Vacuum separator

Vacuum separators are used in special waste recycling and sorting systems.

When sorting garbage, films and other materials with a large surface area, which often clog in the air ducts and stop the entire further sorting line, should be separated from the total mass.

In the new operating mode, the vacuum separator sorts materials with a large surface area and makes operator intervention unnecessary.

A double separator (UDT) can be used to sort or to improve the existing sorting process.

The vacuum separator has a new, innovative design and high functionality. It consists of one or two rotating perforated drums, each of which has a vacuum zone and a pressure zone.

Material for sorting is loaded into the separator from the conveyor belt. The drum is at a certain distance from the tape. Due to this distance and reduced pressure in the drum, the fine fraction (plastic containers, cardboard and other heavy particles) due to their mass fall through the gap into the shaft onto the corresponding conveyor belt.

Materials with a large surface area are sucked in and held in the drum due to vacuum and transferred through the upper part of the drum in the direction of its rotation. Behind the upper part is an overpressure zone. The material that has been pulled before this is separated — light materials and materials with a large surface area fall into the desired zone due to centrifugal force and air flows.

The diameter, width and installation location of the perforated drum in relation to the loading tape affect the sorting results and adjust to the type and quantity of material.

The sequential installation of two drums improves the quality of sorting and eliminates the further line of elements with a large surface area.
