Density Separator
The CDS series density separators are engineered to efficiently separate lightweight contaminants from construction and demolition waste, optimizing the material recovery process. Each unit consists of a feed chute, a main conveyor, and a brush conveyor that collects lightweight materials. Heavier, clean materials sink in the water and fall onto the main conveyor for discharge, while lighter contaminants such as wood, PVC, foam, and plastics float on the surface and are removed by the brush conveyor. This process ensures high-purity output materials, ideal for use as base material or aggregate, and allows the system to deliver a quick return on investment.
Both CDS 1200 and CDS 1400 offer different capacities but share the same efficient separation principle. A range of optional features further enhances functionality: a silt screw conveyor for removing fine particles that settle at the bottom, a swivel discharge conveyor for either stockpiling the final product or transferring it to another machine, a hook lift system for easy transport, a PLC control system, and a water circulation unit to improve separation performance. Adjustable speeds on both the main and brush conveyors allow the system to be fine-tuned based on material type and moisture level.

The Magic Touch That Gives Your Waste New Life!
Density separators, an indispensable piece of equipment in modern industry and the recycling sector, breathe new life into waste by separating materials of different densities. In this article, we’ll delve into how density separators work, why they are so crucial, and the advantages they offer to various industries. Are you ready to uncover the true value hidden within your waste?
The Hidden Treasure in Your Waste: The Miracle of Separation with Density Separators
With growing environmental awareness, recycling processes have become more critical than ever. Separating different materials within waste streams is fundamental to increasing recyclability and recovering valuable raw materials. This is where density separators come into play. These machines use a medium, such as water, to precisely separate denser materials from lighter ones. This allows “hidden treasures” like metals, plastics, glass, or minerals within mixed waste piles to be easily discovered and brought back into use.
How Do Density Separators Work? A Dance of Science and Engineering
The working principle of this machine is quite simple: every material has its unique density. When placed in a liquid (usually water), denser materials sink while less dense materials float. This basic physical principle, combined with advanced engineering designs, creates highly effective separation systems.
Why Are Density Separators So Important? The Key to Sustainability
Are an indispensable part of recycling and raw material recovery processes. Thanks to these systems:
Waste Reduction: The amount of waste sent to landfills is significantly reduced.
Resource Recovery: Valuable resources like metals, plastics, and minerals are recycled, preventing the depletion of natural resources.
Energy Savings: Producing goods from recycled materials requires significantly less energy than manufacturing from scratch.
Reduced Environmental Impact: Environmental pollution caused by mining and primary production activities decreases.
In short, density separators play a critical role in achieving economic and environmental sustainability goals.
Which Sectors Benefit from Density Separators? A Wide Range of Applications
Density separators are not exclusive to a single sector; instead, they have a wide range of applications:
Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling: Separation of concrete, bricks, wood, and metals.
Plastic Recycling: Separation of different types of plastics (PET, HDPE, etc.).
These machines help increase efficiency in every sector while also reducing waste management costs.
Your Investment Helps You Profit from Waste: The Economic Side of Density Separators
Density separators not only offer environmental benefits but also provide significant economic advantages. Recovered materials provide a cost advantage to businesses by being used as raw materials in the production of new products. Furthermore, it’s possible to save on waste disposal fees and, in some cases, generate additional income from the sale of recycled materials. These machines enable businesses to integrate into the circular economy, creating a long-term competitive advantage.
