Plants for the treatment of special waste assimilable to the municipal ones

ITR – Recycling Systems designs and manufactures treatment plants for waste similar to municipal solid waste (MSW), intended for companies operating in environmental services and in the recovery of recyclable materials and ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

ITR’s urban waste treatment plants provide, according to specific needs, accurate automatic or semi-automatic sorting of recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, wood, plastic packaging materials, textiles, and metals. This is done following mechanical cleaning of the material, with the aim of achieving the highest possible recovery rates of recyclable fractions.

The non-recyclable residual fractions at the end of the line are instead subjected to mechanical refinement treatment for the production of solid recovered fuel (SRF), in order to minimize the amount of material sent to landfill. The result is a material with a granule size suitable for use in plants authorized for this type of fuel, such as cement factories, thermoelectric power plants, and waste-to-energy plants.

The plants and technologies used by ITR in municipal waste sorting systems are designed to separate and recover recyclable fractions, with the ultimate goal of introducing high-quality secondary raw materials back into the market. Material separation and sorting is carried out using automatic, semi-automatic, or manual systems, depending on operational needs, and is aimed at maximizing economic return through valorization.

ITR’s MSW treatment plants integrate a wide range of technologies, including:

• TSO bag openers,

• Shredders,

• Fixed HMS or mobile HMM hammer mills for dosing and shredding,

• Screening systems,

• Mechanical, densimetric, aeraulic, eddy current, and optical sorting technologies,
  allowing for the efficient separation of inert fractions (plastic, nylon, textiles, glass, wood) and every recyclable component.

All ITR – Recycling Technologies plants are equipped with independent control systems for easy integration into existing process lines and a software management system that allows continuous monitoring and remote calibration of the entire facility.

Additionally, ITR plants include efficient dust and odor suppression systems, which operate during processing to protect the environment, ensure the health and safety of workers, and preserve the quality of the recycled fractions reintroduced into production cycles.

ITR – Recycling Systems’ municipal waste recovery plants stand out in the market for their high efficiency, low operating and maintenance costs, ease of management, and seamless integration into Industry 4.0 systems.
