The Olympus has been designed to combine sought-after features of ballistic and disc screen separators while reducing high maintenance demands and resolving slow throughput issues.

The machine is equipped with conveyor belts traveling 600 feet per minute (fpm), integrated to ballistic paddles. Sparta says this allows the unit to quickly and efficiently separate 2D materials and operate at a steeper angle, accelerating 3D fraction recovery.

The separator includes:
