Wind Shifters

A list of companies that supply and manufacture Wind Shifters to the Waste Recycling industry.

A windshifter is used to separate light from heavy materials with the use of an air stream. The separation is based on the difference in density and size of the materials. It can be used for fraction sizes of 5 – 500 mm and for high capacities.

The airstream is created by a ventilator and a nozzle. The separation drum in the windshifter provides the separation between the heavy and light materials. The light materials are blown over the separation drum and the heavy materials fall through the air flow, or hit the separation drum, and fall down. The separation drum rotates and is constructed from stainless steel so no magnetic particles get stuck to the drum.
