AMUT introduces Single-stage Ballistic Separator to North America

AMUT Ecotech, part of Italy’s AMUT Group, exhibited its new SBS 201 single-stage, mobile ballistic separator at WasteExpo 2014 in Atlanta.   

AMUT says the new SBS 201 ballistic separator, which can be added to existing lines, is capable of being mounted on a flatbed trailer. The unit’s hook-lift separator divides materials into three different streams: a flat fraction, comprising polyethylene (PET) film, paper and cardboard; a tube fraction, for containers and cans with a cylindrical shape; and a rejected fraction. 

According to AMUT Ecotech, the SBS 201 offers a maximum processing capacity of five tons per hour, with conveyor speeds of 60 metres per minute. Standard perforations measure 50 x 50 millimetres, and other sizes are available upon request.  

AMUT Ecotech offers various plants and equipment designed to process, screen or transport various material streams, such as compost, refuse derived fuel (RDF), curbside collections, paper, electronics, plastic, glass and tires.  AMUT Group also has a special division dedicated to the manufacture of recycling and full wash plants for PET bottles and HDPE containers. According to the company, washed PET and HDPE flakes from its processing lines are almost comparable to virgin PET, and consequently may be suitable for “bottle to bottle” and “bottle to packaging” applications.   

The company’s product line also includes its De-labeller, which removes sleeves from bottles, as well as a Friction Washer, which eliminates contaminants from PET flakes or bottles.
