Separate more and recover cleaner material with the Komptech Hurrikan S.

This mobile wind sifter uses a patented pressure-suction process to remove plastic film and other light contaminants from screen overflow, achieving separation efficiency of up to 95% and throughput of up to 60 m³/h.

Adjustable fan settings allow performance to be tailored to the material, while optional magnetic and roller separators can remove metals and stones for an even cleaner recyclable output.

2. Bin collection frequency and contamination
3. Caddy liner use, confusion and behaviour change
4. Hazardous contaminants (batteries, vapes, glass, needles)
