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.

Product description

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…

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.
