CP installs 25 tph MRF for ReCommunity
Single stream facility to process 90,000 tons in 2013
The CP Group has designed, manufactured and installed a new single stream recycling facility in Beacon, NY.
The facility, built for ReCommunity (www.recommunity.com), began running April 23rd, and is processing 25 tph. The MRF is estimated to process 57,000 tons this year, 90,000 in 2013 and serves residents and businesses in a 56,000 square-foot plant that processes mixed fibre, OCC, plastic, glass, aluminum and steel.
Included in the Beacon, NY facility is the CP Group’s IPS Conquest 200S, a high-production multi-material processing baler with patented dual hinge-sides and hydraulically-actuated wire tying capability that produces a one-ton paper bale every 60 seconds.
The facility also includes several CP Disc Screens for automatic separation: a CP Scalping Screen that separates glass, small debris, and single serve containers from fibre; an OCCScreen which automatically separates cardboard from other fibres; a CP GlassBreaker Screen and Glass Cleanup System to break, separate and clean glass; two NEWScreens which effectively remove newspaper from mixed paper, containers, dirt and debris; and a CPScreen, which automatically separates containers from mixed paper by means of patented disc screen technology.
Additionally, Beacon’s system includes a CP Group optical sorter, the MSS Aladdin, which sorts plastics by colour as well as resin type, generating three output products from one input stream. Film Vac systems and an Air Drum Separator at the facility were supplied by CP Group partners Impact Air and Ken Mills Engineering.
The CP Group is a team of manufacturers that design and supply processing systems for municipal solid waste, single stream recycling, front-end waste to energy systems, construction and demolition, commercial and industrial, green and e-waste. The team, under common ownership, consists of CP Manufacturing, Krause Manufacturing, IPS Balers, MSS Optical Sorters, and Advanced MRF.
