Machinex To Help Equip New UK MRF
Machinex has been selected as the preferred bidder by Coventry City Council in the United Kingdom to help equip what the Quebec, Canada-based firm is calling “the most ad- vanced material recycling facility (MRF) of its kind within the U.K., and potentially one of the most advanced MRFs around the world.” Infrastructure The system is being designed to sort up to 175,000 metric tons of mixed dry recyclables per year and is scheduled to be operational by the summer of 2023. The MRF will be operated by Sherbourne Recycling Ltd., which Machinex calls a wholly-owned local authority com- pany being established to manage the facility on behalf of eight partnering government councils from the surround- ing region. Machinex’s design uses 14 SamurAI sorting robots and 14 optical sorters (including 13 MACH Hyspec optical sorters). The company said the MRF will be “one of, if not the first, facility in the world that integrates, at this scale, artificial intelligence at the core of its system, allowing real-time in- terconnectivity between the main sorting equipment.” The system will be processing a throughput of 47.5 metric tons per hour of recyclables with an extremely minimized level of human labor, estimated at five people.
