Professional Vinyl Flooring Separating Machine for Efficient Material Recovery
In the rapidly evolving recycling and flooring industries, efficient material separation is paramount for profitability and sustainability. Our state-of-the-art Vinyl Flooring Separating Machine is engineered to tackle the specific challenge of reclaiming valuable materials from post-consumer and post-industrial vinyl flooring waste. This robust system is designed for high-volume processors seeking to maximize the recovery of PVC, fiberglass, and other components, transforming waste into a revenue stream and supporting circular economy initiatives.
Product Overview
Our vinyl flooring separator is a fully integrated, automated processing line designed to handle the complex structure of multi-layered vinyl flooring products, such as Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT). The machine employs a multi-stage vinyl flooring separating process that cleanly delaminates the wear layer, printed film, PVC core, and fiberglass backing. By utilizing a combination of precise mechanical force, controlled temperature, and advanced screening, it ensures high-purity output fractions ready for recycling or resale. This system is the cornerstone of a modern, efficient recycling operation focused on flooring materials.
Key Features
- Multi-Stage Separation Technology: Employs sequential crushing, grinding, and air classification to achieve superior separation of PVC, minerals, and fiberglass layers.
- Intelligent Control System: A centralized PLC with touchscreen HMI allows for easy operation, process monitoring, and adjustment of parameters for different flooring types.
- High-Throughput Design: Engineered for continuous operation, processing several tons of vinyl flooring waste per hour to meet industrial-scale demands.
- Dust Suppression & Containment: Integrated dust collection systems maintain a clean working environment and ensure operator safety.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with wear-resistant steels and components to ensure durability, minimal downtime, and a long service life in demanding conditions.
- Optimized Particle Size Control: Adjustable screen sizes and grinding mechanisms allow control over the final granulate size for optimal marketability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What types of vinyl flooring can this machine process?
The machine is designed to process both homogeneous (vinyl sheet) and heterogeneous (multi-layer LVT, VCT) flooring types. The settings can be adjusted via the control system to optimize the vinyl flooring separating process for different material compositions.
What is the typical purity rate of the recovered PVC?
Our system consistently achieves PVC purity rates exceeding 95%, which is suitable for most recycling applications and commands a premium price in the secondary materials market.
How does the machine handle the fiberglass backing?
The process effectively liberates and separates the fiberglass mat from the PVC layers. The fiberglass is collected as a distinct fraction, which can also be recycled or used for energy recovery in appropriate facilities.
What are the space requirements for installation?
A standard system requires a clear floor space of approximately 12 meters by 5 meters with adequate height clearance. We offer modular designs that can be adapted to more constrained layouts.
Do you offer test runs with our material?
Yes. We strongly recommend sending a sample of your specific vinyl flooring waste to our facility for a laboratory-scale test. This allows us to analyze the material and provide a detailed report on expected separation efficiency and output quality.
What kind of after-sales support is available?
Our comprehensive support package includes detailed installation supervision, on-site operator training, a standard warranty, and access to 24/7 remote technical support. We also maintain an inventory of critical wear parts for fast delivery.
