The methods used are not only environmentally friendly but also help to maximize recycling and reuse of resources. With machines like windshifter and air suction, separately or in combination, we can extract completely clean fractions of soil.
1. separation with windshifter
A windshifter is a machine that uses air currents to separate materials based on weight, size and aerodynamic properties. This machine is particularly effective at separating lighter plastics from heavier organic material.
- How it works:
The material is fed into a rotating screen where air currents blow away the light plastic while the heavier soil and compost fall down.
- Advantages:
- Efficient separation of larger plastic parts.
- Low energy consumption compared to other methods.
- Robust technology that handles large volumes quickly.
- Areas of use:
the wind shifter is ideal for pre-processing materials at recycling facilities and for projects that handle large volumes of mixed waste.
2. Separation by air suction
Air suction is a more precise method of separating plastic from organic matter. This technique is particularly useful for removing smaller plastic fragments that are otherwise difficult to remove.
- How it works:
For example, material transported on a conveyor belt encounters a powerful air suction that pulls the plastic away. The low density of the plastic allows it to be easily separated from the heavier organic parts.
- Advantages:
- High precision, especially for small plastic pieces.
- Can be combined with other technologies like windshifter for maximum efficiency.
- Gentle treatment of the material, preserving the quality of the final product.
- Areas of use:
Air suction is often used in post-processing steps to ensure that the final material is plastic-free and ready for reuse.
Environmentally friendly solutions
These technologies help create clean end products that can be reused as soil conditioner or compost, while recycling or recovering energy from plastics.
