MT Makina Packaging Waste Sorting and Collection Facilities (TAT)
The separate collection and sorting of packaging waste at the source, according to its type and with high purity, is the most critical link in the recycling chain. MT Makina installs turnkey Packaging Waste Sorting Plants with advanced technology for municipalities and private recycling companies, classifying mixed packaging waste (plastic, paper, cardboard, metal, glass) with the highest efficiency.

Our Turnkey Sorting Plant Solutions
Our facilities are designed as manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic (with optical separators) systems, depending on the waste composition of the region and the targeted daily/hourly capacity.

1. Waste Feeding and Pre-treatment Systems
The controlled transfer of incoming mixed packaging waste to the sorting line determines the overall efficiency of the facility.

  • Z-Type and Steel Track Conveyors: Ensure the regular, blockage-free, and uninterrupted feeding of incoming mixed waste into the system.

  • Bag Opening Machines: These machines open bags of household packaging waste without damaging the contents, distributing the contents evenly along the sorting line.

  • Dosing Bunkers: Intelligent feeding units that prevent excessive material accumulation on the line and optimize flow.

2. Mechanical and Technological Separation Units
These are advanced mechanical systems that reduce the need for human labor and maximize the sorting speed.

  • Trommel (Rotary) Screens: Classify waste according to size, removing organic debris, small glass shards, and dust from the system.

  • Ballistic Separators: These devices flawlessly separate materials based on their physical behavior, classifying them into 2D (paper, plastic film, nylon) and 3D (PET bottles, bulky plastics, metal cans).

  • Optical Sorters (NIR): Using infrared sensor technology, they classify plastics accurately in milliseconds according to polymer type (PET, PE, PP) and even color.

  • Magnetic and Eddy Current Separators: Automatically remove ferrous metals and aluminum cans from mixed waste in the line.

3. Manual Sorting and Comfort Conditions
These are the areas where final quality control is carried out or manual classification is performed after technological separation.

  • Climate-Controlled Separation Cabinets: Modern, airtight cabinet designs with heating, cooling, and dust extraction systems, allowing personnel to work in ergonomic conditions.

  • Speed-Adjustable Sorting Belts: Enables integrated operation with heavy-duty conveyors and specialized discharge chutes for different waste types.

4. Baler Press and Storage Systems
This is the final stage where the separated, valuable raw materials are prepared for shipment.

  • Fully Automatic Horizontal Baler Presses: Press separated paper, cardboard, PET, and nylon under high pressure to create standard-sized, dense, and easy-to-transport bales.

  • Automatic Drainage Storage Bunkers: Ground-level or elevated bunker systems with automated drainage, where separated products are stored before baling.

Why Choose MT Makina Separation Plants?

  • High Purity Rate: Pure raw material output that provides the highest commercial value in recycling through advanced separator integration.

  • Modular and Scalable Design: Flexible infrastructure suitable for future capacity increases or the addition of new technologies (new optical splitters, etc.).

  • Maximum Workplace Safety: Emergency stop systems, sensor-controlled safety barriers, and PLC-controlled central automation software.

  • End-to-End Engineering: Full service from site measurement and 3D layout planning to installation, personnel training, and 24/7 after-sales technical support.
