Because of the diversity of applications for these machines, a larger Turbo Separator II has been introduced to handle products such as gypsum board and cement. This unit will separate the paper and gypsum in wallboard operations for recovery of waste gypsum.

Product Separator Operation

The product is introduced into the Scott Turbo Separator via a flanged inlet where the product is cycled through the agitator. The variable RPMs, along with the design features of the beater blades and breaker bars, separate the product from its packaging. The product is routed through a center discharge where a screen filters the product. Various screens are available depending on the product's size and consistency. The packaging material continues through the cylinder to an end discharge for disposal or recycling.
