Ballistic separator for paper, cardboard, and foil
Optimize your waste stream with high-precision material separation, ensuring up to 98% recovery of recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, and film, while efficiently separating out containers, bottles, and stones for streamlined recycling processes.

Separates Lightweight Materials from Heavy Objects
The Lubo PaperMagnet, a state-of-the-art ballistic separator by Bollegraaf, excels in sorting paper, cardboard, and foil from varied waste streams. Utilizing a steep-angled conveyor, it leverages gravity and vacuum force to separate lightweight 2D materials from heavier 3D objects like containers, bottles, and stones, achieving up to 98% recovery. It serves industries like recycling, municipal solid waste processing, and construction debris management, producing end-products such as recycled paper and plastic film recyclate. With adjustable parameters like conveyor speed and airflow pressure, it ensures optimal separation efficiency for various material compositions. Designed for high-speed, continuous operations, it offers easy maintenance and options for increased purity, such as a ruffler device to further differentiate trapped materials.
