Tomra Sorting lands three projects

Tomra Sorting, based in Norway, has been selected by the waste engineering firm McDonald International to provide its TITECH technology at projects in England, Ireland and Wales. Tomra says its TITECH technology will help increase the value and purity of paper and plastics processed at the three recycling facilities.
 

• TITECH’s autosort 4 unit has been installed as part of an upgrade to Barna Recycling’s 18-tons-per-hour mixed dry recycling (MDR) plant in Galway, Ireland. The unit will be used to clean and increase the value of the paper fraction. Barna adds that it is considering adding another unit to enhance the plant’s plastics sorting capabilities.
• The plastics recycling company Roydon Group, which produces PET flakes at its 5 tons-per-hour plastics recycling facility in Caerphilly, Wales, has installed a TITECH autosort 4 unit as part of an upgrade to enable the company to purify the PET it processes before granulation.
• As part of an upgrade project, a TITECH autosort 4 unit was installed at Polypipe’s recycling plant in Horncastle, U.K. The unit will enable Polypipe to increase the purity of the PE fraction, which is used to manufacture a number of products in Polypipe’s range.

Luke Coyle, sales and marketing manager at McDonald International Ltd, says, “We wanted to offer our customers the very latest in sensor-based sorting solutions to help them address their specific sorting challenges and maximize their plants’ performance. Having worked closely with the team at Tomra Sorting over the years, and having seen at first-hand what the TITECH technology is capable of achieving, we had no hesitation in recommending them as our partners for these projects.”

Stephen Almond, sales engineer at Tomra Sorting, says, “We’re delighted to have secured these new contracts with McDonalds International. We have a long-standing, successful relationship with McDonalds and our Titech solutions have been installed across a number of their projects throughout the U.K. These latest contracts demonstrate the benefits that sensor-based sorting can offer across a range of applications, from significantly reducing labor costs, to increasing the value of paper and increasing the purity of PE and PET.”
