DDS windshifter

The Nihot DDS windshifter (Double Drum Separator) is the ideal solution for a three-way and high-volume separation. The DDS has two separating sections, this unique separating solution separates the input into three fractions:

  • heavy
  • mid-heavy
  • light

The DDS windshifter is especially capable of processing e.g.:

  • High moisture content
  • Abrasive materials (glass, inert, car scrap, etc.)
  • A high volume percentage of light materials (plastics and film)

Principle separating process

The picture below shows the operating principles of the DDS. The three-way fraction is created with dual air separation points and two splitter drums.

A recycling plant in Australia operational with a Nihot DDS and SDS windshifter!

Both windshifters are processing C&D waste and creating a 3-way separation: (1) clean hardcore, (2) a wood fraction for recovery (2) and an RDF fraction (3). The DDS 1600 is processing 66 tph with a 50-110 mm fraction size.
