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.
Application segments
- Municipal MSW sorting plants (compliance with PNRS)
- Waste picker cooperatives
- 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

Technical Differentiators
- Rolled beam structure (not adapted container), sized for industrial loads and conveyor vibration
- Checkered plate flooring 4.7 mm
- Standard-compliant stairs with handrails and anti-slip treads (NBR 14718)
- NR12 guardrails along full length: 1.20 m height, 0.20 m toe board, intermediate rail
- Native integration with full Jaguar line (shredders, balers, separators, screens)
- Modular and expandable: new positions, cabins and exhaust without reconstruction
Recommended MSW Flow
- Reception — 20-40 m3 hopper for continuous operation
- Bag opener — automatic MSW bag opening
- Manual sorting (ETM-9000 or ETM-12000) — separation of recyclables, organics and reject
- Recyclables line — magnetic separator + baler for baling
- Organics line — mill + composting
- Reject line — shredder (RAPTOR or PR) for RDF
Financial Benefits
- Prior contaminant removal protects downstream shredders
- Sorting by type adds value to recyclables compared with mixed material
- Blade and component life up to 50% longer with prior abrasive removal
- RDF calorific value 15-25% higher with clean recyclable removal
Compliance
- NR12: guardrails, stairs, signage and protections
- NBR 14718: guardrail specifications
- PNRS (Law 12.305/2010): infrastructure for sorting and recovery
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the sorting station used for? The station performs primary separation of MSW, C&D waste and commercial/industrial waste: operators remove recyclables, organics and reject before the downstream stages of the line. It also protects downstream equipment: prior contaminant removal reduces shredder maintenance costs.
How do I define the number of sorting positions or the ideal model? The choice depends on material throughput (t/h), waste composition and the number of fractions the operation needs to separate. With this data, the Jaguar engineering team defines the model (ETM-6000, ETM-9000 or ETM-12000) and the station configuration.
Is the sorting station modular? Yes. The structure is modular and expandable: new sorting positions, cabins and exhaust can be added without reconstruction.
How does the station integrate with shredders and screens? Integration is native with the full Jaguar line. In a typical flow, the station feeds the Trommel screen for particle size classification and the PR pre-shredders on the reject line for RDF production.
