<![CDATA[

Van Dyk Recycling Solutions (VDRS), Stamford, Connecticut, has announced that it has supplied the single-stream sorting system for the FCC Environmental Services Dallas material recovery facility (MRF). The Dallas facility is one of FCC Environmental’s first MRFs in the United States.

The MRFF accepts single-stream material from the cities of Dallas and University Park, Texas. VDRS says it designed the system to bring Dallas closer to its goal of zero waste by 2040. It successfully processed more than 1,000 tons of material in its first two weeks and passed its required acceptance test for the city of Dallas prior to the contract start date of Jan. 1, 2017, VDRS reports.

The Dallas MRF includes a series of starscreens (Lubo Systems) that separate old corrugated containers (OCC), glass, fiber and containers, including VDRS’ newest offering, the Anti-Wrapping ONP (old newspapers) screen, the widest screen in the industry at 13.3 feet with 440 stars, the equipment provider says. The stars incur virtually no wrapping, even after hours of operation. Cleaning and maintenance time is reduced to less than 10 percent that of traditional starscreens.

A total of four TOMRA (formerly TITECH) Autosort 4 optical sorters recover any remaining fiber and separate all plastics. An overbelt magnet and eddy current recover ferrous and aluminum cans, respectively, while a glass cleanup system (from Walair) creates four fractions of clean, sellable glass. The system is capped off by a Bollegraaf HBC-120S baler.

VDRS is the exclusive distributor of Bollegraaf, Lubo and TOMRA equipment in North America.
