Air Separator
In e-waste recycle processing, controlled air is a perfect separation medium,both in terms of process technology and business solutions.Controlled air is one of the core technologies of Star Trace. It is versatile,offers greater flexibility than mechanical separation technologies and it guarantees high separation efficiency. By using air, materials can be separated based on both material density and shape. Star Trace, has optimized air technology for waste separation. The company is a recognized key player in its field.
The air separator is a combination of a recirculation fan, a separation unit (diagonal shifter, vertical shifter or zig-zag shifter) and a combi separator. It is the best separating solution based on density of the material at capacities up to 100 tonnes/hr. The low-maintenance Windshifter is a proprietary design of Star Trace. It offers effective separation and operational reliability, with a proven and long track record at customer plants worldwide.
The Windshifter is utilized for the separation and/or upgrading of the following Waste qualities.
- e-waste recycling process.
- Municipal Solid Waste. (MSW).
- Commercial and Industrial Waste (C&I).
- Construction and Demolition Waste (C&D).
- Compost Refinement section.
- Waste from Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
- Biomass/Wood recycling.
- Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).
- Single Stream (DSD/PMD).
The Windshifter is utilized for the separation and/or upgrading of the following Waste qualities.
- Proven high operational reliability, i.e. increase of effective production time.
- High separation effi ciency – up to 99 wt.%.
- Gives control of the caloric value of the output.
- Removes interferants from input, thus protecting the granulators in RDF refi nement.
- Low maintenance and very few wearable parts, i.e. reduced downtime, low operational costs.
- Low dust emission.
