Application Example: Household Waste
General Description
- Very heterogeneous and moist
- Different grain sizes and shapes
- Greatly varying compositions depending on the season and catchment area
Requirements for Separation
- Single sort recovery of metals (particularly non-ferrous metals, aluminium, copper, stainless steel, FE) to the greatest extent possible
- High purity when sorting plastics (especially PET)
- Separation of PVC for potential RDF manufacturing
