How does sorting with a sieve work?

In the recycling industry, effective separation of materials is essential to maximize the recovery of raw materials and minimize the environmental impact. One of the most effective methods of material separation is screening. This process involves the use of sieves to sort particles based on size, which is particularly useful when it comes to recovering large volumes of mixed waste and residual materials.

What is sieving and how does it work?

Screening is performed by a machine equipped with one or more vibrating nets or screens, called screening media. The material is fed into the machine where vibration or mechanical movement creates a moving mass where smaller particles fall through the mesh while larger particles continue to the next stage of the process. This can be adjusted to suit specific requirements by using screens with different mesh sizes and shapes, providing a flexible solution for different types of material.

The advantages of the sieving process

Screening is not only efficient but also cost-effective. It reduces the need for landfill and improves the overall efficiency of the recycling process. By quickly and accurately separating materials, it reduces waste and increases the amount of recyclable material. With our screens, we can offer solutions that not only strengthen customers' recycling capacity but also contribute to a more sustainable environment.

Integration of Norditek modules with screen

Norditek has developed specific modules that are optimized to work with sieves, or screen as it is also called. These modules are designed to complement and enhance the efficiency and adaptability of the screening process. By integrating these modules such as wind shifter, water bath or air suction, Norditek can offer a more comprehensive solution that not only handles different material types more efficiently but also increases the degree of refinement.
