Single-Stream Recycling

Single-Stream – Rumpke

Columbus, USA

Completed in 2024

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.

  • Single-Stream – Rumpke

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.

Single-Stream Recycling

Single-Stream

Coventry, UK

Completed in 2024

Material Recovery Facility – 50 TPH

The facility was designed to process 50 tons per hour (TPH) of various materials, including news and pams, mixed paper, cardboard, metals (ferrous and non-ferrous), plastics, glass, organic waste, residue, and more. The client sought a solution that would optimize material recovery and provide output materials suitable for UK markets.

The aim was to deliver a state-of-the-art facility that would remain efficient despite the change in recycling legislation and population behavior for the next 20 years, integrating advanced technologies and reducing reliance on manual labor.

Organics from Co-Collection

Québec, QC

Completed in 2022

Organic Material Recovery Center (OMRC) – 80 TPH

This system is a first in North America. For us, it presents a golden opportunity to showcase our local expertise and introduce an innovative approach to organic material treatment. In recent years, we have successfully tested our methods in waste treatment across Europe. “Bringing this new approach to Quebec is an exciting and stimulating challenge for us,” explains Jonathan Ménard, Vice President of Sales and Strategy at Machinex.

PureCycle Technologies: Plastic Pre-Processing

Denver, USA

Completed in 2024

Plastic Pre-Processing Center – Capacity of 40 to 80 Million Pounds

This fully automated facility was specifically designed for plastic pre-processing. It incorporates cutting-edge technologies, including optical sorters and robotic systems, to achieve a high purity level of polypropylene. This project aligns with PureCycle’s mission to create a sustainable circular economy for plastics.

  • PureCycle Technologies: Plastic Pre-Processing

This fully automated system processes polypropylene (PP) from MRFs and post-industrial PP plants without requiring manual sorters. Utilizing SamurAI® sorting robots and MACH Hyspec® optical sorters, it achieves over 90% purity, ensuring efficient and consistent plastic recycling.

Mixed Waste Processing / Waste to Fuel

Levenseat Renewable Energy LTD

Lanark, Scotland

Completed in 2017

RDF & SRF Preparation Plant From MSW and C&I – 42 TPH

To increase and assure the quality of RDF recovered from the stream of fines, which includes wet organic waste, a belt dryer technology is used. This continuous dryer is self-sustainable and uses a small fraction of the heat generated by the waste-to-energy plant located adjacent to the MRF.

  • Levenseat Renewable Energy LTD
  • Levenseat Renewable Energy LTD

This system will produce 100,000 TPA of RDF feedstock for the Levenseat Energy From Waste Plant. It also produces SRF from super light & high calorific non-recyclable waste commodities.
