In this plant, mixed industrial waste is sorted according to recyclable materials with a high degree of automation. Valuable substance fractions: FE, NE, PE, PET, PP, films, paper, cardboard, wood, minerals,
refuse-derived fuels.

Plant description
Industrial waste usually contains a very high
proportion of recyclable materials such as PE,
PP, PET, wood, paper, films, NE and FE, which are separated by mechanical sorting. Polymers, paper or films are subsequently inspected at manual sorting stations for quality optimisation. It is therefore possible to easily market the individual fractions. From the remaining residue, refuse-drives fuels are poitively extracted from the material flow via near infra-red technology to bie marketed separately
The design of this plant enables the plant operator to react quickly and flexibly to possible changes in the market. It is capable at all times of processing other input materials, such as lightweight packaging materials or mixed building site waste. The quantity of refuse-derived fuel production can be adapted to the requirements of the operator at all times. The plastic fractions produced by means of near infra-red equipment can be varied.
From an economic point of view and from the point of view of the recyclability of the products, we currently recommend an industrial waste sorting plant which recovers rcyclable products as the first priority + RDF as the second priority.
Design arguments
Since 01 June 2005 in Germany no more refuse may be stored at landfills untreated. The result of this is that large quantities of industrial waste must undergo waste treatment.
There are two different processing methods for this:
recovery of recyclable materials recovery of refuse-derived fuels
In this plant, mixed industrial waste is sorted according to recyclable materials with a high
degree of automation.
In our opinion this is forward-looking, as the recovery of recyclable materials is the more economic processing method, and the markets for recyclable materials are growing.
