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.
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.
Preparing for sorting
To ensure effective sorting, the material is prepped with a Ballistor ballistic sorter. The Ballistor's separation function en- ables splitting of the material stream into three fractions - flat (2D), cubic (3D) and fine.
Sorting, seperation
Manual or automatic sorting after the Ballistor is very effective. Film, paper and cardboard go to the 2D line, and PET, HDPE, metals etc. on the 3D line. Running the material through the
Ballistor results in considerably cleaner and thus higher quality recycling streams.
Storage, baling
The final products can be stored loose and/or pressed into bales. Komptech works with recognized, experienced experts (e.g. Austropress) to achieve defined storage capacities.
