SDS 1200 & DDS 1800 windshifters in operation in the UK 🇬🇧

Turning Waste into High-Quality RDF & Recoverable Materials

A recycling facility is processing C&D waste using a combination of Nihot SDS and DDS windshifters, delivering highly efficient air-based separation.

Separation results:
✅ Clean hardcore – inerts, stones, glass, metals
✅ Recovered wood fraction – suitable for further recovery
✅ RDF / SRF fraction – clean, consistent fuel quality

How the system works:
The SDS 1200 separates the input into a light RDF fraction and a heavy fraction containing inerts, stones, glass, wood, and metals.
The DDS 1800 takes separation a step further with a true 3-way split:
1️⃣ Light fraction – SRF
2️⃣ Mid-heavy fraction – wood, dense plastics, and similar materials
3️⃣ Heavy fraction – inerts, stones, glass, metals

Technology behind the performance:
Nihot SDS windshifters use negative pressure (aspiration) to separate waste into heavy and light fractions — a method proven to deliver the highest separation accuracy.
The DDS windshifter builds on this principle with a unique 3-way separation, meaning 1 windshifter = 3 clean fractions.
