Plant to Remove Recyclable Material from Waste to Energy Fuel : Machinex Brings 50 TPH Recycling Facility Online in Utah
Canadian recycling equipment manufacturer, Machinex, has completed the installation of a 50 tonne per hour material recycling facility (MRF) for Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District, located in Layton, Utah.
The company said that the mixed waste processing facility is intended to separate a large amount of the wet organic fraction, which ultimately results in a weight reduction of up to 50% and better calorific value for the adjacent waste to energy facility.
Wasatch was said to have selected Machinex after considering a bid response, and taking into account the experience from a similar installation in Minnesota.
The first phase of Wasatch’s long term goal includes a presort for various materials and a trommel featuring knifes helping the bag opening process and removal of the 2 inch (50mm) and under fraction.
Machinex also noted that in May it commissioned a 10 TPH retrofit of a Single-Stream and Commercial Waste sorting facility for Seadrunar in Seattle, Washington.
The upgrade is said to allow for an increase of the facility’s in-feed capacity, recovery rate, and purity of fines.
All of the changes were said to have been achieved by the creative solution of adding a trommel with knives that help the bag opening process, a MACH Fines Screen, a MACH Ballistic Separator, and a Light fraction Separator.
Mid America Recycling’s 10 TPH Residential Single-Stream Waste sorting facility, located in Lincoln, Nebraska, was commissioned in May. Machinex was pleased to deliver a system featuring a MACH Ballistic Separator to function as the primary sorter of fibers and containers.
