A 50 TPH Mixed Processing facility was completed in March for Wasatch Integrated Management District, located in Layton, Utah. Wasatch selected Machinex after considering the bid response and the experience from a similar installation in Minnesota. The goal was to achieve separation of a large amount of the wet organic fraction which ultimately resulted in a weight reduction of up to 50% and better calorific value for the adjacent to Energy facility. 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” minus fraction.
In May, Machinex started up a 10 TPH retrofit of a Single-Stream and Commercial processing facility for Seadrunar in Seattle, Washington. The upgrade allows for an increase of the facility’s in-feed capacity, recovery rate, and purity of fines. All of the changes were 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 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.
