Separate Gypsum from Drywall Paper and Recover Reusable Material
Scott Equipment’s Gypstream gypsum recycling system processes waste drywall, separating gypsum from the paper backing to produce clean, consistent gypsum for reuse. Designed for drywall manufacturers, recyclers, construction and demolition processors, and waste management facilities. Gypstream systems can process up to 16 tons per hour while achieving over 99% separation.

What is a Gypsum Recycling System?
A gypsum recycling system processes waste drywall, wallboard, or plasterboard to recover the gypsum contained inside. The GypStream uses mechanical energy and centrifugal force to separate gypsum from the paper backing, producing clean gypsum that can be reused instead of being sent to landfill.
GYPSTREAM - GYPSUM RECYCLING SYSTEM
What Goes In
Waste Drywall/Gypsum Wallboard
Drywall & Wallboard
Approximately 6"minus
Dry material preferred
Free moisture below 18% (for best performance)
What Comes Out
Clean Recovered Gypsum
Over 99% separation
Less than 1% paper by weight
Consistent particle size
Ready for downstream reuse
Separated Paper
Clean paper for recycling or other uses
WHY RECYCLE DRYWALL?
Gypsum is the primary mineral used in drywall, wallboard, plasterboard, and sheetrock. Instead of disposing of drywall waste, you can recover gypsum and reuse it in new products and other applications.
Reduce drywall sent to landfill
Recover reusable gypsum
Separate gypsum from paper backing
Create more consistent recycled material
Support circular manufacturing
Develop new outlets for construction waste

How the GypStream Works
Complete Systems.
Built Around Your Operation.
Gypstream can be integrated into a complete drywall recycling system, with the right equipment and layout to match your material, facility, and production goals.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS INCLUDE:
Twin screw infeed
Conveyors
Work Platforms
Integrated Controls
Dust Collection
Magnets
PREPARE DRYWALL
Waste drywall is reduced to approximately 6″ minus before entering the system.
FEED THE SYSTEM
Prepared drywall is continuously fed into the Gypstream.
SEPARATE GYPSUM & PAPER
Mechanical energy separates gypsum from the paper backing using screens and centrifugal force.
RECOVER CLEAN GYPSUM
Centrifugal force moves the gypsum through the screens while the separated paper exits the system.
A Complete System Built Around your Operation
GypStream can be integrated into a complete gypsum recycling system based on your material, throughput, facility layout, and processing requirements. We configure each system to match your goals and provide the equipment and support you need to operate reliably.
Twin Screw Infeed
Provides controlled, consistent material feeding into the GypStream.
Conveyors
Move incoming drywall and separated materials through the process.
Work Platforms
Provide access to equipment for safe operation and maintenance.
Dust Collection
Helps control airborne dust throughout the gypsum recycling process.
Magnets
Help remove ferrous metal contaminants from the material stream
Integrated Controls
Coordinate equipment operation from a central control system.
REAL WORLD APPLICATIONS
Where Recycled Gypsum Can Be Used
Recovered gypsum can be a valuable raw material for a variety of uses, including:
DRYWALL MANUFACTURING
Return to wallboard production as a recycled raw material
CEMENT PRODUCTION
Used in various cement manufacturing applications
AGRICULTURE
May be used in soil and agricultureal applications
COMPOST
Recovered gypsum can be incorporated into compost as a mineral amendment.
LAWN AND GARDEN
Adds calcium and sulfur to support healthy soils.
REMEDIATION
Supports soil improvement and land restoration applications
RECOVERED PAPER
Recovered paper can be reused in composting, bedding, and fiber applications
GYPSUM RECYCLING FAQs
What is a gypsum recycling system?
A gypsum recycling system processes waste drywall or wallboard to separate the gypsum from the paper backing, creating recovered materials for potential reuse.
How does the GypStream separate gypsum from drywall?
The GypStream uses mechanical energy and centrifugal force to separate gypsum from the paper backing and produce a consistent recovered gypsum material.
How much drywall can the GypStream process?
The GypStream is available in two sizes, with processing capacities up to 8 tons per hour for the G-30 and up to 16 tons per hour for the G-42.
How clean is the recovered gypsum?
The GypStream can achieve over 99% separation, producing recovered gypsum with less than 1% paper by weight under appropriate operating conditions.
What can recovered gypsum be used for?
Depending on material quality and end-user requirements, recovered gypsum may be used in drywall manufacturing, cement production, agriculture, composting, lawn and garden products, and remediation applications.
Can Scott Equipment test my drywall material?
Yes. Material can be evaluated in the Scott Equipment Test Lab to help determine separation performance and the appropriate equipment configuration.
