Key Points

High proportion of plastic films

Plastic films in mixed waste interfere with the sorting process. They are reliably removed using vacuum extraction and separation technology.

High dust levels

Processing mixed waste generates a lot of dust. A water spray system captures it immediately, ensuring that equipment and the environment remain protected.

Return to the shredder

Large contaminants are automatically returned to the shredder, crushed, and fed back into the sorting process.

Metal components

Nails, screws, and other metal parts are reliably removed using magnetic separators to ensure material quality.

Overcoming challenges with the Lepton 5100

Municipal & Commercial Waste

This category includes all waste consisting of a combination of different types of materials that is now intended for recycling or reuse, such as substitute fuel. Examples include household waste, commercial waste, bulky waste, and plastic waste. Sorting this waste is essential for the sustainable and economical management of valuable resources. However, several challenges must be addressed in this process. High material throughput requires powerful and efficient technologies to process mixed waste and handle sorting tasks reliably and in large quantities. At the same time, the heavy dust generation and high proportion of contaminants during the processing of these materials lead to problems that can impact both plant operations and the environment. With the Lepton 5100, Alzinger Recyclingtechnik offers a modern solution that effectively addresses these challenges. The water spray system in screen deck 1 captures dust directly as it is generated. Contaminants are effectively separated by the coarse-grain conveyors, the extraction system, and the magnetic separator. The high throughput is ensured by the screen decks with screen rollers, as these enable a higher throughput compared to conventional drum screens.
