MATERIAL SEPARATORS FOR PAPER, WOOD AND CARDBOARD
Industrial Material Separators for Efficient Material Separation
Moldow’s range of industrial material separators is engineered to ensure reliable and energy-efficient material separation before the main filtration stage.
By separating coarse materials and production waste from the conveying air stream, our separators reduce filter load, extend system lifetime and improve overall extraction performance. Whether handling lightweight trim from paper, cardboard and plastic processing or heavier dust fractions from industrial production, Moldow provides optimized separation solutions tailored to each application.



Advantages of Pre-Separation in Dust Extraction Systems
Using a pre-separation unit such as DanSep or cyclones in your dust extraction system provides several operational and performance benefits:
- Removes large material pieces from the airstream before they reach the main filter
- Protects the filter system from overload and mechanical wear
- Improves overall filtration performance by reducing filter burden
- Supports stable and continuous operation with fewer blockages and pressure fluctuations
- Extends filter lifetime, reducing maintenance frequency and downtime
- Optimizes energy efficiency by maintaining consistent airflow and lower pressure loss
- Improves waste handling and recycling readiness, especially for paper, cardboard and plastic trim
Application-Specific Material Separation: DanSep, Cyclones & Transflow
For lightweight materials such as paper trim, corrugated cardboard and plastic film, the DanSep material separator functions as a highly efficient pre-separation unit. Installed before the filter and often positioned directly above balers or containers, DanSep ensures effective material separation of production waste while maintaining low pressure loss and stable airflow.
For industries such as woodworking, where heavier particles and larger dust volumes occur, Moldow’s cyclone separators provide robust and reliable material separation. Cyclones are particularly suited for wood chips and coarse dust fractions, offering durable performance in demanding timber and furniture production environments.
For systems requiring controlled transport and separation directly within the ductwork, the Transflow duct separation system offers an integrated solution. Transflow combines conveying and material separation in one compact unit, ensuring smooth transport of trim and waste materials while maintaining consistent airflow. It is particularly suitable for paper and packaging production lines where continuous, reliable material handling is essential.
Together, DanSep, Cyclones and Transflow form a complete portfolio of industrial material separators designed to optimize dust extraction performance across multiple industries.
