Polymers Recycling
At the heart of the separation process, the Magnetic Density Separator (MDS) cuts the shredded mixed input waste into four different density ranges of polymer products and a fifth product, or residue, that is either much heavier than water (e.g. metals, glass etc.) or much lighter than water (e.g. , wood), depending on the type of application.

Recycling of plastic waste by density separation: prospects …
A review of existing industrial processing and results of alternative processing investigations for separating solid mixtures and specifically recycling plastic waste by density separation is presented. Media density separation is shown to be fundamental for separation and/or pre-concentration in the recycling of plastics.
How Gravity Separators Work | Density Separation …
The gravity separator, also known as fluidized-bed separator, air table, or density separator, makes a highly sensitive dry separation on the basis of one of three particle characteristics – density, size or shape. When two of these characteristics are controlled within certain limits, the gravity separator is unmatched in its ability to ...
Sutton Stoners | Density Separation Equipment …
Sutton Stoner Separation Applications. Strictly a two-way separator, the Stoner removes a small amount of heavy material from large amounts of light, producing a clean, heavy concentrate without product loss. The Stoner differs from the Fluidized-Bed-Separator in that it cannot produce a clean product if particles of intermediate ...
How sorting technologies are changing C&D recycling
Advancements in sorting technology, highlighted by the introduction of ballistic separators, have changed the game for C&D recyclers. C&D recycling systems have evolved slowly but steadily over the years. When you consider the materials generated from demoed buildings, renovations and new construction, it is easy to appreciate what it …
