The waste sorting equipment bouncing screen machine is also called 3D Ballistic Separator, ballistic screen, bouncing wind selection screen, Ballistic Separator sorting machine. Bouncing screen is a commonly used garbage sorting equipment, which is an advanced screening technology widely used in the screening of solid waste (household waste, stale waste, construction waste, hazardous waste, waste paper, etc.). Compared with traditional screening methods, bounce screens have higher efficiency and better screening results.
A Ballistic Separator (also known as a ballistic screen) is an advanced waste sorting machine that classifies materials based on their size, shape, and specific gravity. Using a durable crankshaft mechanism, the separator drives the sieve plate to move in multiple directions — up, down, forward, and backward — causing materials to spread and separate efficiently.
This process divides incoming waste into three distinct categories:3D/Rolling Materials. 2D/Flat Materials. Undersized/Fine Particles
Each type is discharged through dedicated outlets, enabling streamlined downstream sorting and recovery. With customizable sieve sizes and an adjustable tilt angle, the ballistic separator delivers high sorting accuracy and adaptability for diverse materials.
Key Benefits & Features:

1.Pay attention to screening efficiency: Screening efficiency is one of the important indicators to measure the performance of garbage bouncing screening machines. If the screening efficiency is not high, it will affect the classification and screening effect of garbage. Therefore, when choosing a garbage bounce screening machine, attention should be paid to its screening efficiency and products with high screening efficiency should be selected. In general, a good garbage bounce screening machine can achieve a screening efficiency of over 90%.
2.Pay attention to stability: The stability of the garbage bounce screening machine is also one of the factors that needs to be considered. If the stability is poor, it will affect the normal operation and long-term effectiveness of the equipment. Therefore, when choosing a garbage bounce screening machine, attention should be paid to its stability and products with good stability should be selected.
3.Pay attention to usability: The usability of the garbage bounce screening machine is also one of the factors that needs to be considered. If the usability is poor, it will affect the operation and maintenance effectiveness. Therefore, when choosing a garbage bounce screening machine, attention should be paid to its usability and products with good usability should be selected.
4.Good energy-saving effect: Compared with some traditional screening equipment, the bouncing screen has lower energy consumption, reduced energy consumption, and good energy-saving effect.
5.Compared with some traditional screening equipment, the vibration mode of the bounce screen produces less noise, reducing noise pollution in the working environment.
6.When choosing a garbage Ballistic Separator , attention should be paid to the requirements of screening efficiency, stability, and ease of use to ensure the normal operation and long-term effectiveness of the equipment
High screening accuracy: The Ballistic Separator adopts a special structure and vibration method, which can accurately separate different materials (2D flat materials, 3D solid materials, and under screen materials), improving the accuracy of screening and enhancing the efficiency of the finished product. 2D materials: refers to lighter, sheet-like materials such as plastic film, packaging bags, paper, cardboard boxes, fiber products, etc; 3D materials: Refers to heavier, rolling materials such as plastic bottles, stones, wooden blocks, boxes, cans, etc; Sieve material: Fine materials such as sand that are smaller than the sieve size.
Convenient maintenance and upkeep: The Ballistic Separator has a simple structure, easy operation, maintenance, and cleaning, which extends the service life of the equipment.
Efficient separation function: The Ballistic Separator adopts high-frequency and small amplitude vibration mode, which can quickly screen out materials that meet the requirements and improve screening efficiency.
The garbage sorting equipment Ballistic Separator is an efficient, precise, low-noise, low-energy, and easy to maintain screening equipment with broad application prospects




A ballistic separator is an advanced waste sorting machine that separates materials based on their size, shape, weight, and elasticity through a
combination of ballistic and screening motions. Here's how it works:
Feeding System: Mixed waste is fed onto the inclined sorting deck via a conveyor belt.
Dual-Motion Mechanism:
The machine combines an elliptical throwing motion with a linear vibration。
This creates two distinct separation trajectories for different materials
Material Separation:
2D Flat Items (cardboard, paper, films):
Follow the upward trajectory and are ejected over the top end
3D Items (bottles, cans): Roll/bounce downward due to their shape and weight
Fine Materials: Fall through perforation in the deck for separate collection
Adjustable Parameters:
Deck angle (typically 10-25° adjustable),Vibration amplitude and frequency.
Ejection angle control.
Output Streams:Typically produces 3 sorted fractions (light 2D, heavy 3D, fines, etc.)
