Oklahoma-based American Waste Control (AWC) has selected Eugene, Oregon-based Bulk Handling Systems (BHS) to supply a replacement of the company’s single-stream recycling system that was heavily damaged by a fire this spring.
According to BHS, the new material recovery facility (MRF) system in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will boost throughput by 33 percent and increase AWC’s targeted recovery performance on its fiber and container lines with the addition of the latest BHS optical and robotic sorting.
The new design includes BHS “no wrap” Tri-Disc screens, National Recovery Technology (NRT) optical and Max-AI artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Max-AI technology has been designed to identify recyclables similar to the way a person does, plus collect and report material characterization information.
As part of the new AWC system, nine Max-AI AQC (Autonomous Quality Control) robotic sorters will identify and pull residue and return recyclables from sort positions. The robotic sorters include a Max-AI AQC-C unit, plus a CoBot that is designed to work alongside people and can be installed on narrow walkways and other tight locations with minimal structural requirements and footprint.
“The industry has changed and this new system will bring Tulsa to the forefront of recycling excellence,” says AWC Vice President of Recycling Robert Pickens. “BHS offers the overall quality, partnership and advanced technology to help AWC achieve the throughput and quality to meet our business goals. We believe the future of recycling will rely heavily on using technology and data to optimize performance and the Max-AI and NRT equipment in this system will deliver that for our operation. We are excited for our future and confident that this innovative technology will empower us to meet recycling expectations for our community and for our business.”
Comments BHS Sales Director Paul Holman, “This single-stream system is an excellent example of new technology being used to adapt to change in the industry. The system features proven screen technology to increase throughput and precisely present material downstream to NRT and Max-AI sorters to maximize both recovery and product purity. We are thrilled to deliver this creative solution to meet our customer’s business objectives. I want to thank the AWC team for choosing BHS and we look forward to our future collaboration.”
BHS describes itself as a worldwide leader in the innovative design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of sorting systems and components for the solid waste, recycling, waste-to-energy, and construction and demolition industries.
