Ballistic separator
A machine that sorts organic from inorganic matter for composting. The basic principle of the ballistic separator is to pass the waste consisting of the heavier stones, glass, metal, rubber and the lighter organic materials over a rotor that has impellers to fling the materials in the air; the lighter organic (compostable) material travels a shorter distance than the heavier (noncompostable) material.
