Equipment

Solid Waste Sorting Station

Industrial sorting station for recycling. 3 models from 6 to 14 positions. Up to 60 t/h. Modular structure per NR12.

Solid Waste Sorting Station

Modular platform for primary separation of MSW, C&D waste and commercial/industrial waste. Structure in rolled carbon steel beams, anti-slip checkered plate flooring, NR12 guardrails. Integrates with shredders, balers, magnetic separators and screens.

Applications

  • Municipal MSW sorting plants (compliance with PNRS)
  • Waste picker cooperatives (productivity up to 3x higher than ground-level sorting)
  • C&D waste sorting centers before concrete and masonry crushing
  • RDF plants: recyclable separation before reject shredding
  • Commercial and industrial (C&I) waste sorting
  • Pre-sorting before shredders: removal of metals, stones and large objects

SpecificationValue
Useful length12,000 mm
Sorting positions14
OperatorsUp to 20 (10 per side)
Belt width1,400 mm
Capacity30-60 t/h
ComplianceNR12, ISO 14001

Features: central exhaust, industrial LED lighting, particulate capture, pre-installation for future optical sorting (NIR, RGB). Centralized electrical panel with interlocking.

Integrates with Trommel screen, ballistic separator, densimetric separator and baler line.


Technical Differentiators

  1. Rolled beam structure (not adapted container) — sized for industrial loads and conveyor vibration
  2. Checkered plate flooring 4.7 mm, minimum 200 mm thickness for rigidity and vibration absorption
  3. Standard-compliant stairs with handrails and anti-slip treads (NBR 14718)
  4. NR12 guardrails along full length: 1.20 m height, 0.20 m toe board, intermediate rail
  5. Native integration with full Jaguar line (shredders, balers, separators, screens)
  6. Modular and expandable: new positions, cabins and exhaust without reconstruction

  1. Reception — 20-40 m3 hopper for continuous operation
  2. Bag opener — automatic MSW bag opening
  3. Manual sorting (ETM-9000 or ETM-12000) — separation of recyclables, organics and reject
  4. Recyclables line — magnetic separator + baler for baling
  5. Organics line — mill + composting
  6. Reject line — shredder (RAPTOR or PR) for RDF

Financial Benefits

  • Up to 40% reduction in shredder maintenance costs (prior contaminant removal)
  • Recyclable value 30-50% higher with type separation vs. mixed material
  • Blade and component life up to 50% longer with prior abrasive removal
  • RDF calorific value 15-25% higher with clean recyclable removal
  • CAPEX 50-70% lower than 100% automated plants, payback in 18-36 months

Compliance

  • NR12: guardrails, stairs, signage and protections
  • NBR 14718: guardrail specifications
  • PNRS (Law 12.305/2010): infrastructure for sorting and recovery
  • ISO 14001: structure prepared for environmental certification
