Ballistic separator for waste stream fractionation
Efficiently transform mixed waste streams into distinct, usable fractions with precise separation, enhancing downstream processing and reducing contamination in recycling operations.

The Lubo Elliptical from Bollegraaf is a state-of-the-art ballistic separator engineered to enhance the sorting of mixed waste streams. This equipment excels in separating 2D materials like film bags and light sheet paper from 3D objects such as tin cans and PET bottles through its unique agitation movement and adjustable screen angle. Applicable in industries like recycling and waste management, it processes materials from commingled, municipal solid, and construction waste, producing end-products like foil wraps and cardboard boxes.
With a focus on efficiency, the Lubo Elliptical operates continuously at high speeds, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines. Its automation capabilities allow for minimal oversight, boosting reliability across operations. Maintenance is simplified with easy access for adjustments and detachable paddles, reducing downtime significantly. The equipment’s ballistic technology minimizes wear, requiring little maintenance and offering a low cost of ownership over its extended service life.
Bollegraaf offers various paddle options to meet unique company requirements and ensures that the machine can be customized for different operational conditions. The Lubo Elliptical is an excellent choice for firms looking to improve material separation and streamline their recycling processes.
