Products and services

• Green Eye® Optical Sorter Patented hyperspectral and AI-driven optical sorting system that identifies materials by spectral signature (chemical composition) or visual characteristics (shape, size, color, structure). Features dual-sort capability for multiple commodities with real-time processing data. Operates in temperatures from 10°F to 125°F. Built and programmed entirely in-house. For MRFs, municipalities, and industrial recyclers.
• i-BOT® Robotic Sorter Dual-arm robotic sorting system with up to 80 picks per arm per minute, achieving 98%+ clean pick rates and 90%+ success in reaching designated drop chutes. Modular design allows relocation to different sort positions; no component weighs more than 100 lbs. The dual-arm variant achieves 95% material recovery with 98%+ accuracy across PET, HDPE, Polypropylene, fiber grades, OCC, aluminum, and mixed plastics.
• Polishing Screen Disc-based separation screen that separates 2D fibers from multi-dimensional containers with adjustable incline angles and patented wrap-reducing spacers. Designed to reduce wrapping and keep operations running efficiently.
• OCC Separation Screen Separates bulky cardboard with patented wrap-resistant alternating finger discs and pentagonal spacers, processing up to 60 TPH with adjustable deck spacing. Patented two-piece disc design enables replacement without removing shafts.
• Glass Breaker & Fines Removal Screen Removes 2-inch minus glass and fines from recyclables, protecting downstream equipment and reducing contamination and belt/disc wear.
• Eddy Current Separator Uses rare earth magnets rotating at high speed to create eddy fields for separating non-ferrous metals from waste streams. Customizable belt widths and magnetic strengths. Can also function as magnetic separator for ferrous metals.
• Trommels Rotating cylindrical screens for front-end fines, organics, and inerts removal with easy-to-replace perforated steel AR plate in various lengths and drum diameters.
• Metering Bin Heavy-duty metering system with chain-edge belt and variable drive controlling throughput from 40-120 cubic yard fill capacity. Includes optional bag opener system with metal spike fingers and adjustable spacing.
• Material Storage & Feeding Bunkers Mechanized gravity bins with hydraulic doors and heavy-duty corrugated steel bunker walls for durable material storage and automated dropping.
• Conveyors Multiple conveyor options including slider bed, idler style, chain edge, sort conveyor, and radial stacker conveyors for various material handling needs.
• SCADA Monitoring Software Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system for remote operations management, diagnostics, early warning systems, preventative maintenance scheduling, real-time data collection, and blockchain tracking for commodity management. Integrates with Microsoft Excel and preexisting software platforms.
• Preowned Equipment (Green Machine Brokers) Used recycling equipment brokerage service via trade-in, including trommels, screens, conveyors, shredders, balers, and complete systems, most with warranty. Customers can list and sell preowned equipment through this service.
• Single-Stream Recycling Systems Complete turnkey single-stream recycling systems built in-house with American-made parts, combining optical sorters, robotic sorters, screens, and conveyors for residential and commercial recyclables processing.
• Dual-Stream Recycling Systems Systems for separating fibers from containers with co-existing dual and single stream capabilities, allowing injection of dual-stream material into secondary processing lines.
• Plastics Recovery Facilities (PRF) Systems Systems using patented Green Eye hyperspectral optical and i-BOT robotic sorters to separate post-consumer plastics including PET, PET Thermoforms, HDPE, Polypropylene, achieving 95% pick rates at 99% cleanliness.
• Commercial & Industrial Recycling Systems Systems designed for higher cardboard/paper percentages with diverse material compositions from offices, factories, restaurants, and retail stores.
• Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Processing Systems
