The Core of Modern Waste Management

An MSW sorting machine is an integrated system engineered to handle large volumes of urban waste. It automates the separation of diverse materials—like organics, plastics, metals, and glass—from the general waste stream. By reducing landfill dependency and facilitating resource recovery, these machines are essential for sustainable cities.

Key Components and Functions

Our systems are modular, combining state-of-the-art machines to create a seamless and efficient sorting process tailored to your needs.

Chain Plate Conveyor

Transports heavy, raw waste loads, setting the foundation for the entire sorting line.

Bag Breaker

Opens waste bags to expose their contents, ensuring effective sorting of all materials.

Trommel Screen

Separates materials by size through a large rotating drum, a critical first step in segregation.

Magnetic Separator

Extracts ferrous metals (iron, steel) from the waste stream for high-purity recycling.

Eddy Current Separator

Separates valuable non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper from other materials.

Vibrating Screen

Separates fine particles and organic matter by size through a vibrating mesh.

Ballistic Separator

Divides waste into 2D (flat), 3D (rolling), and fine fractions based on physical properties.

Air Separator (Windsifter)

Uses powerful airflow to separate light materials (paper, film) from heavier ones (plastics, wood).

Optical Sorter

Uses advanced sensors to automatically sort plastics and other materials by type and color.

Manual Sorting Cabin

Allows for quality control and manual sorting of materials requiring human oversight.

Waste Baler

Compacts sorted materials into dense bales for efficient storage and transportation.

Transforming Waste into Value

Investing in an MSW sorting system delivers significant environmental and economic returns.

Environmental Impact

Promotes higher recycling rates, dramatically decreases landfill volume, conserves natural resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with waste decomposition.

Economic Impact

Creates new revenue streams from the sale of recyclable commodities, supports the recycling industry, generates local employment, and reduces landfill tipping fees.

The Future of Waste Sorting

We are at the forefront of addressing industry challenges with next-generation technology.

Addressing Challenges

Our modular designs effectively handle varying waste compositions, while advanced sensor technology minimizes contamination in sorted streams, optimizing operational costs.

Embracing Future Trends

We are actively integrating AI and machine learning into our optical sorters for higher accuracy and adaptability, pushing the boundaries of automation in waste management.
