Take Control of Plastic Waste Contamination — With the Komptech Hurrikan S Contact UsView Our InventoryClean Up Your Waste Stream with Precision
Plastic film, bags, and wrap are the scourge of waste and recycling operations. While rigid plastics are easy enough to recycle, soft plastics are everywhere, especially in incoming waste streams at composting facilities and recycling centres. Before you can compost or mulch organic waste, you’ve got to remove those plastics. That’s where the Komptech Hurrikan S Windsifter comes in.
A Smarter Way to Clean Up Your Waste Stream
The Komptech Hurrikan S is a mobile windsifter designed to remove contaminants like plastic film, shopping bags, and lightweight packaging from screened overs. Its patented pressure-suction separation system uses a powerful combination of targeted airflow and high-capacity suction to extract unwanted materials with precision and speed — even at high throughputs.
What Goes In
Pre-screened but unfinished compost including overs and contaminated materials including plastics.
What Comes out
High-throughput separation of up to 95% of lightweight plastics, films, foils, rocks and Fe-metals from screened compost overs.
What It Does
Material is first separated by a targeted air knife. Then, lightweight materials are drawn out by an adjustable suction blower.
Key features include:
Patented Air Knife System – Targets and lifts plastic film from organic fractions.
Suction Blower Technology – Draws out light fractions cleanly and efficiently.
Optional Magnetic Drum & Stone Separator – Removes ferrous metals and heavy objects like rocks, automatically.
Vibrating Infeed Conveyor – Keeps material flowing and prevents blockages.
