windshifter concept and working principle

The windshifter (Single Drum Separator) is the ideal solution for separating all kind of waste types into two fractions,
 heavy and light. The robust construction and foolproof functionality guarantee a long lasting and trouble-free operation.

The windshifter is using industry-leading negative pressure technology to sort a wide range
of materials by density and particularly useful in processing e.g.:

Bad shredded materials

Waste containing large materials

Abrasive materials (glass, inert, car scrap, etc.)

A high volume percentage of light materials (plastics and film)

Hard and bulky soft materials

High moisture contents

Principle separating process

The Single Drum Separator (SDS) has one splitter drum, at which the heavy material is separated
 from the light material. View the picture below for the operating principles.

Advantages

The SDS is a high volume, high capacity system, offering:

A high reliability

Dust free operation – positive effect of negative pressure technology

Versatility to process a wide variety of waste streams

Adjustable separation settings during operation provide superior separation efficiency

Low energy consumption due to our unique configuration with a recirculation fan (less ductwork)

Low maintenance and very few wearable parts, i.e. reduced downtime, low operational costs

Equipped with stone catcher to prevent blockage inside the blow ducting
