MAJOR MRF UPGRADE REALISED BY MACHINEX AT RÉCUPÉRATION MAURICIE

November 13^th, 2017 – Plessisville, QC – Machinex proceeded to a major modernization last month at the Récupération Mauricie sorting facility, located near Trois-Rivières, Province of Quebec, in order to increase the system’s efficiency and the quality of the sorted material.

Through this important modernization, Machinex installed state-of-the-art equipment in the existing system. A ballistic separator allows to separates the packaging from the mixed paper. Two optical sorting units have been installed as well, one of these sorting the contaminants out of the mixed paper while the other separates plastics in three categories: PET, HDPE and mixed. The OCC separator has been replaced by a new generation model which reduces the wrapping of the plastics around the components. Most of the glass fragments are removed at the beginning of the sorting line, thanks to the addition of a glass separator, while an Eddy current separator build by Machinex removes the can of aluminum.
