High-Performance Sorting for Modern Recycling Facilities

Engineered for Precision. Built for Productivity.

Our Ballistic Separator is a robust, high-efficiency mechanical sorting solution designed to meet the demands of modern waste and recycling operations. Developed with industrial reliability in mind, it delivers consistent separation of mixed material streams into 2D, 3D, and fine fractions, maximizing recovery rates and improving downstream processing efficiency.

From municipal solid waste to commercial and industrial recycling lines, this machine is a proven cornerstone of advanced material recovery facilities.


Proven Separation Technology

The ballistic separator operates using an inclined deck with oscillating paddles, generating a controlled ballistic motion. This intelligent movement allows materials to self-separate according to their physical behavior:

  • Flat and light materials (2D) move upward
  • Rigid, rolling materials (3D) move downward
  • Fine particles fall through the screen openings

The result is clean, well-defined output streams in a single, continuous process.


Key Advantages

✔ Exceptional Sorting Accuracy

Delivers reliable separation even with highly mixed and variable waste streams.

✔ Increased Throughput

Designed for high-capacity operation, ensuring smooth material flow and minimal bottlenecks.

✔ Heavy-Duty Industrial Design

Built with reinforced steel construction and wear-resistant components for long service life.

✔ Low Operating Costs

Energy-efficient drive system and minimal maintenance requirements reduce total cost of ownership.

✔ Fully Adjustable Performance

Deck inclination, oscillation frequency, and stroke can be tailored to specific material types and plant layouts.

✔ Dry and Eco-Friendly Process

No water required, supporting sustainable and environmentally responsible operations.


Typical Applications

  • Municipal solid waste (MSW) processing
  • Packaging and plastic recycling
  • Commercial and industrial waste sorting
  • Construction and demolition waste
  • Fiber and paper recovery systems
  • RDF and SRF production lines

Output Fractions

Our ballistic separator produces three high-quality material streams:

  1. 2D Fraction
    Paper, cardboard, plastic films, flexible packaging
  2. 3D Fraction
    Bottles, cans, rigid plastics, containers
  3. Fine Fraction
    Sand, organics, glass fines, small debris

These clean fractions enhance the efficiency of optical sorters, air classifiers, and manual picking stations downstream.


Technical Highlights

  • Modular and compact design
  • Adjustable separation deck angle
  • Variable oscillation speed
  • Replaceable, wear-resistant paddles
  • Low vibration transfer to structure
  • Easy access for inspection and maintenance
