Inclone Screen Separators for Paper, Plastic, and Bulk Scrap Operations
The Inclone operates at zero pressure with no moving parts, no rotary airlocks, and no material conveyors between separator and baler, eliminating the maintenance and replacement costs those components create. Gravity performs the separation, and material falls naturally into the baler feed chute with maximum chute height and no mechanical transfer.
Key Highlights:
- Zero-pressure gravity separation with no moving parts or mechanical discharge
- Direct baler feed eliminates airlocks and conveyors between separator and baler
- Dust compressed and baled with scrap trimmings for single-stream disposal
How Does the Inclone Receiver Reduce Maintenance and Simplify Scrap Handling?
Conventional scrap separation systems rely on rotary airlocks and material conveyors to move separated product from the receiver to the baler. Those components wear, jam, and require frequent maintenance or replacement, especially in high-volume paper and plastic scrap operations. The Inclone eliminates all of them.
- Downstream pulse jet baghouse, cartridge, or drum filter captures residual dust
- Filtered dust compressed and augered into the bale chute with scrap waste
- Filtered air returned to the facility for energy-efficient recirculation
Why Do Scrap Recovery Operations Choose the Inclone Over Conventional Receivers?
The Inclone was engineered for scrap recovery applications where maintenance downtime and mechanical complexity are the primary cost drivers. Removing airlocks, conveyors, and pressure-dependent discharge from the separation process reduces wear components in your scrap handling line to near zero.
- No airlocks, no conveyors, no mechanical transfer between separator and baler
- Maximum baler chute height preserved by direct gravity-fed material discharge
- Compatible with pulse jet baghouse, cartridge filter, or drum filter configurations
Start With a Site Evaluation
Most dust and scrap problems are visible to a trained eye. The issue is that most vendors never bother to look — they quote from a desk and ship a catalog product.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Inclone separate material without airlocks or conveyors?
The Inclone uses gravity and centrifugal force to separate material from the airstream, then balances and neutralizes internal air pressure so product falls naturally into the baler feed chute without mechanical discharge.
What types of scrap material can the Inclone handle?
The Inclone is designed for scrap paper, paper trimmings, plastic film, and similar lightweight bulk materials generated by conveying systems and shredders in recycling and manufacturing operations.
What happens to the dust the Inclone separates from the scrap?
A downstream baghouse, cartridge filter, or drum filter captures the fine dust, which is then compressed and augered into the bale chute to be baled with the scrap waste for consolidated disposal.
How does the Inclone compare to a standard cyclone separator?
Both use centrifugal force, but the Inclone adds zero-pressure operation and direct gravity discharge to the baler, eliminating the airlocks and conveyors a standard cyclone requires for material transfer.
