Landfill Reclamation Sorting Line
A full landfill is not a problem without a solution, it is an untapped resource. The line recovers materials from old waste and gives you the space back.

Technical specifications
Sustainability impact
Equipment engineered for long-lasting operation and built from recyclable materials, in line with the principles of the circular economy.
Key features
It gives you the landfill space back
an almost full landfill can be extended by years by recovering materials from already deposited waste, instead of opening a new cell.
Five stages in one flow
screening, air separation, magnetic separation and optical sorting work in series, so old waste yields clean fractions rather than a mixture.
Enclosed system, odour controlled
old waste is aggressive in smell, and fully enclosing the flow plus treating the air makes operation acceptable near inhabited areas.
Product description
An almost full landfill looks like a problem with no way out. But waste deposited ten or twenty years ago is not just volume, it is material: metals that have not fully rusted, plastic that has not degraded, cover soil that can be reused. A landfill reclamation sorting line recovers…
An almost full landfill looks like a problem with no way out. But waste deposited ten or twenty years ago is not just volume, it is material: metals that have not fully rusted, plastic that has not degraded, cover soil that can be reused. A landfill reclamation sorting line recovers it and gives you the space back. The practice is known internationally as landfill mining or landfill reclamation, and the economic logic is twofold. You recover sellable materials and, more importantly, you extend the landfill's life by years instead of opening a new cell, which is far more expensive and…

Municipal waste
Municipal waste sorting plants, from the bag to recoverable material
Household waste arrives mixed and bagged. A sorting plant opens it, screens it into size fractions, separates the light material from the heavy one and extracts metals, plastic, paper and glass. We configure complete lines and also supply the individual machines, from the bag opener and trommel screen through to the magnetic and eddy current separators, the optical sorters and the balers.
