Bartontech Star & Disc Screening Machines: Advanced Material Separation

Efficient material separation is the foundation of any profitable recycling facility. The Bartontech Star and Disc Screening Machines provide a dynamic, high-throughput solution for classifying mixed materials by size. Using a series of rotating shafts equipped with specialized rubber or steel stars (or discs), these machines aggressively agitate and separate the material flow, allowing fine particles to drop through while oversized items are carried forward.

Key Features & Operational Benefits:

  • Anti-Clogging Technology: Unlike traditional trommel screens that quickly blind and clog when processing wet, sticky, or stringy materials, the dynamic movement of the rotating stars ensures continuous, self-cleaning operation.
  • Exceptional Throughput: Designed to handle massive volumes of material rapidly, making them the perfect screening solution for high-capacity Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs).
  • Highly Versatile Applications: Unbeatably efficient at sorting a wide variety of difficult materials, including Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), compost, biomass, shredded wood, construction and demolition (C&D) waste, and mixed paper/cardboard.
  • Adjustable Separation Sizing: Shaft speed and spacing can often be tailored to change the fraction size, giving your facility complete control over the final sorted product.
  • Heavy-Duty Durability: Engineered with rugged drive systems, heavy-duty bearings, and wear-resistant screening elements to guarantee a long lifespan in harsh industrial environments.
