hamos EKS
With hamos EKS electrostatic separators, you can separate plastic mixtures into their components in a dry process. hamos EKS separators can also be used to separate unwanted plastic impurities.
By utilising the tribo-electric behaviour of the individual plastics, the hamos EKS separates your mixed materials into unmixed fractions with little effort. This allows you to recover valuable raw materials for new, high-quality products from mixed plastic waste.
To achieve an optimum separation result, the plastic mixtures to be separated must be as follows:
- Mixture of non-conductors
- Completely digested material (no material composites)
- Different tribo-electric charging behaviour
- Dry material (ideal surface moisture content less than 0.4 %)
- Dedusted material
- Particle size between 2 and 12 mm
- Ideally a two-component mixture
Not sure whether your material is suitable for electrostatic separation? Talk to our experts. After consultation, you are welcome to send us a material sample of approx. 20 kg, which we can use to test the separability of your material in our technical centre.
We will show you the purities and throughputs we can achieve with your material. You will receive our test report based on these separation results. We will then be happy to offer you the optimum device or system for your application.
You will be amazed at the added value you can achieve with your material once it has been separated into clean fractions!
hamos EKS electrostatic plastic separators use the differences in the tribo-electrical behaviour of the individual plastics for separation.
The plastic mixture is fed into a so-called tribo-electric charging unit via a vibrating conveyor. Different plastics are selectively charged in a material-specific manner and take on a positive or negative charge. This effect is caused by the transfer of electrons from one particle to another.
After charging, the plastic mixture enters a high-voltage field where the components are separated electrostatically into pure fractions due to their different charges. Positive particles are attracted to a negative electrode, while the negative particles are repelled and vice versa.
With minor modifications to the charging unit and a readjustment of the separating plates, it is possible to separate different plastics one after the other without great effort. For example, PET-PVC and then PE-PP can be separated with the same machine.

Professionals work with professionals
The separation systems supplied by hamos are an essential part of ensuring the highest quality
of the products supplied to the market by Metal-Plast.
By using hamos solutions, we have increased the processing capacity of our plant and
The products manufactured by Metal-Plast are of the highest quality.
- Grzegorz Jasiński, Chairman of the Board
We are very satisfied with the standard that hamos GmbH has achieved. Previously, it was not possible to sort PVC from profile offcuts and production waste fully automatically to this high standard of quality and purity. This development has helped us to completely close the material cycle in window profile production. A new world-class standard was born.
- Jörg Ipfling, Manager Recycling Technology Window Solutions at Rehau
After 21 years of operation, our experience with the hamos WRS window recycling system has been very positive. The plant is a
important part of our process. It helps us to achieve our targets. It guarantees the highest quality required for
the PVC is required, thus increasing the overall performance of our process.
The hamos system has become indispensable and "closes our recycling loop."
- Bodo Streubel, Operations Manager of Dekura Bad Schmiedeberg
The electrostatic recycling systems from HAMOS make a very important contribution to the recycling process thanks to their good separation performance.
