About the
Ecohog EH1500-SM1 Static Windshifter
The Ecohog EH1500-SM1 Static Windshifter is a precision air separation unit designed for fixed or static applications in recycling, waste processing, and organic material handling. The Echohog Windshifter offers a compact footprint and standalone operation while maintaining high separation efficiency. Using controlled airflow and adjustable settings, it splits materials based on density, allowing operators to recover valuable fractions while protecting downstream equipment from contamination and damage.
Engineered for high performance, the EH1500-SM1 density seperator achieves up to 99% separation efficiency depending on material type and feed conditions. It features a hooded lights conveyor, an infeed accelerator conveyor, radial blower fans, and a drop-down heavy chute with a standalone heavy conveyor. These components work together to ensure consistent, precise separation of light and heavy materials while minimising dust emissions and operational costs. The separator plugs directly into mains power, providing reliable, low-maintenance operation.
The static windshifter handles a wide range of materials including compost, construction and demolition waste, commercial and industrial waste, glass, RDF, SRF, bottom ash, and electronic and electrical waste. It can even separate metals from the heavy stream if the optional overhead magnet is added. Its versatility makes it suitable for multiple industries, including compost clean-up, construction and demolition waste management, municipal solid waste, glass processing, and refuse-derived fuel recovery. The EH1500-SM1 separator provides a controlled environment for separating materials.
Designed for operational efficiency, the EH1500-SM1 incorporates variable speed drive motors on all conveyors and radial blower fans, allowing operators to fine-tune performance according to feed conditions and desired separation. Its compact design makes it easy to integrate with existing processing lines, providing a scalable solution for facilities looking to improve recovery rates without major site modifications. Safety features including a pre-start siren and dual-channel emergency stop provide operator confidence in busy processing environments.
The Ecohog EH1500-SM1 Windshifter is a practical, durable, and energy-efficient solution for stationary density separation. For businesses seeking Windshifter Australian solutions or reliable density separator machines, this Windshifter provides a reliable, low-maintenance option that maximises product quality, protects equipment, and delivers consistent, high-performance material separation across a wide range of recycling and waste streams.
