Advanced MSW Sorting Plant & Recycling Systems
Turn municipal solid waste from a costly liability into a valuable asset. Our fully automated sorting plants recover high-purity recyclables and produce alternative fuels, diverting up to 90% of waste from landfills.
Design Your Custom PlantA Smarter Approach to Waste Management
Maximize Resource Recovery
Automatically extract valuable commodities like plastics, metals, paper, and glass with over 95% sorting accuracy.
Create New Revenue Streams
Generate significant income by selling recovered materials and producing high-calorific Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF).
Drastically Reduce Landfill
Achieve ambitious environmental goals by diverting massive volumes of waste, extending landfill life and reducing pollution.
From Urban Waste Crisis to Sustainable Opportunity
The High Cost of Unsorted Waste
- Valuable, recyclable materials are lost forever in overflowing landfills.
- Rising landfill taxes and transportation costs strain municipal and private budgets.
- Environmental pollution and public pressure demand more sustainable solutions.
The Automated Sorting Solution
- Our system unlocks the hidden value in MSW by segregating it into profitable commodities.
- Turn a major expense into multiple revenue streams from recyclables and alternative fuels.
- Provide a modern, eco-friendly solution that meets regulatory targets and public expectations.
The Automated Sorting Process
1. Infeed & Pre-Sorting
Raw MSW is loaded, and large items and bags are opened to prepare for automated separation.
2. Size & Density Separation
Trommel screens separate organics by size, while ballistic and air separators segregate materials by density and shape.
3. Material Recovery
Magnetic and eddy current separators recover ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Optical sorters purify plastics.
4. Final Processing
Recovered materials are baled for sale, organics are sent for composting, and the rest is processed into RDF.
Landfilling vs. Automated Sorting
| Outcome | Traditional Landfilling | Our MSW Sorting Plant |
|---|---|---|
| Resource Value | 100% Lost | Value Maximized |
| Financial Model | Pure Cost Center | Profit Center |
| Environmental Impact | High Pollution & Land Use | Circular Economy |
| Sustainability | Unsustainable | Long-Term Solution |
