Advanced 3-way separation with Nihot DDS & SDS windshifters

Turning MSW into High-Quality RDF & Recoverable Materials

Last week we successfully installed a DDS 2000 windshifter in Italy, processing MSW material with one windshifter producing three clean fractions – turning waste into value with precise separation for clean RDF, stone, and wood recovery.

Together with an SDS 1200 windshifter, the system achieves highly efficient separation:
1️⃣ Clean hardcore
2️⃣ Recovered wood fraction
3️⃣ Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF)

This project highlights how our windshifter technology maximizes material recovery while producing cleaner RDF for sustainable energy use.

How it works:
SDS windshifters use negative pressure (aspiration) to separate waste into heavy and light fractions – a method proven to deliver the highest separation efficiency.
DDS windshifters take it a step further: a unique 3-way separation into heavy, mid-heavy, and light fractions – meaning 1 windshifter = 3 fractions!
With more windshifters installed worldwide than any competitor, Nihot sets the standard for reliable and precise air-based separation.
