Circular Vibrating Screen
The recycling screen is used for the efficient and highly precise sorting of recycled materials.
It prepares the input material for further processing and sorting.
It is precisely tailored to your specific recycling application.
SPALECK recycling screens are specially designed for sorting coarse and medium-sized recycled materials. They enable very precise separation of material streams by size. Typical input fractions consist of material streams ranging from about 20 to 300 mm. Recycling screens are therefore a key process step for cost-effective recycling and the downstream sorting and processing operations. The SPALECK recycling screen is a circular vibrating screen. It is important to note that these screening machines are designed and built specifically for the respective input material. As a result, SPALECK screening machines produce very precise grain size distributions, which can then be processed in subsequent process steps using sorting technology to separate them precisely by material type and composition.

Would you like to learn more about how to optimally sort your recyclable materials using a recycling screen? Or do you already have a specific project in mind? Then let’s talk about your material and how it’s screened. I’d also be happy to show you some references and case studies.
SPALECK recycling screens are designed for maximum process stability and reliable performance. The design ensures even distribution of material across the entire screen surface, enabling precise classification even with very challenging materials.
The recycling screens and screen decks are specifically designed for demanding use in recycling plants and offer high wear resistance and reliability. Thanks to special machine settings, even highly abrasive, heterogeneous, or sticky recycled materials, for example, can be reliably sorted.
The better the configuration of the screen liners, the material-specific screen machine features, and the adjustment of the recycling screen are tailored to the material, the higher your economic return from recycling will be. That is why we design each screening machine specifically for each project. This way, we can work together to find the best machine settings for optimal screening results and a long machine service life.
Quick and easy access to all relevant machine components, smart features such as our LubricationCONTROL or our SPALECK Connect technology, and a high-performance, global service are a given for us. This ensures that your recycling plant remains efficient over the long term.
Recycling screens play a key role in many recycling plants: the reliable and precise sorting of material streams. Requiring little cleaning and maintenance, they ensure very precise cuts and accurate grading. This reduces the load on downstream sorting equipment and ensures that recycling processes are operated cost-effectively. Typical applications range from mixed construction waste, household waste, and waste-to-energy ash to applications in metal and plastic recycling, as well as the processing of compost and organic waste streams.

In the processing of construction debris, the recycling screen is used to sort the input material. Mixtures of concrete, bricks, glass, wood, composite materials, and contaminants are reliably separated into defined particle sizes. Typical cut sizes include, for example, 20–60 mm, 60–120 mm, and larger than 120 mm. This results in clearly defined fractions that can be processed further as needed. Subsequent processing steps, such as air separation, sensor sorting, or manual sorting, benefit from uniform grain streams with very high screening quality.

In the processing of waste incineration slag, the recycling screen serves as the primary classification stage for mineral and metal-bearing fractions. Slag, non-ferrous metals, and residual materials are separated into the required particle sizes, thereby enabling efficient processing of the slag. Typical grading is done, for example, into size fractions such as 0–60 mm and > 60 mm. The 0–60 mm fractions are then further graded into smaller fractions using SPALECK tension-shaft screening machines. This creates ideal conditions for downstream sorting technology, such as eddy current separators, sensor sorters, and combination sorters.

For mixed packaging waste, the recycling screen ensures a clean separation into coarse and medium fractions. Lightweight packaging, films, plastics, and composites are sorted and classified consistently. The resulting fractions allow for significantly more efficient further processing. NIR sorters and sensor-based sorting machines ensure that the material maintains monolayer quality across the entire feed width of the sorting machine.

In municipal solid waste processing, the recycling screen plays a key role in sorting the incoming material. Mixed waste streams are separated into specific size ranges, allowing downstream sorting systems to operate more efficiently. Typical cut lengths range from 20–60 mm, 60–120 mm, 120–250 mm, and >250 mm. In large facilities, multiple recycling screens are often combined to enable even more thorough separation and sorting.

In metal recycling, the recycling screen is used to separate complex feed materials into precisely defined particle size classes. Auto shredder residue, light and heavy shredder fractions, and electronic scrap are efficiently sorted. Thanks to the three-dimensional screening performed by SPALECK screening machines, the resulting fractions are virtually free of long particles, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of downstream sorting processes. Metal-containing components can be separated more effectively, and recyclable materials can be recovered more efficiently. The best results are achieved using ActiveFEED feeding technology.

In plastic recycling plants, the recycling screen ensures uniform sorting of mixed plastic streams. Components of different sizes, film fragments, and rigid plastics are separated into defined fractions. The screening machine is configured so that the material remains on the screen deck for an optimal amount of time, thereby further improving the quality of the sorting process.

For organic material streams such as food waste or compost, the screening machine is used for coarse sorting and separating the material. Larger components are reliably separated and prepared for downstream processes. Consistent fractionation facilitates further processing and ensures better process control throughout the plant. In practice, Flio-Flow screening is often used in conjunction with SPALECK tensioned-shaft cassettes, for example, when handling very moist and sticky material. Alternatively, SPALECK AutoCLEAN screening technology is used here.

During the processing of waste wood, the recycling screen reliably separates different particle sizes from one another. Pieces of wood, foreign matter, and debris are sorted into specific categories. The recycling screen operates with virtually no need for cleaning. Accurate sorting is important so that, for example, only material of the optimal size can be fed into downstream energy recovery processes. This increases the overall efficiency of processing and recycling.

SPALECK recycling screens are also available specifically for sorting used batteries and rechargeable batteries. Here, they not only sort the batteries by size, but also reliably remove contaminants. This lays the groundwork for ensuring that downstream sorting can proceed smoothly and that materials are sorted by type. In the picture, you can see the unit in operation in front of an XRT X-ray sorting machine.
