Capitol Recycling, located in Hartford, CT, USA, recently upgraded its fiber sorting line to accept commercial and residential waste by installing a system completely designed and manufactured by Sherbrooke OEM.

The retrofitted system has a special finger screen that replaces the traditional OCC screen. The downtime from material wrapping around the rotating shafts was completely eliminated. Also, there is no longer a need for a pre-sort conveyor. The system includes: apron conveyor, finger screen, glass breaker, fiber screen, magnets and optical sorters. The system’s capacity is 20-25 tph for dry commercial waste and 30-35 tph for residential material.

Sherbrooke OEM was founded in 1997 and specializes in designing and manufacturing equipment for the recycling industry.
