The PS312M features a hybrid dual-power system — run from the onboard diesel engine (Stage 5 emissions option available) or connect to mains electricity for maximum efficiency and lower running costs. This flexibility allows operators to choose the most cost-effective power source for each site and contract, reducing both fuel costs and carbon footprint. The hydraulic power pack and touch-screen HMI manage power switching seamlessly.

Ease of use is a core design priority. The enclosed 3-bay metal picking cabin provides a safe, weatherproof working environment with 6 clearly positioned drop chutes for sorted fractions. The VSD picking belt allows supervisors to adjust material presentation speed to match team capacity in real time. The Touch Screen HMI gives intuitive control over all hydraulic and power functions — operators typically require minimal training. The entire machine can be repositioned using a radio-controlled handset.

Also 2 x PS312M’s can be used inline.

The PS312M’s integrated air separator features hydraulic in/out adjustment and variable speed drive (VSD), enabling precise pre-separation of light 2D fractions — films, paper, cardboard — from heavier 3D materials before they reach the picking belt. This significantly reduces the contamination burden on operatives, improves purity of recovered fractions (and therefore their commodity value), and lets pickers focus on higher-value sorting decisions. The result: more tons sorted, better quality output, per operative per hour.

The PS312M is proven across a wide range of waste streams:

. The integrated air separator, 1200mm VSD picking belt, overband magnet, and 6 drop chutes allow operatives to recover metals, timber, plastics, paper/card and aggregate fractions in a single pass — maximising the value of every tonne processed.

ROI drivers are compelling on multiple fronts: lower installation costs (no groundworks, no crane, no extended planning process), faster revenue generation (operational within hours of delivery), reduced gate-fee exposure (higher recovery rates mean less material to landfill), lower energy costs (mains-powered operation), and site relocation flexibility (the asset follows your contracts). Customer feedback consistently reports payback periods significantly shorter than equivalent static infrastructure, often within the first year of operation.

The PS312M is designed from the ground up for straightforward on-site maintenance — all major service points are accessible without specialist lifting equipment, reducing planned maintenance time and cost. M&K backs every machine with comprehensive technical support : a dedicated UK-based engineering team, remote diagnostics capability, fast-response spare parts supply, and operator training programmes. Customers can reach M&K directly via phone or WhatsApp on +447786561002 for rapid engineering assistance — because downtime is never an acceptable option.

Yes. The PS312M is engineered for seamless integration with both M&K equipment and third-party machinery. Standardised infeed and discharge conveyors make it straightforward to position within existing processing lines — upstream of a trommel screen, or screen.  It works particularly well alongside the M&K RS514T Track Recycling Screen, TS620T-HD Track Trommel, and AS150M Mobile Air Density Separator. M&K’s engineering team can advise on optimal system configuration for your specific application and throughput targets.
