The main common disposal methods for municipal waste are landfill, composting and incineration, but all must be shredded and refined before disposal. Zch offers a full range of MSW disposal systems to help improve treatment efficiency and recycling rates through pre-shredding, magnetic separation, screening and fine shredding processes to reduce the volume of MSW and sort them.
As a company focused on waste management and recycling, Zch has a wide range of businesses aimed at promoting sustainable development and environmental protection. The following are the areas of mixed waste sorting equipment business covered by Zch。
Example process description for an automated sorting plant for municipal solid waste with manual re-sorting:
After infeed dosing, the material is separated into different grain sizes according to shape (flat [2D], rolling [3D], screening) by various screening processes via our trommel screen and ballistic separator machinery. In order to achieve the maximum possible sorting purity, large-area films are separated from the material flows with the aid of windshifters. This significantly improves subsequent sorting using near infrared technology (NIR). In combination with the subsequent magnetic and eddy current process, the desired high output qualities are achieved. Following manual quality controlling, the material is finally separated into fractions, collected in hopper belts and pressed to reduce volume for storage and transport.
At Zch we believe that every piece of waste is an opportunity waiting to be unlocked. Our mission is simple yet profound: to harness the power of technology to sort, recycle, and repurpose waste materials efficiently and sustainably. At the forefront of our operations stands the marvel of modern engineering – Solid Waste Sorting Plant, a sophisticated system designed to streamline the sorting process, making it faster, more accurate, and environmentally friendly.
Delivering the high throughput and recovery rates demanded by today’s waste industry requires innovation, experience, and engineering excellence. Our patented MSW sorting process separates us from the competition as clearly as it separates commodities from the waste stream. This innovation will take your business to a whole new level of profitability
Our machines are especially designed for the needs of paper mills, corrugated cardboard factories, paper converting factories, hypermarkets, large and small recovery, landfills, reference stations, manufacturing plants, RDF systems, biostabilisation etc.
Key equipment in waste sorting lines:
Bag openers are specialized pieces of machinery designed to efficiently open and empty bags containing mixed waste materials. These devices automate the process of opening sealed bags, which is common in municipal solid waste (MSW) and commercial waste streams. Bag openers use sharp blades or teeth to cut open bags, ensuring that the contents are fully exposed for subsequent sorting processes. This step is crucial because it allows optical sorters and other sorting equipment to access and process the contents uniformly, enhancing the overall efficiency of the sorting line.
2. Drum Screens (Roller /trommel Screens)
Drum screens, also known as roller screens, are cylindrical-shaped sieves that play a critical role in the initial stages of waste sorting. They are designed to separate waste into different sizes, typically allowing smaller particles to pass through while retaining larger objects. The rotating action of the drum helps to agitate the waste, improving the separation efficiency.
which transports waste from one point to another within the facility. These belts can be equipped with sensors and cameras that help identify different types of waste, ensuring that the material reaches the correct sorting station.
4.Optical Sorters
Optical sorters use high-resolution cameras and sophisticated software to distinguish between various types of waste based on color, shape, size, and even chemical composition. Once identified, the waste is sorted into categories such as plastics, paper, metals, and organic waste.
5. Near-Infrared (NIR) Technology
Near-infrared technology is particularly useful for sorting materials like plastics and paper. NIR scanners emit light that is absorbed differently by various materials. By analyzing the reflected light, the system can accurately determine the type of plastic or paper and direct it to the appropriate bin.
6. Magnetic Separators
Magnetic separators are essential for removing ferrous metals from the waste stream. These devices use powerful magnets to attract and collect metallic items, which are then separated from other materials.
7. Eddy Current Separators
For non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper, eddy current separators are employed. These machines create a magnetic field that repels non-iron-based metals, effectively separating them from the rest of the waste.
Air drum seperator use air currents to separate lightweight materials from heavier ones. This method is commonly used to sort paper and plastic films from heavier items like glass bottles and cans.
9. Robotic Sorters
Robotic sorters have been gaining popularity due to their precision and speed. Equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), these robots can learn and adapt to new sorting criteria, making them highly efficient at sorting complex mixtures of waste.
10. Composting Systems
For organic waste, composting systems are utilized to transform biodegradable materials into nutrient-rich compost. These systems can range from simple outdoor piles to more complex aerated static pile systems or in-vessel composting units.
11. Baling Presses
After sorting, baling presses are used to compress recyclable materials into compact bales. This process not only saves space but also makes transportation more economical.
