As tonnage increases, materials change and sorting equipment improves, new technologies and their integration can help increase the productivity of a materials recovery facility (MRF). When designing a retrofit in a MRF, efficiency in design is necessary to achieve high-quality output while taking the existing building and equipment as well as health and safety considerations into account. Join us to gain insight into what metrics are used to evaluate MRF systems for retrofit opportunities, how to work with vendors for seamless design and installation, how to plan for downtime while still maintaining crucial operations, how to get the most out of automated equipment and more.
