AIR ADJUSTMENT
Air regulation is one of the most important adjustments to be made on a stoner. The most common mistake in
air regulation is the use of too much air. Separation is not made by "blowing" the light material from the heavy
but by using a controlled air flow to create the stratified layers, which are then separated by the vibrating
action of the deck. Too much air will cause a boiling or bubbling action lifting the heavier particles from the
deck and mixing them with the lighter top layers. Too little air will cause the material to appear sluggish and
pile up on the high end of the deck.
With proper air regulation, the bed of material will be almost fluid in appearance. With the exception of the
stratifying zone under the feeder, the material on the surface should be agitated and free flowing. Bubbling
should be kept to a minimum, allowing the vibrating deck to make the separation. All the controls on the ston-
er serve a purpose and must be balanced with the other controls to obtain optimum separation. With this
understanding, we are now able to advance to making an actual separation.
