Ballistic Separator
High-capacity waste segregation apparatus with parallel agitating paddles and oscillating deck that sorts waste into clear fractions — efficiently separating 2D, 3D, and fine materials for optimal recycling.
About This Product
Duromech ballistic separators are specifically crafted for sorting waste materials. This high-capacity segregating apparatus effectively separates various types of waste using parallel agitating paddles and a swiftly oscillating deck. Waste items with similar dimensions and shapes are divided into two or three segments — stones, glass, and metals are readily isolated from reusable paper, plastic, cardboard, and other recyclable items including refuse-derived fuel (RDF).

Why Choose Our Product
Ballistic Separator Machine
The ballistic separator machine is designed with a heavy-duty construction using the most advanced technology to give the best possible and highest-quality results to the user. The system is built to handle large quantities of residual waste, increasing recycling plant efficiency.
Ballistic Separator for Recycling
These ballistic separators for recycling are used in all of our modern-day recycling facilities. These wastes are mechanically sorted by plastic, paper and cardboard, so the waste will undergo a clean separation, greatly improving the quality of the recycled output.
Municipal Solid Waste Separator
The Municipal Solid Waste Separator is mainly designed to fully automate the process of urban waste. It classifies waste and divides it into different categories so that the worst will be easier to recycle and control in municipal waste.
Ballistic Separation Technology
Ballistic Separation Technology sorts materials based on their physical properties, such as weight and shape. This technology is important in the extraction of mixed waste streams into homogenous fractions.
2D and 3D Material Separation
A ballistic separator is able to separate the material into 2D and 3D material streams. Flat (2D) goods, such as paper, and bulky (3D) goods, such as plastic bottles, are precisely separated, efficiently conveying them to the downstream material streams.
Plastic and Paper Separator
This machine is built specifically to separate these two basic recyclables: plastic and paper. This has made it an indispensable component of recycling plants since its sorting capacity is efficient.
Industrial Ballistic Separator
An industrial ballistic separator is specifically designed for industrial use and is industrial-rated for heavy-duty operations. It is tough enough to survive the least hospitable of conditions and continual operation, guaranteeing a maximum life cycle.
Ballistic Separator Design
The design of the ballistic separator carries advanced engineering to make the separation more efficient. The key components are adjustable paddles, motors powerful enough to break up any type of garbage, and a strong structure.
How It Works
The ballistic separator works using oscillating paddles that move in an orbital motion. When mixed waste is fed onto the inclined deck, the paddles agitate and bounce the materials. Due to differences in weight, shape, and elasticity:
- 1 3D materials (bottles, cans, stones) bounce and roll upward along the paddles, exiting at the top.
- 2 2D materials (paper, cardboard, plastic film) slide downward on the paddle surfaces, collected at the bottom.
- 3 Fine materials (dust, soil, small debris) fall through the gaps between the paddles and are collected separately.

Safety Guidelines
Training
Only trained personnel should operate the machine.
Pre-Start Check
Check the mechanical condition of the machine, ensure safety devices are in position, and make the screening space free from any quantity of material.
Operation
Watch the work, keep it in the material, and you shall not board the machine while it is running.
Lockout Procedure
Shut down the system following the correct shutdown procedures, key out the control panel, and mark it with maintenance tags that say you have secured the system.
Maintenance Procedures
| Schedule | Task |
|---|---|
| Daily | Remove debris, check and adjust paddles, and ensure all nuts and bolts are tight. |
| Every 3 Days | Perform greasing and oiling of bearings. |
| Weekly | Grease and oil all bearings thoroughly. |
| Monthly | Perform all the above services. |
| Every 1000 Hours / 1 Year | Replace the gearbox oil. |
| Every 2000 Hours / 2 Years | Perform comprehensive maintenance including gearbox oil replacement. |
Where It's Used
Main Points For Ballistic Separators
Ballistic separator applications must be varied, and they can be at recycling centers or in waste management. On the other end, they are hugely used to classify household waste, composter scrap, and industrial scrap, making them an ideal tool in the waste management area.
Some of the features of a ballistic separator include configurable paddles, powerful conveyors, energy-efficient motors, and a simple, user-friendly control panel. All these functions aim to keep the machine running as smoothly and effectively as possible.
Proper maintenance is the key to the performance and reliability of any equipment, and the ballistic separator is no exception. Other maintenance involves inspection and tightening of the bolts, lubricating the bearings and keeping the rest of the machine free of debris.
Top manufacturers of ballistic separators, like Duromech®, provide quality machines that are efficient and long-lasting. With a focus on innovation and customer service, each of these makers offers some kind of custom-designed solution to help you recycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
A ballistic separator is a machine designed to sort and separate materials based on their physical characteristics, such as weight and shape. It is widely used in recycling and waste management.
The primary function of the ballistic separator is to efficiently separate 2D materials (like paper) from 3D materials (like plastic bottles) and other waste components.
