              • Precise alignment of the distribution discs

              The simple way to perfect distribution
              Optimal material distribution is essential for many sorting processes, whether NIR, ballistic sorting or air separation. Only if the entire belt width is really evenly loaded with material, the sorting machines are used profitably.

              The DiscSpreader is the simple answer to this problem. Conventional distribution systems – such as vibratory tables, have a number of disadvantages: In addition to the considerably longer installation length, these devices also reach their limits with vibration-absorbing materials, such as lightweight films. Furthermore, even with low-adhesion materials, the longer contact with the surface leads to a significantly higher cleaning effort.

              Our space-saving disc distributor has been popular for years. Our latest further development offers you numerous additional advantages. There is no longer any need for staff to re-align the distribution disc if the distribution quality is no longer optimal. Together with leading AI developers from the Technical University of Cologne, we have developed a solution that automatically aligns the discs with the help of artificial intelligence. Cameras above the conveyor belt permanently monitor how the material is distributed.
              The self-learning algorithm permanently collects new data and can thus adjust to any change in the material flow at lightning speed. The patented system is mounted directly on the accelerator belt and thus ensures maximum efficiency of subsequent sorting units.
          • Materials

          • Westeria offers you a comprehensive product range for processing a wide variety of materials. On this page you will find a selection of materials for which we offer optimally tailored solutions.
              • Refuse-derived fuel (RDF)

              • Promoter natural resources
                Refuse-derived fuels have long played an important role in the circular economy. Recycling companies ensure that waste from municipalities or industry becomes alternative raw materials and fuels.

                One of the main customers for these substitute fuels is the cement industry, which thus supports the reduction of the demand for fossil fuels.

                Our machines are part of this cycle, dosing and conveying these substitute fuels into the combustion plant.
              • Plastic

              • Convertible material
                Plastic is a convertible material with countless areas of application. If the plastic waste is sorted by type, it can form valuable starting material for the manufacture of new plastic products. The use of plastic recyclates is demanded by society and increasingly implemented by politicians. In the coming years, the circular economy will move from being a theoretical model to an everyday reality. Today, waste management companies already need precisely functioning sorting technology in order to be able to extract the purest possible secondary raw materials from the waste stream. Only high-quality recycled plastics can be used to manufacture products that can be used in the long term.
              • Organic waste

              • Processing technologies make a valuable contribution
                Organic waste is one of the most important and versatile renewable energy sources in Europe. It is stored solar energy in the form of energy crops, wood or residual materials such as straw or organic waste.

                Biological drying reduces the moisture content of the waste to such an extent that subsequent mechanical sorting can take place very efficiently.

                The AirLift move frees your material from impurities as uncomplicatedly as never before and thus achieves a high quality of the product.
              • Waste

              • Waste is a recyclable material
