Product Overview

Air Separator, also known as wind sifter, is a physical density‑based sorting unit widely used in recycling production lines. It separates light‑weight contaminants from heavy‑density materials by controlled airflow. Usually installed after shredding and crushing equipment, it effectively removes films, paper, foam and dust, greatly improving the purity of heavy‑fraction output material.
SENKOTH air separator adopts optimized air‑channel structure and frequency‑conversion fan control. Suitable for e‑waste, aluminum‑plastic scrap, circuit‑board fragments and various mixed shredded waste. Supported by direct‑factory cooperation, we provide stable dry‑type air‑sorting solutions for global recycling plants.

Raw Materials & Final Outputs

Raw Materials (Input):
Pre‑shredded mixed scrap including e‑waste fragments, crushed aluminum‑plastic scrap, PCB crushed material, shredded cable scraps, plastic‑metal mixed particles and other dry crushed waste.
Finished Products (Output):
– Heavy fraction: high‑density materials such as metals, hard plastic granules, rigid fragments
– Light fraction: films, paper, foam, fiber, paint skin, dust and other lightweight impurities

Key Features & Advantages

  • Dry Physical Sorting: Air‑only separation, no water or chemical additives, low operating cost.
  • Adjustable Air Volume & Airflow: Frequency‑conversion fan system, airflow can be fine‑tuned for different material density and particle sizes.
  • Closed‑loop Air Circuit Optional: Reduces dust spillage; can match cyclone dust collector for light‑fraction collection.
  • Optimized Air‑Channel Structure: Multi‑stage wind separation improves separation accuracy, reduces material carry‑over.
  • Wide Material Compatibility: Works well for e‑waste, aluminum‑plastic, circuit‑board and many kinds of mixed crushed scrap.
  • Easy Integration Into Line: Matches perfectly with shredders, crushers, magnetic separators and conveying systems.
  • Robust Industrial Construction: Wear‑resistant housing, inspection doors for convenient internal maintenance.

Working Principle

Mixed crushed materials are evenly fed into the separation chamber. Controlled airflow acts on materials of different density. Light‑weight impurities are carried away by airflow and collected as light fraction. High‑density heavy materials drop down by gravity and are discharged separately. By adjusting fan speed, operators can adapt to varying feed conditions and achieve target separation results.
