How Ballistic Separator Works?
A Ballistic Separator operates using a series of inclined, oscillating paddles that move in a rhythmic forward and upward motion. When mixed material is fed onto the machine, flat and lightweight 2D materials such as plastic films and paper move upward, while rigid 3D materials like bottles and containers roll downward. At the same time, fine particles and inert materials fall through perforations between the paddles. This multi-fraction separation happens continuously and efficiently without manual intervention.
Key Benefits of Using a Ballistic Separator
Municipal Solid Waste refers to the everyday waste generated by households, commercial establishments, institutions, and small industries within a municipality. This includes biodegradable organic waste, recyclable materials, inert waste, and hazardous components. Proper management of MSW is critical for public health, environmental protection, and urban sustainability.
Alfa Therm Limited offers comprehensive MSW solutions that cover the entire waste management cycle—from collection, segregation, transportation, and processing to resource recovery and safe disposal. Our systems aim not just to dispose of waste but to convert it into valuable resources through material recovery, composting, and waste-to-energy technologies.
Key Features of Alfa Therm Limited Ballistic Separator
Throughput Capacity
10 to 30 tons per hour (TPH) or 40 to 200 m³/h depending on waste density and model.
Installed Power
7.5 kW to 22 kW (approx. 10 HP to 30 HP), with some larger systems requiring more power.
Operating Angle
Adjustable inclination, typically ranging from 8° to 20° to refine separation quality.
Screening Area
Varies widely by model, from a few square meters (e.g., 9 m²) up to 34 m² or more for large systems.
Paddles
Typically 4 to 16 parallel, oscillating paddles, often made of durable steel to resist wear.
Control System
Often PLC-based control panels with variable frequency drives (VFD) for speed adjustment.
