Nihot - Model DDS -Double Drum Separator
The Nihot Double Drum Separator (DDS) has two separating sections. This unique separating solutions separates the input into three fractions: heavy, mid-heavy, light.
The Double Drum Separator easily separates various waste qualities, such as:
- Municipal solid waste (MSW)
- Refuse derived fuel (RDF)
- Construction & demolition waste (C&D)
A relative sharp density distrubution of substreams is required.
The picture below shows the operating principles of the Double Drum Separator. Heavier material is separated from lighter materials attwosplitter drums, resulting in three different output fractions.

The heavy material
The heavy material is separated at the first separation point: it will fall down in front of the first splitter drum.
The mid-heavy fraction
The mid-heavy fraction will be separated at the second splitter drum.
The light fraction
At the end of the process, the light fraction is separated from the air (in an air expansion chamber).
