Brand: Urstag
SKU: URS-076

Question 1

What stages does a glass waste sorting plant include?

Accepted Answer

It includes pre-sorting of coarse impurities, metal sorting (magnetic + eddy current), optical color sorting and the removal of ceramics and impurities. All these stages are integrated into a flow coordinated by a unified control system, producing maximum-quality cullet from mixed glass waste.

Question 2

Why a complete flow instead of a single machine?

Accepted Answer

Glass waste contains metals, ceramics, light materials and mixed colors, all of which must be separated. A single machine cannot handle all these separations. A glass waste sorting plant integrates all the necessary stages, producing maximum-quality cullet impossible to obtain with a single sorting machine.

Question 3

How are ceramics removed from the cullet?

Accepted Answer

Ceramics, porcelain and stones have a different melting point from glass and cause defects on remelting. The optical sorting in a glass waste sorting plant detects these impurities (which differ optically from glass) and ejects them with precision, producing cullet free of ceramic contaminants, essential for glassworks.

Question 4

Is the delivered equipment new?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver new, unused equipment, built to order, not reconditioned units. The build uses components from established suppliers, CE marked where applicable, and every plant undergoes a full inspection before shipment. You receive the technical documentation and operating manuals in your language.

Question 5

What makes URSTAG a premium brand?

Accepted Answer

European design, top-tier components and experience. Every machine is designed by our engineering teams in Europe and built from components by industry leaders such as Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, WEG, SEW-Eurodrive, NORD Drivesystems and Bonfiglioli. The result is reliable, energy-efficient and durable equipment, backed by over 15 years of experience and by delivery, installation, training and service included.

Question 6

How long do installation and commissioning take?

Accepted Answer

Transport, commissioning and operator training are included and carried out by a local team, in your language. Before shipment, the plant undergoes a full inspection and calibration, so your unit becomes operational quickly, with no hidden installation costs.

Question 7

Can it be configured for specific types of glass waste?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A glass waste sorting plant is configured according to the type of waste processed and the cullet requirements. The stages and parameters adapt to your specifics, whether you process collected packaging, flat glass or industrial glass waste, to produce cullet of the desired quality.
