Total Recycling Systems

First step. Trommeling

Trommel

The tumbling action of the forces undersize food and earth particles through the screen, where they are collected for composting. Larger pieces consisting of paper, plastic, metal glass and wood travel to the end of the machine. Continuously rolling over the material bed, the trommel opens up the mass to constantly expose the undersize materials to the screen surface.

Second step-Heavies removal, Manual separation.

Sortation belt

A	Wood	2 people removing large pieces of timber i.e. doors etc. Can be recycled separately.
B	Steel Metals metal	2 people mixed metals. This is sent to metals recyclers.
C	Bricks and Concrete	Removal of bricks and concrete
		After plastic and papers are air conveyed to a separate pile, heavy inert waste drops to floor from air stream.

Third Step Size reduction Metal removal

Shredder Grinders and Magnets

Paper plastic and small pieces of wood are fed to the shredders.

After passing through the initial shredder, material now goes through a magnetic separator before reaching the grinder. It goes through a second magnetic separator after grinding into the small particles which permit the cleaning process to succeed.

Fourth step - Hydrolyzing

Hydrolyzer and Fluidizer.

As part of the neutralization process for post consumer waste, Total Recycling Systems has developed a rotary hydrolyzer designed to dissolve and separate the clinging

organic food residue from the cellulostics and plastic. This design yields an important advantage for the composite extrusion process by providing material not contaminated by random food substances that have proven problematic for the baseline extrusion process. The raw waste which has been shredded is fed continuously into the hydrolyzer where it uses extreme heat, steam and pressure to kill bacteria and viruses while breaking down carbon bonds in the material.
The sanitized material is then pumped into the Fluidizer where it is dried. The residence times in both the hydrolyzing and fluidizing units is approximately 25 minutes.

Fifth Step Formulating

Blender

The mixture is now sanitizes and consists of a mixture which is 60% paper and 40% plastic which is an odorless, brown fluffy material.It is now blended in large batches with high quality recycled plastic equivalent to 10% of the total weight. samples are taken and quality control; of the batch is performed.

Sixth Step Processing into Composite Parts.

Special extruders

The blend is conveyed into specially built extruders with special dies made to handle the waste derived composite formula. Parts are manufactured that have the quality of composite wood manufactured from far more expensive materials. Many different shapes can be manufactured ranging from 1X4 planks to railroad ties.
