In the dynamic field of construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling, efficiency and precision are paramount. As the industry moves toward greater sustainability, the challenge lies in effectively separating valuable materials from complex waste streams. One of the most critical stages in this process is the separation of light contaminants from heavier aggregates. This is where advanced air separation technology, specifically the Wind Sifter, becomes indispensable.

Meeting Specific Client Needs in a 35 T/H Line

Consider a typical scenario in a medium-to-large scale construction waste recycling plant. With a total processing capacity of 35 tons per hour, the line requires a robust solution to handle materials after initial sorting. The specific task is to efficiently remove light fractions, ranging from 5 to 80 cm in size, from the main waste stream. These materials include challenging items such as EPS foam, mineral/rock wool, various plastic containers (bottles, barrels, pipes), and polymer films. For this demanding application, standard screening methods are insufficient; a targeted pneumatic solution is required.

To address these specific operational demands, we recommend the integration of the GFX1200 Wind Sifter. Designed for high-capacity operations, this model handles an inlet material size of 40-400mm and boasts a processing capacity ranging from 35 to 45 m³/h, making it perfectly scalable for the 35 T/H construction waste recycling line. It offers an optimal balance of high performance and energy efficiency, ensuring that operational costs are kept in check while maximizing output.

Principles of GFX Series High-Efficiency Wind Sifter

The GFX series represents the pinnacle of air separation technology. Utilizing advanced aerodynamic principles, it is engineered to achieve a precise classification of heavy and light materials. The equipment integrates a centrifugal fan, rotating drum, conveyor belt, and settling chamber into a cohesive system.

The working principle is elegantly simple yet highly effective: as the material enters the machine, a controlled, high-velocity air stream is generated. Light fractions—such as plastics, films, and foam—are lifted and carried by the airflow over a significant distance to a designated discharge point. Simultaneously, heavy materials (like stones, concrete, and metals) are unaffected by the air stream and fall out of the system via gravity or near the feed point. This results in a clean, two-stage separation that significantly upgrades the value of both the light and heavy fractions. The system's adjustable parameters allow operators to fine-tune the airflow, ensuring optimal separation efficiency regardless of material composition fluctuations, all while maintaining low dust emissions.
