SlurryKat Engineering – The Bio-Separator

So what is the Bio-Separator and how does it work? It’s an innovative and robust piece of revolutionary equipment which comes in a range of sizes which effectively separates biogenic-organic material from non-biogenic waste material. These machines are the solution to a multi-million pound problem that have been causing complications for councils for decades.

The Bio-Separator process is simple. Waste material is put into a Bio-Separator from a ‘hopper’ which breaks down the waste material. The Bio-Separator uses its hammer mill to break down and separate the waste. Rotating blades are then used to filter the organic waste through a screen while the non-organic waste is retained within the hammer mill. The blades in the hammer mill then breaks down the inorganic matter and keeps it separate from the organic effluent.

Because of its design, the Bio-Separator enables the waste material to move upwards within the unit. The inorganic waste is broken down into smaller pieces and lifted upwards by the force of the rotating hammer mill. During this process the plastics are washed which, quite simply, results in clean, decontaminated material, which is suitable for recycling.
