Typical application · Recycling and waste
Sorting line at a recyclable waste center
Configuration for a sorting center where the conveyor is the team's workstation: belt height, width and speed define how much is sorted per hour.
The scenario
What usually holds this operation back
- Mixed material arriving in irregular volume throughout the shift.
- Team sorting on the floor or on a bench, with poor effort and posture.
- Belt speed with no adjustment, letting material go by unsorted or queuing on the line.
Typical region for this application: Metropolitan area. Manufactured at Demakine's plant in Limeira/SP, Brazil.
The configuration
What the factory delivers
- 1
Feeding
Feed conveyor receiving the material from unloading and regulating the infeed to the line.
- 2
Sorting
Sorting conveyor with working height and width defined by the number of operators per side.
- 3
Speed
Drive with speed adjustment, to follow the team's real pace.
- 4
Reject outlet
Outfeed conveyor taking the rejects straight to the baler or the skip.

Why there is no customer figure here
Demakine only publishes customer results with measurement taken in the operation and written authorization to use name and image. Until that exists, the website shows the technical configuration and the simulation, with open assumptions.
- Real technical configuration, with catalog products
- Labeled simulation, with visible assumptions
- No promise of payback, lead time or percentage
