Operating for the past few months, the new Waste Management material recovery facility can process up to 50,000 tonnes annually of recyclable material from the industrial, commercial and institutional sectors of the greater Montreal area and allows the recycling of cardboard, paper, plastic and metal. Machinex supplied Waste Management with a turnkey system including, among others, an OCC screen, disc separators for fine particles, a magnetic separator and a Machinex II-Ram baler.
ʺThe expertise developed by Machinex through its many projects around the world has enabled us to create a high-performance sorting system in Laval which directly aligns with our objectives of equipment efficiency and production quality. The team deployed by Machinex for the completion of this project was attentive to our needs and knew how to adapt to the high quality standards which is expected by Waste Management” said, Jean Beaudoin, Director of Quebec sorting facilities and transfer stations of Waste Management.
« We are very satisfied with the progress of this project and especially with the performance achieved by the turnkey system we provided. We have been able to count on an excellent collaboration with the client during all stages of the process and we wish to be able to work again with Waste Management to develop other high-performance systems » comments David Hébert, Project Director at Machinex.
