Precise plastic film extraction from packaging waste

Nihot has recently supplied a WSF windshifter to a packaging waste sorting installation in Italy for the extraction of plastic film from the waste stream.
The WSF is a dedicated windshifter for packaging waste applications where only plastic film and foil need to be removed or recovered.

The WSF combines three key elements:
- A recirculation fan
- A separation unit (the actual windshifter)
- And either a Rotary Air Separator (RAS) or a Combi Separator
In this project, we installed a Combi Separator for maximum efficiency.
- Handles larger volumes of aspirated plastic film with ease
- Maintenance-free design for maximum uptime
- Clean discharge of aspirated plastic film
- Pressure-less separation of air and film for safe and efficient operation
The result? Smart separation, reliable performance, reduced maintenance and optimized recovery of plastic film.
