<br />TCMRF Single-Sort Constituent Test <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 3 - Loadiug Siugle-sort System <br /> <br />Single-sort System Described: BollegraaffLubo supplied the single-sort process system <br />at the TCMRF. It includes dual news screens and dual angle (finishing) screens for the <br />mechanical 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-Screens Sorting <br /> <br />. By hand: Sort corrugated paper (OCC). <br />. By hand: Sort mixed fiber (includes some OCC, boxboard, kraft bags). <br />. By hand: Sort unrecoverable! materials and miscellaneous scrap steel items.2 <br />. By hand: Another sort for the mixed fiber fraction. <br /> <br />. Mechanical Screens <br /> <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 separated by the news <br />screens proceeds to the "post-screens" sorting lines for quality check sorting. <br />. Angle (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 /> <br />I Materials not targeted for recycling at the TCMRF. Represented largely by plastic bags, bulky items and <br />materials incorrectly placed in the recycling cart rather than the trash container by the resident. <br />Categorized as "residue" in plant operations but better termed as "unrecoverable." <br />2 Although not a targeted material, scrap steel items are received and are removed from the line. They are <br />sent to a scrap yard for recycling. <br /> <br />4 <br />
