Andela Products sells glass pulverizer system to St. Barts

In July of 2017 St. Barts in the French Caribbean followed the example of several nearby islands and installed an Andela glass pulverizer to transform glass bottles into reusable aggregate, according to Andela Products, based in Richfield Springs, New York.

The company adds that Cumberland County, Tennessee; Dare County, North Carolina; Horry County, South Carolina; and Stutzman Refuse, South Hutchinson, Kansas, are among its North American customers that have developed glass recycling programs using the Andela pulverizer system.

The company supplies turnkey system packages with capacities ranging from 1 to 20 tons per hour. Each package includes Andela’s metering surge hopper, glass pulverizer, screening trommel, control panel and the necessary conveyors.

The Andela glass pulverizer system allows for the selective reduction of glass using patented flexible impactor technology, according to the company. This generates a sand or gravel glass product that can be handled safely, while any nonglass (paper labels, metal caps, corks, etc.) remain intact for further processing.
