The mobile Hurrikan windsifters allow effective separation of plastic foils from over-sized screened particles. The patented “pressure-suction“ process enables an effective separation of light fraction from screening residues. In the first step, material is separated by an air knife. In the second step, the lightweight material is drawn off by a powerful suction blower. The suction performance is adjustable to material by variation of blower speed, blower distance and vent flaps. The quality of the recyclable oversized particles can be improved yet further by using magnet separation and a stone trap.

The Stonefex 3000 stone separator reliably and very effectively removes stones and inert items from biomass fuels. The input material is the usable biofuel fraction from a screener, for example woody green cuttings, screen residue from compost, or forestry chips. A patented system of pressure and suction blowers generates exactly the right air flow in the separation chamber to remove stones and heavy objects from the wood. Fractions that were previously difficult to use due to their high amount of stones can now be processed into fuel. Biomass processors profit from better customer demand for their fuels and higher sale prices.

The Ballistor separates out usable fractions from waste and potential recyclables. By combining ballistic separation with screening, in just one pass-through the material stream is separated to the criteria 3/2-dimensional, rolling-cubic-rigid/flat-soft-narrow, and particle size. This means that high-caloric fractions can be separated out of commercial or household waste and further processed into RDF in one operation. Other methods like screening followed by windsifting involve a conveyor and take substantially more space and energy. The Ballistor’s long-life components, readily replaceable wear elements, and excellent maintenance access further reduce operating costs. With a choice of separation into three or four fractions, five sizes and many options, the Ballistor separator can be configured to suit the application.
