Material Recovery Facility – 60 TPH
The facility was designed to process 60 tons per hour (TPH) of residential material and 20 TPH of commercial and industrial material, including mixed paper, cardboard, metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), plastics, glass, and more. The client sought a solution that would optimize material recovery, implement the highest levels of automation, and provide output materials that fuel the circular economy in local and regional markets.
The facility integrates advanced AI technology and MACH Hyspec® optical sorters, which enhance quality control for plastics and metals, ensuring precision and efficiency in sorting processes. A key objective was to implement the highest level of automation, significantly reducing the reliance on manual labor while maximizing material recovery rates. Additionally, the system was designed with flexibility in mind, enabling it to adapt seamlessly to changing market conditions and evolving material streams, ensuring long-term efficiency and responsiveness to industry demands.
