<br />TCMRF Single-Sort Constituent Test <br /> <br />grade with an action limit of2 percent. Any deviation above 2 percent in the regular <br />sampling of bales subjects the production staffto a number of remedial procedures <br />entailing review of all operational functions. It also requires additional sampling until a <br />production standard ofless than 1.5 percent is met. <br /> <br />Four bales were selected randomly during this test. The combined weight of the bales <br />was 4.97 tons, representing 11.3 percent of the newspaper production for the test. <br />Sampling of the bales confirmed production at a 1.5 percent quality standard. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL COMMENTS <br /> <br />It is important to note that this test was performed for the purposes of ascertaining <br />material constituents of the single-sort collection and processing system. It was not the <br />purpose of this test to determine production efficiencies or comparison of manual and <br />mechanical systems. This was not a test of efficiencies for the unassisted operation of the <br />mechanical screens or other mechanical systems, including the air classifier and magnets, <br />as provided at the TCMRF. The test was performed according to normal operating <br />practices for the TCMRF with usual staffing levels and sorting procedures. <br /> <br />10 <br />
