Treatment plants for household and commercial waste
Efficient separation solutions with SPLITTER technology
Mechanical pre-treatment plays a central role in every waste processing plant for domestic and commercial waste - this is where the SPLITTER comes in. The powerful and flexible spiral shaft separator from ALBG optimally processes household and commercial waste: Different material fractions are efficiently separated from each other through targeted loosening and even dosing.
This preparatory processing improves the sorting quality and enables valuable materials to be fed back into the recycling process - both in the treatment plant for household waste and in the treatment plant for commercial waste. The robust SPLITTER technology supports flexible plant planning, ensures low operating costs and enables rapid adaptation to changing input streams and market requirements.
The SPLITTER can be used in a wide variety of plant concepts, making it a real all-rounder in the separation sector.

The challenge
- Developments on the market and the legal situation mean that material recycling is becoming increasingly important
- Highly contaminated material tends to wrap and clog the screening system
- Increasing demand for high calorific value fractions (RDF)
- Constant screening performance / quality
Practical examples of domestic and commercial waste
Pre-shredded domestic and commercial waste is separated. The aim is an RDF with a medium calorific value.
Feed material: Pre-shredded domestic and commercial waste
Target material: RDF of medium calorific value with a screening <100 mm grain size
The SPLITTER as a solution
- Separation of high-energy material during pre-screening for the subsequent process
- Problem-free processing of input material containing impurities
- Screening before shredding - reduction of wear and energy costs on the shredder
- High process reliability
- Replacement of inefficient existing technologies
- Good pre-treatment allows valuable materials (e.g. metals) to be recovered and the non-recyclable components of the material can be processed into RDF, for example
The all-rounder SPLITTER in use: separating before or after the shredder
Separation before the shredder
Unshredded domestic and commercial waste is separated as a preliminary stage to the shredder. The aim is pre-separation to reduce wear costs on the shredder (blade life increased from 250 h to 450 h). Feed material: Unshredded household and commercial waste
Target material: Pre-separation of oversized particles (>200 mm goes into the shredder and then into the downstream process), undersized particles (<200 mm goes directly into the downstream process)
- The material flow is separated to protect the downstream units:
- The oversize or good material goes into the shredder
- The undersized particles (e.g. fines / minerals) are separated out
- Low operating costs due to:
- Reduction of wear costs on the shredder
- Reduction of energy costs
Separation after the shredder
- Pre-shredded domestic and commercial waste is broken down and prepared for subsequent processes (optical sorting, FE separation, NF separation, air separation and secondary shredding)
- The SPLITTER at the start of the process enables the separation process to function reliably
- Sieve cut SPLITTER 0-80/100 mm
- Throughput rates of up to 50 t/h
The advantages of the SPLITTER
- Wear-resistant and clogging-free
- Also very suitable for unshredded material
- Optimum loosening and dosing for subsequent processes
- Screen gaps do not clog: consistent screen quality
- Tearing apart of the material flow > low wear on the screen deck
- Dynamic screen gaps > qualitatively and quantitatively consistent screening results
- Oversize grain recirculation to increase throughput while saving wear and energy at the same time
- Self-cleaning effect > low-maintenance system
Treatment plant for substitute fuels - practical example of RDF treatment with SPLITTER technology
The SPLITTER ensures optimum pre-treatment of domestic/commercial waste for future use as substitute fuel, among other things. The optionally pre-shredded or unshredded material is broken down and prepared for subsequent processes such as Fe separation, Ne separation, air separation and post-shredding. Thanks to its unique design, the SPLITTER can combine a number of advantages:
- Self-cleaning effect: turns the SPLITTER into a low-maintenance system
- Tearing apart the material flow: causes extremely low wear on the screen deck
- Low drive power: ensures manageable operating costs for the SPLITTER
- Dynamic screen gaps: enable qualitatively and quantitatively consistent screening results
All subsequent processes benefit from pre-treatment with the SPLITTER, which has a positive effect on system availability and the output of recyclable materials.
The advantages of the SPLITTER are primarily reflected in its alternative application upstream of a shredding stage. Thanks to its specific design and mode of operation, the SPLITTER is also able to process unshredded material effectively. The stress and therefore also the wear on the downstream shredder can be significantly reduced.

Domestic and commercial waste includes all waste from private households or commercial businesses that cannot be reused or recycled. This includes, for example, heavily soiled materials, residual waste, hygiene articles or other materials that do not belong in the recyclable waste collection.
Domestic and commercial waste should not contain any waste that must be collected separately or disposed of separately. This includes recyclable materials such as waste paper, waste glass, scrap metal, organic waste and plastic packaging. Construction waste and hazardous waste such as batteries, rechargeable batteries, gas cylinders, electrical waste, paints and varnishes are also prohibited - they are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.
Domestic waste is generated in private households and typically includes everyday waste such as packaging, food waste and hygiene products. Commercial waste, on the other hand, is generated in businesses and companies. It is similar to domestic waste in its composition, but comes from commercial activities and is often subject to different disposal regulations.
After collection, domestic and commercial waste is processed in special sorting plants. There, the waste is first shredded and then processed using various technical methods. Recyclable materials such as metals, plastics and non-metals are sorted out. The remaining residual materials are separated according to their size and used to generate energy in waste incineration plants.
Anlagenbau Günther develops high-performance machines and complete solutions for the efficient processing of household and commercial waste. With innovative systems such as light material separators, non-ferrous/ferrous separators as well as dosing, screening and conveying systems, waste can be reliably pre-sorted, separated and processed for recycling - an important contribution to the sustainable use of resources.
The SPLITTER efficiently sorts the previously shredded material according to grain size. Fine components that are already the desired size are discharged directly for further processing. Oversized material, on the other hand, is automatically returned to be shredded again. In this way, the SPLITTER makes a significant contribution to a continuous and effective treatment process for household and commercial waste.
Yes, the use of conveyor technology is essential when processing domestic and commercial waste - especially in stationary systems. After each processing step, the material must be reliably transported to the next processing stage. Robust conveyor belts are used here to ensure a continuous and efficient material flow.
No, domestic and commercial waste can be processed efficiently not only in stationary, but also in mobile or semi-mobile plants. The most suitable solution depends on the type of waste, the location and the planned recycling process. Anlagenbau Günther offers individually adaptable systems for this - from compact, mobile plants to complex stationary processing lines. This allows domestic and commercial waste to be processed flexibly and economically.
