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:
- 2D Fraction
Paper, cardboard, plastic films, flexible packaging - 3D Fraction
Bottles, cans, rigid plastics, containers - Fine Fraction
Sand, organics, glass fines, small debris
These clean fractions enhance the efficiency of optical sorters, air classifiers, and manual picking stations downstream.

A ballistic separator is an advanced waste segregation machine used to separate mixed waste into 2D, 3D, and fine fractions based on shape, density, and weight. It is widely used in municipal solid waste (MSW), RDF, and recycling plants.
The machine uses oscillating paddles and an inclined screening deck to separate materials. Light and flat materials move upward, heavy rolling materials move downward, and fine particles pass through the screen openings.
Ballistic separators can process municipal solid waste, RDF, paper, cardboard, plastics, bottles, metals, glass, construction waste, and industrial recyclables.
Key advantages include:
Efficient 2D and 3D waste separation
High throughput capacity
Low maintenance and operating cost
Improved recycling efficiency
Reduced manual sorting effort
Better RDF quality production
Ballistic separators improve RDF quality by separating combustible light materials from heavy contaminants such as glass, stones, and metals. This increases fuel consistency and calorific value.
Yes, ballistic separators are designed to process mixed municipal solid waste, including wet and dry materials, with adjustable settings for different waste streams.
