Lakeshore Recycling Systems opens new MRF in Illinois
<![CDATA[
Lakeshore Recycling Systems, headquartered in Morton Grove, Illinois, has opened a new material recovery facility in Forest View, Illinois. The single-stream system, in operation for only three weeks as if mid-March, was designed, engineered, manufactured and installed by Machinex, Plessisville, Quebec. Receiving 110,000 tons of residential and commercial material annually from the Chicago area that it processes at three Chicago-area MRFs, the company also serves all 605 Chicago public schools and eight city colleges.
The new system in Forest View includes a series of discs screen separators: a MACH OCC to sort cardboard; a MACH One to separate newspapers; and a Mach Ballistic to be used as a finishing screen to increase the quality on mixed fibers, Machinex says.
The system also includes a MACH Hyspec optical sorter, which sorts PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles with an efficiency up to 98 percent, according to the equipment provider. Also included into the system are ferrous and nonferrous separators to sort metal containers, a closed-door baler for plastic film and a glass cleanup system to obtain marketable glass. Lakeshore also chose Machinex’s new high-capacity II-Ram baler.
Machinex says the system exceeds the capacity requirement of 15 tons per hour, achieving 22.5 tons per hour.
"Machinex is extremely proud of the results of this project, and we are especially very pleased with the confidence shown by the Lakeshore management team,” says Chris Hawn, Machinex North American sales manager. He adds that Lakeshore had confidence in Machinex’s flexibility and responsiveness.
Jon Schroeder, general manager at Lakeshore Recycling Systems, says of Machinex, “From their installation crew to the startup team, their employees were great to work with. Everyone was very professional and made time to listen to our questions and concerns and addressed them right away.”
He continues, “Overall, we are very happy with Machinex equipment. We look forward to working with this great partner in the future and on continued support of this system.”
