The Norditek VB1400 Water Bath Separator is a purpose-built waste and recycling separator designed to separate mixed materials according to buoyancy and density. It provides an effective solution for material streams where conventional screening or air separation may struggle to distinguish materials of similar size. By introducing material into the water bath, lighter fractions will float while denser materials sink, allowing businesses to recover cleaner and more valuable outputs from contaminated waste streams.

This density separation system is particularly suited to applications such as separating wood and biomass from stone, concrete and other heavy contaminants. The VB1400 Separator can process material fractions from 5–500mm and produces three distinct fractions - floating material, sinking material and sludge. This makes it a versatile recycling separator for construction and demolition waste, industrial waste, road sweepings, contaminated landfill, wood waste recovery, and other mixed recycling streams.

Operators can fine-tune the water separation process using an adjustable water stream, while the density of the water can also be altered using salt where required for more precise separation. A light-wash function helps remove finer particles from processed material, and an adjustable loading funnel allows the feed to be configured around different materials and upstream equipment. A level sensor and connection for continuous water filling help maintain consistent operation throughout the processing cycle.

The Norditek VB1400 waste separator incorporates dedicated light and heavy discharge conveyors, with brushes helping control material on the conveyor belts. The heavy-material conveyor includes impact bars and a self-cleaning turning roller to support demanding applications. Four-point lifting lugs, a BM bracket and a robust static frame also allow the machine to be incorporated into wider waste processing systems and combined with other sorting equipmentfrom the Norditek modular range.

For operators looking for a water bath separator, density separator, sink float separation system, or recycling separator for sale in Australia, the Norditek VB1400 provides a practical way to recover cleaner material fractions from difficult, contaminated waste.
