In a splitting plant, mixed waste is pre-treated using our shredding, screening and separation technology to get the best possible sorting of material streams. The first process step is shredding to unbag the material and homogenize the input stream. If needed, shredding can be followed by separation of the fines by spiral shaft separator, drum screen or disc screen. This is followed by ballistic separation into flat and three-dimensional fractions as preparation for further sorting. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are likewise removed from the separated material streams. In the sorting steps that follow, wood,paper, cardboard and plastics are retrieved manually or mechanically. The remaining high-caloric fractions are used as RDF, either directly or after further treatment. Pre shredding, bag opening The process starts with a Terminator single-shaft shredder, with teeth configured for the input material. The contrary resistance of this shredder allows it to accept a wide range of input materials. Its even intake also ensures a steady supply of material to downstream process steps. Extraction of fines If there is substantial organic content in the input material, this will need to be removed before further processing. The machine used for this is either a stationary Komptech drum screen or Flowerdisc disc screen.
