Recycling in the construction and demolition sector is gaining importance as public awareness for re-using of all materials produced by humankind is growing. To improve the recycling rates of this type of material, STADLER Anlagenbau GmbH has introduced a machine developed for this sector: the ballistic separator STT6000.
This machine is said to be more robust than regular ballistic separators and is suitable for large, heavy materials. The head of research and development at STADLER, Christian Nordmann, highlights the key features of the machine.
“There is no need for pre-sorting or pre-shredding the input. Also, differently from screening drums, which separate the material only in two fractions, the three-fraction output of the STT6000 means that impurities can be easily removed, as they are still in their original size,” he said. Features such as big shafts without swinging frame, exchangeable wear plates on the side walls, and an integrated lubrication system, enable sorting of materials up to 2m in length and reduce the vulnerability to impurities and damage.
This machine is designed for unsorted and unshredded construction and demolition waste, heavy industrial waste with individual pieces up to 100 kg, landfill mining or even MSW with large impurities.
Features of the machine include:
- Shaft quality – single-piece cast shafts with an extra-large diameter provide good stability without the need for additional supports inside the machinery.
- Lubrication – since the labyrinth sealing gaps are filled with grease during operation via the lubricant holes in the shafts, the multi-sealed shaft bearings do not require any additional lubrication.
- Paddles – the special layout of five paddles and thick materials ensure low-vibration operation and maximum stability – even if the materials being sorted are heavy.
- Protection against wear – the side walls around the paddles feature replaceable wear protection plates.
- Maintenance doors – for convenient access to all areas of the machinery.
