SINCE AR-VAL’S CREATION, MANY LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND PRIVATE OPERATORS HAVE PUT THEIR TRUST IN US

The Infeed hopper enables the sorting line to be supplied with waste. Equipped with a number of functions, such as throughput regulation and preparation of the flow of waste according to the type of collection and the type of material. It may be equipped with a bag opener, in order to empty bags without damaging the content, and with a weighing system which allows the weight of the material to be checked and recorded.

This equipment enables the materials to be taken for treatment or to be removed after treatment. Ar-Val designs and produces conveyors for all types of waste.

This device regulates the thickness of the layer of waste material on the belt.

These machines separate material according to size. In some cases, the screen aids regulation of the flow of waste. Ar-Val designs and produces several types of screen, according to the type and fraction of waste to be treated.

FINES SCREEN

This screening equipment extracts small recyclable products.

BALLISTIC SEPARATOR

The Ballistic separator uses the physical properties of the incoming flow to separate the material. Its operation rests on the ballistic properties of the waste to be sorted:

• • 3D, hollow objects bounce on the separator paddles and due to gravity, are evacuated via the bottom of the equipment.
• Flat material which does not bounce move towards the top of the screen.

Examples of ballistic separators

The trommel is an inclined, rotation drum made of perforated metal sheets, through which material passes and is separated according to size. It is equipped with a speed regulator enabling rotation speed to be modified.

Example of a trommel for sorting residual municipal waste

This screen removes large cardboard objects and / or bulky objects.

It must be ensured that sorting operators have comfortable working conditions in the manual sorting cabin, and sorting tables which can be adapted to all operators, and which meet applicable standards and regulations. For this reason, the sorting tables designed and produced by Ar-Val meet the French X35-702 standard on ergonomics in sorting cabins. This standard defines the requirements which must be included during design of manual sorting cabins for mixed dry household recyclables or similar. The standard relates to the structure, material, space and workstations necessary to carry out manual sorting of waste in a sorting cabin.

Example of a sorting cabin

Equipment maintenance and handling in a plant is potentially risky and may be a source of accidents for operators. Therefore, Ar-Val has developed the appropriate equipment to facilitate maintenance for each machine.

Example of a bracket for a Ballistic separator

Continuous analysis of the composition of the waste to be treated is essential for the operational and production management of a plant. Ar-Val has therefore designed a simple characterization table, consisting of an automatic tipper
