Installations

MAGNETIC SEPARATION SYSTEMS

Magnetic Separation Systems Inc., Nashville, Tenn., has installed a four-line automated plastic sorting system for Phillips Plastic Recycling Co., Tulsa, Okla. The BottleSort System will debale, declump, screen, meter and sort polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate and high density polyethylene post-consumer plastic resins. The system will also keep a precise count of the number of containers ejected at each of its outputs.

More precisely, the system automatically sorts plastics into categories, including clear PET, colored PET, PVC, natural HDPE and mixed color HDPE. The unit has a rated capacity of 5,000 pounds per hour.

“The BottleSort system has allowed us to expand our supplier base,” says Bill Bridendolph of Phillips. “We are now able to accept commingled bales in addition to pre-sorted materials.”
