CP Group reveals Virtual MRF at WasteExpo

CP Group, a recycling solutions provider and equipment manufacturer based in San Diego, unveiled its Virtual MRF (material recovery facility) May 9, 2017, at WasteExpo in New Orleans.

The Virtual MRF is a virtual reality simulation that uses two hand-held controls and a virtual reality headset. The simulation allows users to explore every inch of a life-size computer-generated model of a MRF in real time, the company says.

“This is unlike anything that has been done before in our industry,” says Ashley Davis, director of sales and marketing for CP Group. “Our Virtual MRF uses the most cutting-edge tech to provide our customers with a very concrete sense of what their facility will be like before anything is actually built. This technology has a lot of potential, not only for our sales force, but [also] for our engineers, and we’re proud to be the first to bring it into the recycling equipment manufacturing industry.”

CP Group offered Virtual MRF demonstrations at its booth, No. 3647, throughout WasteExpo’s exhibit hall hours May 9-11.
