Bulky Waste Processing & Recycling System
Bulky Waste Processing & Recycling System | Ground-Level and Transfer Station Configurations
A Bulky Waste Processing System reduces oversized items such as mattresses, sofas, pallets, and construction debris into manageable material for sorting, transport, or downstream recycling. Torontech's ToronBWS™ range covers two configurations built around a dual shaft shredder and magnetic separator, designed to a machinery-safety framework that aligns with ISO 12100. Waste management facilities, transfer stations, and recycling operators use these systems to cut hauling costs and free up storage space before material moves further into disposal or recovery.
The range spans a ground-level, conveyor-fed line for standalone recycling operations and a tower-structure unit built to feed directly into a transfer station's compaction stage. Both configurations shred material in a single pass and separate ferrous metal automatically, so operators do not have to sort by hand before the material moves downstream.
Applications
Bulky Waste Processing Systems serve facilities that need to reduce the volume of oversized waste before it moves further into disposal, recycling, or transport.
- Furniture and Mattress Recycling: shreds sofas, mattresses, and cabinets, liberating embedded steel springs and frames for scrap recovery
- Waste Transfer Stations: cuts bulky waste volume ahead of compaction, reducing the number of loads needed for offsite haul
- Wooden Pallet and Formwork Recycling: reduces nailed pallets and construction formwork into pieces suitable for wood processing or biomass fuel
- Municipal Solid Waste Pretreatment: processes bulky household items collected through municipal bulky-item programs
- Scrap Metal Recovery: recovers ferrous metal, such as springs, hardware, and nails, from shredded material for resale
- Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste Recycling: handles mixed wood and metal debris from demolition sites ahead of material recovery
Bulky Waste Processing & Recycling System Range
The range covers two distinct configurations, chosen by how bulky waste arrives at your site and where it needs to go next.
Bulky Waste Processing System (ToronBWS™ 100)
A ground-level, conveyor-fed line for standalone bulky waste processing. A metal chain plate conveyor feeds a dual shaft shredder, a magnetic separator recovers ferrous metal, and a belt conveyor carries the remaining material to the next processing or storage stage. This configuration suits recycling facilities running bulky waste as an independent line, separate from a compaction or transfer operation.
Bulky Waste Processing System (ToronBWS™ 200TS)
A tower-structure unit built for waste transfer stations. A infeed hopper and auxiliary feeder load material into the dual shaft shredder from above, and the shredded output discharges through a belt conveyor directly into the site's compaction stage. This configuration suits transfer stations with limited floor space that need shredding integrated directly ahead of compaction, removing a separate handling step.
How to Choose the Right Bulky Waste Processing System
- For a standalone recycling line with yard or conveyor feeding: choose the ToronBWS™ 100 for ground-level, continuous processing.
- For a transfer station with limited floor space: choose the ToronBWS™ 200TS so the shredder feeds directly into your existing compaction equipment.
- For sites processing mostly furniture and mattresses: either configuration recovers ferrous springs and hardware automatically via the magnetic separator.
- For sites processing mostly wood pallets and formwork: the ToronBWS™ 200TS's metered infeed hopper handles nailed wood without manual pre-sorting.
- For sites prioritizing throughput continuity: the ToronBWS™ 100's conveyor feed supports steady loading from a yard or stockpile.
