This MRF consists of:

• a Presona LP100 baler
• Two conveyors
• sort cabin
• metal separator
• plastic, cans, paper and board baled.

The facility sorts and bales the kerbside collections from a large area of the North Riding. Middletons installed a Presona 100t baler with in-floor conveyor that separately bales newsprint, cardboard, cans and plastic bottles.

The pre-sorted waste is first passed over a vibrating screen that removes any small dross pieces, then conveyed through the picking cabin. Foreign bodies are picked out leaving the cans to be magnetically separated into tin and aluminium. "We particularly wanted to make the picker's job simple so all they have to do is take the articles off the conveyor and drop them into the chutes by their side. There's no throwing or strength required. The enclosures beneath the cabin are then mechanically emptied into the nearby in-floor conveyor to be baled."
