It can achieve an organic matter recovery rate of ≥90% and an impurity removal rate of ≥95%, with processing efficiency improved by 40% compared to traditional equipment, laying a solid foundation for subsequent resource recovery processes.

Introduction to Core Models

The shaftless drum screeners are specifically designed for food waste with high moisture content. Featuring a centerless shaft structure, they effectively prevent material entanglement while also being resistant to screen clogging. They can handle food waste with moisture levels of 70%-80%, meeting the screening needs of wet, sticky kitchen waste, efficiently separating materials of different particle sizes and providing a classified basis for downstream processing stages.

The bag-breaking and sorting integrated machine combines bag breaking, crushing, screening, magnetic separation, and gravity separation into one unit, enabling integrated multi-step processing. Its crushing efficiency exceeds 98%, sorting accuracy reaches up to 95%, and its daily processing capacity can reach 20 tons. This model can complete bag breaking, volume reduction, and impurity separation in a single step, significantly boosting pre-processing efficiency, reducing the cumbersome procedures associated with connecting multiple pieces of equipment, and lowering both space requirements and operational costs.

The intelligent visual sorting machine is equipped with an AI-powered visual recognition system and a high-speed robotic arm, achieving a sorting rate of ≥95%. It can accurately identify and separate various impurities such as plastics and metals from food waste, continuously optimizing recognition accuracy through AI algorithms to adapt to the complex and ever-changing composition of food waste, enabling efficient, intelligent sorting, minimizing manual intervention, and enhancing sorting stability and precision.
