Abstract

Municipal solid wastes (MSW) contains recyclable fractions such as plastics, mixed paper, cardboards and metals rising a demand in recycling value. Separating the different elements found in waste streams is essential for enabling the recovery of useful materials, minimizing the amount of material sent to landfill and allowing recyclable materials to find a new incarnation. Separation is done through the multi-integrated system. Magnetic Drumis used to separate the ferrous components from the waste and inductive, capacitive and infrared sensors are used to separate the plastic, metals and glass. Air pressure Blower used blown away the light weight plastics and papers.
