A [[Ballistic Separator]] is a machine that sorts [[Waste|waste]] materials by separating flexible items from rigid ones. The machine, on an inclination, pushes light, flexible material up the screen/paddle and causes heavy, rigid items to fall downwards. There is also small holes in the paddles where finer material can fall through and these can be sized according to customer demand. The angle of inclination and the speed of paddle rotation can be adjusted extensively. The separation characteristics can be adjusted to changes in the [[Waste|waste]] stream at any time<ref name="ref1">[https://www.machinexrecycling.com/products/mach-ballistic-separators/ Ballistic Separators]</ref>. | A [[Ballistic Separator]] is a machine that sorts [[Waste|waste]] materials by separating flexible items from rigid ones.
