TITECH's
Near Infrared autosort system 24 January 2012
A new Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Material Recycling Facility (MRF) in the Exeter, UK has selected sensor based sorting equipment specialist, TITECH as its technology provider of choice.
According to TITECH, plant builder, McDonald International will install three of its autosort optical sorting systems at local C&I waste company, Devon Contract Waste's 75,000 tonne per year facility.
The sorting specialist claimed that its NIR (near infrared) dual sensor autosort system allows maximum value to be extracted from the C&I waste stream, diverting it from landfill and increasing recovery of materials for re-sale.
The company said that it has installed similar solutions at locations in Northern Ireland and Europe, and that it hopes to repeat the success of these MRFs at the £4.2 million Exeter plant, which will have capacity to process 14 tonnes of C&I input material will be shredded per hour.
"The technology will enable us to maximise the recovery of materials for re-sale, ultimately contributing to company growth," commented Simon Almond, managing director at Devon Contract Waste.
Luke Coyle, sales & marketing manager at McDonald International Ltd, added: "The processing of commercial type waste is a massive growth area within the UK and this project will serve as a great reference site for several other plants being considered."
The company said that the plant is due to become operational in April 2012 and will process an estimated 75,000 tonnes per annum of C&I waste, including metals, rigid plastics, wood, plastic film, paper and card.
