With stricter European recycling targets on the horizon, food waste processors are under increasing pressure to deliver cleaner plastics, higher organics recovery, and more efficient recycling streams. Mavitec’s Paddle Washer and Grit Cyclone are already proving their value at more than 20 sites across Europe – helping operators reduce disposal volumes, lower operating costs, and protect downstream equipment.
Cleaner plastics, higher recovery
Building on the proven separation of the Paddle Depacker, the Paddle Washer takes the plastic fraction to the next level. By thoroughly washing the plastics, the output becomes cleaner and drier, ready to meet stricter standards. At the same time, integrating the Paddle Washer enables the use of smaller screens in the Depacker, resulting in a finer, cleaner organic soup with higher recovery rates.
The outcome: plastics that are easier to recycle and organics that are simpler and more efficient to process.

Protecting equipment, refining organics
The Grit Cyclone takes efficiency one step further, separating abrasive particles such as shells, glass, and stones from the organic fraction. This prevents pump wear, reduces maintenance downtime, and guarantees safer daily operation. Developed in close cooperation with customers and based on extensive on-site testing, the Grit Cyclone has been continuously refined for even greater reliability in daily operation.
