Recover More from Mixed C&D Waste
Construction and demolition waste can contain concrete, brick, soil, timber, metals, plastics, plasterboard and other recoverable materials. Variations in material size, composition and contamination can make efficient separation difficult.
Vertech fixed and mobile processing equipment allows operators to screen material by size, remove oversized items and create accessible picking points for recovering valuable fractions. Equipment can be deployed individually or arranged into a modular processing line that can adapt as feedstock and site requirements change.
C&D Inputs and Recovered Materials
Every C&D waste stream is different. The appropriate equipment configuration depends on the incoming material, level of contamination and required recovered outputs.
Typical inputs
- Mixed construction and demolition waste
- Skip-bin and transfer-station material
- Concrete, brick and masonry
- Soil and excavated material
- Timber and packaging waste
- Mixed commercial and industrial waste
- Pre-processed or shredded material
Potential recovered outputs
- Aggregates and masonry
- Soil and fines
- Timber
- Ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Plastics
- Cardboard
- Plasterboard
- Oversized material for further processing
- Residual waste
The achievable recovery and output quality depend on the feedstock, selected equipment and operating conditions.
Static C&D Sorting Solutions
Vertech static sorting systems provide a permanent, integrated solution for construction, demolition, commercial and industrial waste processing. Each system is engineered around the incoming waste profile, required throughput, available site footprint and target recovered materials.
A static processing line can combine primary screening, fines recovery, manual or automated sorting, air and density separation, magnetic separation and conveying. By coordinating each stage of the process, the system supports consistent material flow and improved recovery across mixed waste streams.
A Complete Engineered Processing Line
Depending on the application, a Vertech static sorting system may incorporate:
- Steel belt feeders and infeed conveyors
- Trommels and sorting screens
- Fines recovery systems
- Picking stations
- Air and density separation units
- Overband magnets for ferrous metal recovery
- Light-material separation
- Transfer and output conveyors
- Integrated controls
Static systems can be configured for mixed C&D waste, commercial and industrial waste, commingled recycling, bulky waste separation and organics pre-sorting.
Static Trommel Screens
Vertech static trommel screens provide reliable sizing and separation within permanent C&D and C&I waste-processing systems. Material passes through a rotating screening drum, separating fines and smaller fractions from oversized material to create consistent streams for further sorting and recovery.
Each trommel can be configured around the feedstock, required throughput and target screen sizes, with suitable drum apertures, infeed conveyors and discharge arrangements.
Static trommels can operate as a standalone screening stage or integrate with picking stations, magnets, air separation equipment and conveyors as part of a complete processing line.
The Vertech STS620 Static Trommel is a heavy-duty screening solution engineered for high-capacity waste, recycling and organics processing applications.

Mobile C&D Sorting Solutions
Vertech mobile sorting systems provide a flexible solution for processing construction, demolition, commercial and industrial waste across permanent or changing work sites. Mobile picking stations, trommel screens and scalping screeners can operate independently or be combined into a coordinated recovery line.
Flexible Screening and Sorting Equipment
Depending on the application, a Vertech mobile sorting system may incorporate:
- Tracked trommel screens for separating material by size
- Scalping screeners for removing fines, oversized and bulky material
- Mobile picking stations for recovering up to six material fractions per pass
- Integrated conveyors and discharge points
- Diesel or electric-powered picking station configurations
- Enclosed, air-conditioned picking cabins
These systems can support mixed C&D and C&I waste recovery, bulky waste separation, trommel-based processing and organics pre-sorting applications.
Mobile Sorting Stations
Vertech mobile sorting stations provide a flexible platform for manually separating recoverable materials from mixed C&D and C&I waste streams. Material travels along an elevated picking conveyor, allowing operators to remove selected fractions and direct them through individual chutes into collection bays or bins below.
Available with up to six picking positions, enclosed air-conditioned cabins and diesel or electric power options, each station can operate independently or integrate with mobile trommels, scalping screeners and conveyors.
Their mobile configuration supports fast deployment and relocation between processing areas or project sites as feedstock and operational requirements change.
The VER122C is a compact mobile picking station designed for flexible, on-site material separation. Ideal for smaller footprint operations and regional facilities, it delivers efficient multi-material recovery with fast setup and easy transport between sites.
The VER122C+ builds on the VER122C platform with an extended chassis, providing increased working length and greater operational flexibility. It maintains the same working height and transport practicality while offering improved material handling capacity.
The VER122M is a high-capacity mobile picking station engineered for larger waste volumes and demanding processing environments. It delivers a large sorting platform for high-volume C&D, C&I and MSW facilities requiring maximum recovery performance and expanded sorting capability.
The VER122T is a high-performance, fully mobile sorting solution designed for efficient onsite separation of mixed waste streams. Featuring tracked mobility, integrated air separation, ferrous recovery and a safe picking cabin, it enables operators to recover up to seven materials per pass across multiple applications and sites.
The Vertech VER123M Mobile Picking Station is a high-capacity onsite sorting solution designed to recover up to six material streams in a single pass. Featuring 3 bays and 6 picking stations it provides flexibility, improved material quality and increased recovery performance across C&D, C&I, organic and municipal waste streams.
Mobile Trommel Screens
Vertech mobile trommel screens provide efficient sizing and separation of mixed C&D and C&I waste streams. Material passes through a rotating screening drum, separating fines and smaller fractions from oversized material to create more consistent outputs for further sorting or processing.
Available in tracked configurations, mobile trommels can operate independently or feed sorting stations, conveyors and other downstream equipment as part of a modular recovery line.
Their mobile design supports fast setup and easy relocation between processing areas or project sites as feedstock and operational requirements change.
