REDWAVE Competences and Technologies
Input material: Material from kerbside collection, Bottle bank & MRF glass material.
Preparation:
- Crushing: Double roll crusher,
- Drying: Fluidized bed dryer, Rotary drum dryer,
- Screening: Vibrating screens, Flipflop screens, Fine Screens
- Metals separation: Cross belt magnets, Drum magnets, Eddy current separators
- Organics separation: Airknife separators, Zig-zag separators, Suction plants
Sorting step 1: Removal of lead glass and glass ceramics (REDWAVE XRF-G), Removal of plastics and paper (REDWAVE NIR-G)
Sorting step 2, 3, 4: Removal of ceramics and metals as well as color sorting and color clean-up:
2-way (single eject) and 3-way (dual eject) sorters
Quality control: Process monitoring and control system (REDWAVE PMCS), Sample taking and analyzing system (REDWAVE SAS)
Final product: Remelting in container glass manufacturing and other use (construction industry, aggregates,...)
