Air Drum Separator (ADS)
from Waste Industry ProductsAt Impact, they have developed a suite of advanced systems to tackle today’s recycling challenges. From the Zigzag Air Classifier (ZAC) and FilmVac and FilmLift systems to Windshifter solutions, every innovation is designed to maximize material recovery, improve quality, and streamline operations. One standout technology is the newly enhanced Air Drum Separator (ADS). Engineered through a full redesign process, the ADS sets a new standard for flexibility, efficiency, and reliability. Recycling operations are under pressure to deliver cleaner, higher-value materials while managing costs and staying ahead of regulation. The refined ADS was built to meet these challenges head-on. Whether handling MSW, RDF, SRF, C&D, or ASR, the ADS consistently delivers outstanding results. Designed to separate mixed material streams into lights and heavies, it offers precise, high-capacity performance while being simple to operate and maintain. The result? Better quality outputs, greater recovery rates, and improved bottom lines. Key Advantages: • Excellent separation of light and heavy fractions • High throughput with low energy consumption • Easy to operate, clean, and maintain • Adaptable to different material types and site setups • Quick return on investment through increased recovery and reduced landfill With three standard widths—900mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm—and throughput capacity from 20 to 250m³/hr, the ADS is tailored for performance.Advanced features include: • Adjustable drum movement for flexible separation • Variable-angle air nozzles for precision control • Energy-efficient primary fan with VFD control • ATEX-compliant integrated dust control • Self-cleaning drum and belt scrapers • Secondary vacuum fan for optimal pressure balance The versatility of the ADS makes it ideal for a wide range of recycling and recovery applications. Whether separating plastics, light paper, foils, insulation, or similar light materials, the system delivers robust performance across the board. For more information, visit www.impactairsystems.com.
