Ballistic Separator

A ballistic separator is a machine that sorts 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. This device is useful in single stream applications to replace typical rubber star screens and are beneficial as it is a versatile piece of equipment. This device is capable of sorting stones, glass, metal, wood, plastic, paper, containers, cans, construction and demolition waste, other heavy items, MSW and C&I waste. The separator then divides the waste input into three streams: 2-dimentional light and flat material that walk up the screens, 3-dimentional heavy and rigid items that fall down the screens, and fine pieces of waste that falls/is sieved through the holes/openings in the screens. The angle of inclination and the speed can be adjusted infinitely. The separation characteristics can be adjusted to changes in the waste stream at any time.
