Recycling issue for the construction wastes is gradually important to future society. Recently, a star screen has been developed to use for this purpose, however some modifications were needed to enhance the separation accuracy. The objective of study is to evaluate and predict separation ability by verifying the effect for the modified shapes of the screen part. Two analysis models of the screen part were established using commercial software ADAMS to simulate the dynamic interaction of waste particles. Results showed that spacer and gear shapes directly affected separation ability. The modified spacer shapes were much higher screening rate with comparison to default shape. Screening ability for the half number of gear type was greater than other types. Therefore, modification of the design of screen part will be required to achieve better separation ability.

In this study, a star screen model was constructed to predict the dynamic characteristics of interactive waste particles and to simulate separation capability of the particle using geared type screen(star screen). In order to approach this model, it is necessary to determine the design parameters of the screen such as driving torque, percentage of open space, and capability. Thus, a dynamic star screen model was developed with a total of 32 columns of geared assembly including screen part, wastes guide, and extra joints to rotate the screen using ADAMS. Each parameter was simulated to predict the screening capability for particle size, rotating speed, and particle condition. From the results, separation ability was predicted according to the affecting variables by using the dynamic star screen model.
