Organic fraction recycling line. Glass
The challenge
Due to the large amount of glass waste destined to landfill it is a necessity to optimize the treatments for their recovery.
In the treatment and recovery plant of Los Hornillos (Valencia), the glass represented after the organic fraction a very high percentage in the fraction of the sieves, being necessary its treatment to optimize its recovery.
The solution
To develop and implement a system capable of optimize the separation and recovery process of non-organic materials through the incorporation of an artificial vision system for the separation of glass, plastics and ferrous materials from all other materials.
Innovations / Improvements
•Higher percentage of material recovery.
•Reduction of material destined for landfill.
•Increased turnover by the management/sale of the recycled material fraction.
