We have multiple glass cleanup models to suit your unique system. Proven results reaching less than 5% non-glass residue (fiber, plastics, corks, caps, organics and metals).
We will help you determine the right glass solution for you—customized for any size system, from a 10-15 ton/hr sorting system up to a 50+ tph MegaMRF. Clean and process single stream glass at a rate of 2 tph up to 15 tph for a single unit. Any system can separate mixed broken glass into four fractions.
OVERSIZED:
(anything that fell through the glass breaker screen that is larger than 2 inches in size): organics, food waste, silverware, steel can lids, flattened aluminum or plastics. This material can be examined for further sorting/recovery.FINES:
(anything smaller than 3/8 inch in size): glass fines that may qualify for road base or pipe bedding use.LIGHTS:
a high percentage of shredded paper that (with glass fines removed) could be blended in with other fibers (such as OCC) and made into sellable mixed paper.HEAVIES (The Glass):
clean, sellable glass material that meets the industry’s specification of extremely low percentage of non-glass residue and extremely low percentage of undersized material.
