Technical specifications
Sustainability impact
Equipment engineered for long-lasting operation and built from recyclable materials, in line with the principles of the circular economy.
Key features
It never blinds
the alternating tension constantly changes the geometry of the openings, so wet particles cannot lodge in the mesh.
No stops for cleaning
the self-cleaning action removes the most common cause of downtime on a sorting line, manually clearing a blinded screen.
It protects the machines downstream
by removing the fine, wet fraction early, optical sorters and air separators work on clean material and far more accurately.

The most frequent cause of downtime in a sorting plant is not a breakdown, it is a blinded screen. Household waste is wet, sticky and fibrous, and particles lodge in the mesh until nothing passes through any more. A flip flow screen is engineered for exactly the material that blinds everything else. The solution is ingenious: the screen is not a rigid mesh but an elastic panel. The panel and a counterweight form two independent vibrating masses that move out of phase. The result is that one section of the screen is under tension while the adjacent section is slack,…

Municipal waste
Municipal waste sorting plants, from the bag to recoverable material
Household waste arrives mixed and bagged. A sorting plant opens it, screens it into size fractions, separates the light material from the heavy one and extracts metals, plastic, paper and glass. We configure complete lines and also supply the individual machines, from the bag opener and trommel screen through to the magnetic and eddy current separators, the optical sorters and the balers.
