 30% dags
would be processed via the specialist Dag Crusher Machine

Bale Breaker
Designed to open hardened tri-packed bales prior to entering the
scour preparation area of the scour line. The Bale Breaker can
either be a freestanding pre-treatment prior to the scour line,
or can be integrated into the beginning of the scour preparation
area. There are two types of Bale Breaker, the 4 flail and the
3 flail.
|
4 Flail Bale Breaker
Opens hardened tri-packed bales of longer and heavier wools,
either as a pre-treatment or at the beginning of the scour preparation
section of a scour line.
|
3 Flail Bale Breaker
Opens hardened tri-packed bales, either as a pre-treatment or
at the beginning of the scour preparation section of a scour
line.

Decotter
The ANDAR Decotter will open cotted or matted fleeces. Each individual
fleece is fed into the Decotter as an offline treatment. Treating
this otherwise unusable wool allows it to be blended into the main
wool flow. There are two sizes, the 13 pad and the 19 pad machines.
Both sizes come as part of a Decotter system, including options
of ducting and pneumatic transportation.
|
Dag Crusher
When the percentage of dags in the loose stock wool is more than
30%, this machine is recommended. The ANDAR Dag Crusher will give
a more severe treatment than the Short Wool Processor.
|
Electrical Control System
Any of these machines can be controlled independently or collectively
as an Opening and Pre-cleaning system. As a complete pre-treatment
system prior to blending, a conveyance system would link the wool
flows between the machines. Each of these specialist pre-opening
treatments is fed individually and therefore the speed and control
for each can be manipulated to suit desired wool blends and quantities.
