for Recycling

There is hardly any recycled material for which a screening machine cannot be used. The materials include both heavy and light substances, with particle sizes ranging from large to very small, as well as damp and wet materials, and dusty or dry screened materials.

SPALECK screening machines perform exceptionally well in the recycling sector, the chemical and food industries, and the aggregates sector.

Here are seven things we support and promote, among others:

• Household waste (MSW)
• Commercial waste
• Mixed construction waste
• Plastic waste
• Organic waste
• Soil
• Waste wood
• Wood chips
• Metals
• Slag
• Shredder light fractions
• Heavy fractions from shredding
• ASR material
• Used tyres
• Electronic waste
• Batteries
• Biomass
• Fertiliser
• Compost

and hundreds more materials.

A screening machine is used to separate and classify the material to be screened according to grain size. The aim is to separate the feed material of different sizes into size classifications using screening technology. The screening machine is used to separate the material being screened by size. The screening process is also called grading. During the screening process, the material is cleanly and reliably separated into the desired screen fractions.

In addition, screening machines are used for dewatering or for quality control screening. Typical applications therefore include classifying, inspecting, and protecting, as well as separating, dewatering, and breaking up clumps.

In our videos, you’ll find numerous instructional and application videos featuring screening machines.

In recycling, screen quality is very important because it lays the foundation for high-quality sorting. Screening machines are therefore indispensable for the recycling process of most recyclable materials. The rule is: The more precise the screening, the better the overall recycling result will be later on. This is because optimised screening quality enables downstream recycling machines such as magnetic sorters, eddy current devices, X-ray sorters, NIR sorters or wind sifters to process the individual fractions in the best possible way. Screens therefore play an important role in the circular economy in the recovery of recyclable materials and raw materials.

Screening according to particle size is essential in processing and recycling.

This is because only very clean fractions can be processed by the downstream sorting machines (e.g., B. Eddy current separators, air separators, sensor sorters, X-ray sorters (XRT / XRF), NIR sorters, and LIBS technology achieve economically optimal results.

Depending on the type of screening machine, these are used for screening and classification, and are categorized according to the following particle sizes and applications:

• Coarse screening & pre-separation
• Classification screening
• Fine screening
• Drainage
• Control screening
• GMP-compliant screening

Depending on the type of screening machine, they come in a wide variety of sizes:

While GMP-compliant screening machines used in food production are generally smaller, we manufacture our screening machines for recycling in standard sizes of up to 2 x 10 m or 3 x 10 m.

There are also single-deck, double-deck and triple-deck screening machines.

Screening machines are available both as mobile screening plants and as stationary screens.

The following types of screening machines are available, which you can find in the overview:

Vibrating screens
– Vibrating conveyors
– Vibrating screens
– Elliptical screens
– Linear vibrating screens
– Banana screens
– Eccentric screens
– Setting machines (often for sand and gravel processing)

Flip-flow screens
– Single-deck Flip-flow screen
– Double-deck Flip-flow screen

Other
– Drum screeners
– Flat screening machines
– Laboratory screening machines
– Centrifugal screening machines
– Tumbler screening machines
– Drainage screens
– Wet screening machines

Yes, SPALECK produces screening machines with three screening decks.

Three-deck screening machines from SPALECK are mainly used in the food and process industries, where several fractions are required simultaneously.

In the classic recycling sector, SPALECK mainly relies on single- and double-deck screening machines, with which – depending on the machine type – up to five fractions can be produced.

Yes, SPALECK also manufactures screening machines in the color of your choice. In addition to the technical design, the machine can also be visually adapted to your system or corporate design.

Yes, SPALECK provides targeted assistance to recycling companies to help them improve their screening processes.
The SPALECK TestCenter is often used for this purpose, where:

• The material is being tested on an industrial scale
• compare different screen configurations
• the optimal solution is determined

The goal is to achieve higher product quality, better separation, and optimized, more cost-effective processes.

For more information, see the TestCenter section.

A trial day at the SPALECK TestCenter is free for you. You are only responsible for the shipping costs for your materials.

Testing, analysis, and technical evaluation are included and will help you optimize the planning of your facility and the overall process.

For more information, see the TestCenter section.

We work with you to determine the optimal configuration for a SPALECK screening machine.

The following factors, among others, are taken into account:

• Material Properties
• Desired fractions
• Throughput and Process Objective

To ensure optimal design of the screening machine, SPALECK uses the SPALECK TestCenter, where your material is tested under real-world conditions.

For more information, see the SPALECK TestCenter section.
