Organic Waste Treatment
At Machinex, we offer various turnkey treatment solutions that process raw organic material and produce a high-quality final product. Our equipment and knowledge enhance well-known organic processes such as anaerobic digestion, composting treatment, and fuel preparation from Organic Material.
Primary Solutions to Extract Organics From Waste?
It all starts with the collection method. This includes Source-separated Organics (SSO), Co-collection and Mixed Solid Waste (MSW).
Source Separated Organics (SSO)
SSO is Suitable for Residential, Commercial, and Unstitutional Settings.
Schools, restaurants, sports stadiums, and large events are just a few examples of commercial and institutional settings. These places generate more tonnage, making the stops more sustainable for the hauler and the environment.
Moreover, managing waste from perempted products and expired assorted grocery items through SSO can be a significant contribution to sustainability efforts. These items, often prevalent in groceries, can be effectively handled, reducing overall waste and enhancing the recycling process.
Co-Collection
Co-Collection is Best for Urban and Rural Residential Areas.
Bags of food waste, collected from garbage bins, are transported to a facility where they are separated from other materials using advanced technologies like our MACH Hyspec® – Optical Sorter or our SamurAI® – Sorting Robot.
These bags can then be processed through a range of systems to produce desired end products, such as compost or biopulp.
MSW
MSW is the Most Widespread Collection Method.
Due to the process of decomposition and waste management practices, organic materials tend to break down into smaller fractions. By extracting elements less than 2 inches in size from the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) stream, we can segregate the majority of the organic fraction and meet aggressive waste diversion targets.
The recovered Organic Materials can undergo additional treatment processes, making them excellent feedstock for Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facilities or for soil revitalization purposes.
Highlights & Benefits of Organics Treatment
- Turnkey Solutions Using Strategic Partners
- Dry and Wet Anaerobic Digestion Can be Offered
- Drying the Organics to Produce a Better Quality RDF
- Extracting the Valuables While Removing the Contaminants
As a Turnkey Provider, we can provide some of our own products and work with strategic partners to offer you a complete solution.
Technologies Used for Extracting Organics:
MACH Hyspec® – Optical Sorter
Using a High-speed Hyperspectral Detection System, the MACH Hyspec® can sort different types of material within a Single-stream Recycling System, such as Plastics (PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, PS, etc.), Metal, and Fiber products. Processing a high volume of material with great efficiency, this technology allows for a significant reduction in labor costs.
SamurAI™ – Sorting Robots
This adaptive Sorting Robot employs superior Artificial Intelligence technology to identify materials for accurate, positive product recovery or precise quality control within a single-stream recycling process. It is a great investment for MRF operators as they not only reduce the amount of labor that is needed but also helps to manage labor safety and HR costs.
Trommel
MACH Trommels are a key component of modern recycling facilities around the world. Dependable and effective, this machine designed by Machinex can sort various types of materials for all sorting streams (Single-Stream, Municipal Solid Waste, Construction & Demolition, etc.).
Positioned strategically within a system, it separates material flow to the desired fraction size. The effective inside diameter and screen plate opening size will vary according to customers’ needs and applications. Depending on the application, it may also be provided with knives inside to open the plastic bags.
Retrofits Are Possible in Almost Every Type of System
They are conducted to enhance the purity of the end material but often require detailed engineering to integrate the new equipment into an existing system. Machinex has the experience and expertise that is critical to delivering a Successful Retrofit.
