Stadler Selecciona S.L.U., a Portugal-based subsidiary of German equipment maker Stadler Anlagenbau GmbH, has designed and installed a light packaging sorting plant for Valorsul at its Centro de Triagem do Oeste treatment facility in the Greater Lisbon region of Portugal.

Valorsul, a waste and recycling firm, processes around 850,000 tons of discarded municipal materials each year in 19 municipalities in the Lisbon area, and chose Stadler for what it calls a “substantial upgrade and optimization” of its Centro de Triagem do Oeste plant.

“We chose Stadler because of the quality and detail of the studies they presented,” says António Afonso, recycling plant manager at Valorsul. “Also, the visits we made to various facilities designed by Stadler allowed us to ascertain the quality of the equipment and of its assembly.”

In the newly configured plant, mixed material first passes through a sorting cabin and bag opener before then heading to two Stadler STT2000 ballistic separators that separate the flexible and 3D materials from each other.

Plastic film recovery from the flexible output is improved with the use of a new aspiration system and STT2000 ballistic separators with forced ventilation, Stadler says.
