OCC Screen

What Happens here?

After material leaves the Pre-sort, the materials fall into the OCC Screen. This machine is meant to separate larger pieces of cardboard directly into a holding bunker. All other materials fall through the holes between the spinning discs.

How it works:

The cardboard moves up across the spinning rubber discs and falls over to a belt that carries it to a holding bunker. All other smaller materials fall through the holes between the spinning discs. The glass is shattered inside the machine and is sent outside the building into the glass holding bunker. The rest of the material falls onto a belt and travels to the News Screen.

Where are the materials going next?

The materials that are destined to be separated further are going to the next part of the process, the News Screen.
