Turbo Separator & Depackaging — FAQs

What is the Turbo Separator?
The Turbo Separator is a specialised depackaging and separation system designed to efficiently recover organic material and other valuable products from their packaging without shredding or damaging the packaging. It is suitable for both wet and dry applications and can achieve product recovery rates of up to 99%.
What materials can the Turbo Separator process?
Packaged supermarket food waste, commercial food waste, coffee pods, bread and bakery products, kitchen and catering waste, plastic bottles containing liquids, tea bags, canned food products, paint products, plasterboard waste, and mixed packaged organics.
Does the Turbo Separator shred the packaging?
No. One of the biggest advantages of the Turbo Separator is that it does not unnecessarily shred or damage the packaging during the separation process. This significantly improves the quality of the recovered packaging fraction and reduces contamination.
What recovery rates can be achieved?
The Turbo Separator is capable of recovering up to 99% of both dry and liquid products from their packaging, depending on the material being processed and the selected machine configuration.
Can the Turbo Separator process liquid food waste?
Yes. The Turbo Separator is suitable for processing both liquid and solid food waste streams and can operate in wet or dry configurations depending on the application.
