TECHNOLOGIES TO IMPLODE GLASS AND TO CAPTURE BAGGED SSO

CORPORATE FACTS Founded in 1970, we are celebrating our 50 th year in the recycling industry in 2020! Machinex is a world leader in the industry, developing cutting edge sorting, waste management and recycling technology. Over the years, we have designed and installed over 375 turnkey facilities! With over 400 employees, Machinex is involved in the project from the beginning until the end. WE OFFER A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP WITH AN INTEGRATED SOLUTION  Designed according to the customer’s specific needs  Equipment manufacturer  Installation and start-up  Service and preventive maintenance plan

DEFINING MRF GLASS  Glass purity in weight: 75-85%  CSP (Ceramic): 1-2%  Plastics: 1-3%  Paper: 6-8%  Ferrous : 0.5 -1%  Non-Ferrous : 0.5 -1%  Organic (food): 1-3%  Others : 4-7% IS THIS GLASS ???

GLASS PRE-CLEANING Before crushing, CLEAN Even though Implosion does target mainly Glass, hard plastic can break. Use aspiration to remove as much paper as possible Use magnets to remove small ferrous Use screens to remove large items

IMPLOSION IMPLODER

IMPLOSION IMPLODER  Replaceable lined interior (Clad Plating)  Tungsten rotor blades and reject mechanism  Lined discharge to slow glass speed  Adjustable gap and rotor speed Source : EEQ – Innovative Glass Works Plan

IMPLOSION GLASS DISTRIBUTION ADJUSTMENTS 1550 RPM with 10mm gap 1550 RPM with 2mm gap

IMPLOSION REFERENCE – EEQ PILOTE (5) PROJECTS 5 projects – 2 different Imploder Models  K300 (up to 6 TPH)  K500 (up to 8 TPH) CRUSHED GLASS(<6mm) REACHED 99.85%* IN PURITY UNCRUSHED GLASS (>6mm) REACHED 99.4%* IN PURITY *http://www.eeq.ca/en/the-recycle-bin/programs-and-initiative/innovative-glass-works-plan/

POTENTIAL END MARKETS EEQ GOAL IS TO PROVE THAT 100% OF THE LOCAL GLASS IN THE BLUE BIN IS RECYCLABLE  Pool filtration  Sandblast media  Glass Wool insulation  Fly ash replacement in concrete (CSA A3000) (requires post purification and grinding)  Underground pipe subbase and covered insulation (Foam or Cellular Glass)  Promote markets other than the bottle to bottle OTHER EXISTING MARKETS  Bottle to bottle  Foam glass (aggregates)  Sport turf filling  Sand for Golf sand traps

LESSONS LEARNED IMPLODERS  Composition of MRF glass poses challenges  Avoid sending large piece of ferrous/non-ferrous items  Long parts can bridge inside  Need a long part separator  Once glass is crushed, there is no turning back. Ask what your buyers want… SYSTEM IN GENERAL  Snow is a big challenge (Builds up everywhere and requires higher maintenance throughout the entire cleaning system)  Wet shredded paper is hard to remove and stick on everything

OTHER CRUSHERS GLASS BREAKING BENEFITS DISADVANTAGES TYPICAL WEAR COST PER TON AND DEVICE OUTPUT TIME LAPSE BTW SIZE INTERVENTIONS  Does not reduce paper/plastics  Fragile < 3/8’’  $2 - $4 / 6-8 months  Adjustable IMPLODER  Low Intervention rate  Low electric consumption (10HP)  Small footprint (15 sq. ft)  Controlled infeed not required  High electric consumption (75 < 1/2’’  $0.5 / 80 to 600 hours  Large throuput (>50 TPH) HP) VSI  Large footprint (30 sq ft)  Reduce paper/plastics  High Intervention rate  Controlled infeed not required  Heavy >3/8’’  $0.06 / unknown freq.  Large throuput (>50 TPH)  Large footprint (25 sq ft) HSI  Med. electric consumption (20HP)  Hydraulic lifting req.  Reduce paper/plastics  Some have a lot of hammers  Controlled infeed not required  Can bridge with flexible material >1’’  No data on glass ROLL CRUSHER  Low electric consumption (10HP)  Focus: large 3D glass  One installed in Quebec in 2018

QUESTIONS IMPLOSION ? ? ? ? ?

SOURCE SEPARATED ORGANIC (SSO) WITH THE GOAL TO BAN ORGANICS IN LANDFILLS BY 2020, QUEBEC IS STRIVING TO FIND SOLUTIONS. The City of Quebec has decided to collect organics using bagged SSO that will be put into the garbage bin. This will simplify and reduce collection. Now it is collected… then what?

BAG RECOGNITION AND REMOVAL ORGANICS… HOW TO COLLECT THEM!!! Collection Participation Environmental Collection Type Organic Waste Quality Costs Rate Footprint Green/Brown bin Drop-off --- MBT (organic recovery through waste) --- Bagged SSO in garbage bin --- *There is a lot of debate in the collection types mainly regarding Participation Rates and Organic Waste Quality, Machinex Industries does not want to propose any collection types, but wants to show that it is feasable to use bagged SSO in Garbage bins.
