Wind Sifting Unit
Wind sifting units, like the AIRFIX V 60, provide an efficient solution for removing lightweight impurities such as plastic films and bags from screened material. Designed to integrate seamlessly with trommel or star screening machines, these compact units use powerful airflow to separate contaminants, improving material purity in applications such as composting, recycling, and waste processing.

Wind Sifter Unit
Eggersmann wind sifters provide advanced air‑separation technology designed to efficiently remove lightweight contaminants from a wide range of waste streams. By using controlled airflow, these systems reliably extract plastics, films, paper and other light impurities, significantly improving the purity of recycled materials. Ideal for mixed waste, compost, biomass, C&D waste and RDF production, Eggersmann wind sifters deliver cleaner fractions, higher recovery rates and more consistent output quality. Their robust design, precise adjustability and ability to integrate seamlessly into existing waste‑processing lines make them essential for boosting operational efficiency and enhancing overall recycling performance.
What Is Air Separation?
Air separation uses controlled airflow to divide materials by weight and density. Light contaminants such as plastics, films, and paper are lifted away, while heavier fractions fall through. This process improves material purity, reduces manual sorting, and prepares waste for efficient downstream processing.
Is Air Separation Effective?
Air separation removes lightweight plastics, films, fibres, and debris from organic waste streams, helping produce cleaner compost and higher‑quality biomass. By reducing contamination early in the process, it improves biological efficiency and ensures the organic fraction meets strict quality standards.
Fitting Versatility
Eggersmann wind sifters offer flexible installation and can be integrated into new or existing recycling lines. They work effectively after shredders, trommel screens, or star screens, with adjustable airflow and modular setups that allow operators to tailor performance to different waste types.
