TCMRF Single-Sort Constituent Test <br />I�gure 3- Loading Single-sort System <br />Single-sort System Described: Bollegraaf/Lubo supplied the single-sort process system <br />at the TCMRF. It includes dual news screens and dual angle {finishing} screen.s for the <br />mechaa�ical sorting functions. There are dual manual sorting lines preceding the news <br />screens for initial sorting. The sorting regimen is described as follows: <br />, <br />• Pre-Scree�as Sorting <br />• By hand: Sort corrugated paper (OCC). <br />• By hand: Sort mixed fiber (includes some OCC, boxboard, kraft bags). <br />• By hazzd: Sort unrecoverablel zxaaterials and miscellazzeous scrap steel items.2 <br />• By hand: Another sort for the mixed fiber fraction. <br />• Mechanical Scree�s <br />News Screens: These have the purpose of sorting as much newspaper from the <br />rest of the other paper and containers as possible. Paper scparated by the news <br />screens proceeds to the "post-screens" sorting lines for qualiiy check sorting. <br />Axzgle (Finishing) Screens: These have the purpose of separating containers from <br />paper. Paper separated by these screens proceeds to a"post-screen" sorting line <br />for quality check sorting. <br />' Materials not targeted £or recycling at the TCMRF_ Represented largely by p]astic bags, bulky items and <br />materials incorrectly placed in the recycling cart rather than the trash containez by the resident. <br />Categorized as "residue" in plant operations but better tcrmed as "unrecoverable_" <br />Z AZthough not a tazgeted material, scrap steel items are received and aze zcmoved from the line. They are <br />scnt to a scrap yard for rccycling. <br />4 <br />
