A ballistic separator is a type of equipment used in municipal solid waste (MSW)
sorting lines to separate materials based on their size, shape, and density.
It works by using a combination of vibration and air pressure to separate
lightweight materials from heavier ones.
Product Highlights
1,Different lengths and working widths for different throughput capacities;
2,Three machine types for three special types of application;
3,Unique straight shafts with individually exchangeable eccentric bearings;
4,Exchangeable screen grid plates on the paddles.
High Precision
The conveying speed, the ballistic separation and the level of material mixing
can be adjusted by modifying the rotational speed. A separation precision of
up to 90% can thus be achieved.
How Does a Ballistic Separator Work?
It separates the material into three fractions.
Separation takes place in just one step.
The fed material is conveyed both vertically and horizontally on the paddles.
The vertical acceleration mixes the material thoroughly,
resulting in good separation and a high separation quality.

Good reason for why choose ballistic separator
1. Efficiency in Separation:
Ballistic separators effectively separate lightweight materials from heavier ones, improving sorting accuracy.
This is particularly beneficial in small-scale operations where maximizing recovery is essential.
2. Space-Saving Design:
Many ballistic separators have a compact footprint, making them ideal for smaller facilities where space is limited.
They can fit into existing layouts without requiring extensive modifications.
3. Cost-Effective:
For small-scale projects, investing in a ballistic separator can yield high returns by increasing the quality and quantity of recyclable materials recovered.
This can lead to cost savings in waste disposal and increased revenue from selling recyclables.
4. Versatility:
Ballistic separators can handle various types of materials, including plastics, paper, and textiles,
making them suitable for diverse waste streams often found in small-scale operations.
5. Reduced Labor Costs:
By automating part of the sorting process, ballistic separators can reduce the need for manual sorting,
leading to lower labor costs and increased efficiency.
6. Minimized Contamination:
Effective separation helps reduce contamination rates in recyclable materials,
leading to higher-quality outputs and better marketability of recyclables.
7. Easy Integration:
Ballistic separators can be easily integrated into existing sorting lines,
allowing for a straightforward upgrade of current operations without a complete overhaul.
8. Sustainability:
Utilizing a ballistic separator can enhance the sustainability of a small-scale project by improving recycling rates and reducing the volume of waste sent to landfills.
