What is a Disc Screen?

A disc screen is a type of mechanical screening equipment used extensively in waste management and recycling facilities to separate materials by size and shape. Unlike traditional trommel screens or vibrating screens, disc screens utilize a series of rotating shafts fitted with interlocking discs that create a dynamic screening surface.

As material moves across these rotating discs, smaller particles fall through the gaps while larger items continue along the screen deck. This continuous motion also helps separate two-dimensional materials (like paper and film) from three-dimensional items (like bottles and containers), making disc screens invaluable for preparing material streams for downstream processing.

Qinglv's disc screen represents the pinnacle of this technology, designed specifically for high-capacity coarse screening applications. Whether separating organic materials from mixed municipal solid waste, extracting large contaminants from construction debris, or processing industrial solid waste, our disc screen delivers consistent, reliable performance.

Key Features of Qinglv's Disc Screen

Our disc screen incorporates advanced engineering and thoughtful design elements that set it apart in the industry:

High-Performance Drive System:We utilize energy-efficient motors paired with specially designed reducers that deliver both exceptional stability and superior screening efficiency. This combination ensures your operation runs smoothly while minimizing energy consumption.

Proprietary Disc Design:The unique disc configuration creates dynamic screening apertures that adjust as the discs rotate, achieving higher precision than conventional static screens. This innovative design eliminates the blind spots common in traditional disc screens, ensuring accurate particle size classification.

Anti-Clogging Engineering:One of the most significant challenges in screening operations is material wrapping and clogging. Qinglv's special disc design actively prevents clogging, even when processing moist or sticky waste streams. The faceted disc shape liberates stuck materials, minimizing stoppages and maximizing uptime.

Exceptional Durability:Built to withstand heavy loads and continuous operation, our disc screen maintains stable long-term performance even under the most demanding conditions. With throughput capacity reaching up to 80 m³/h, it delivers the high-volume processing today's facilities require.

Compact Footprint:Our space-efficient design reduces floor space requirements without compromising performance. This translates to lower facility construction costs and more efficient use of valuable real estate.

Low Maintenance Requirements:The robust construction and thoughtful design significantly reduce maintenance needs. When service is required, the modular components make repairs quick and straightforward.

Applications of Disc Screens

The versatility of Qinglv's disc screen makes it suitable for a wide range of waste recycling applications:

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Processing – In MSW facilities, disc screens excel at separating organic fines from the mixed stream, preparing materials for further sorting through equipment like our AI Sorting Robot and AI Optical Sorter.

Construction and Demolition Waste – C&D debris presents unique challenges with its varied composition and heavy contaminants. Our disc screen efficiently separates wood, plastics, and small aggregates from larger debris, creating cleaner fractions for downstream processing through our 3D Sorter and Magnetic Separator.

Industrial and Commercial Waste – Facilities processing industrial waste benefit from the disc screen's ability to handle high volumes while maintaining separation accuracy.

Landfill Mining Operations – Aged waste presents particular challenges with its varied composition and moisture content. Our disc screen's anti-clogging design proves invaluable in these demanding applications.

Pre-Sorting for AI Systems – By creating a more uniform and properly sized feed stream, the disc screen optimizes the performance of downstream AI garbage sorting equipment, including our AI Sorting Robot and optical sorters.

Benefits of Using Disc Screens

Integrating Qinglv's disc screen into your waste sorting line delivers tangible operational advantages:

Superior Sorting Quality – The precise separation achieved by our disc screen results in higher purity output streams, which directly translates to increased material value.

Reduced Downtime – The anti-clogging design and durable construction minimize unplanned stoppages, keeping your operation running productively.

Energy Efficiency – Our efficient drive system consumes significantly less power than comparable screening technologies, reducing operational costs.

Lower Maintenance Costs – With fewer wear points and robust construction, maintenance requirements and associated expenses are substantially reduced.

Enhanced System Flexibility – The ability to process diverse waste streams with the same equipment allows facilities to adapt to changing market conditions.

Improved Downstream Performance – By delivering properly sized and classified material to downstream equipment like Eddy Current Separators, Wind Shifters, and RDF Pellet Machines, the disc screen maximizes the effectiveness of your entire sorting line.

Our Commitment to Innovation

At Qinglv Environment, we understand that effective waste management requires more than individual pieces of equipment—it demands integrated solutions. Our disc screen is designed to work seamlessly within a comprehensive sorting ecosystem that includes:

Bag Breakers for initial material liberation
