What's behind a recycled bottle?

Glass is an environmentally friendly material that can be recycled many times. However, before being recycled, the collected glass debris must be subjected to pre-treatments to remove impurities. Only after the purification process can glass be considered a secondary raw material, ready to be melted again. Often the quality of the glass collected can represent a problem, because of the high level of impurities present which cause delays in the glass recovery and recycling process.

Recuperadora de Vidrio de Barcelona SA overcame these delays by using MB Crusher's padding bucket, the Spanish company managed to increase its productivity by up to 80%. But not only that. The quality of the work also improved.

"We were looking for a solution for our activity, given the increase year after year of the problem of the impurities that people deposit in the glass containers," said Jordi Díaz, the company's manager.

We had many problems in our production line because of these contaminants.

We needed to find a solution to eliminate everything before entering our processing line, we saw your products and requested information and so now we have achieved our goal: that impurities won’t enter our processing line.

More productivity: the sorting bucket separates glass waste from impurities faster and more accurately, ensuring cleaner material is subsequently introduced into the

recycling cycle. With great cost and time savings for the company.

Reduced environmental impact: with the MB Crusher only clean material is introduced into the recycling plants. This means less waste of natural resources and greater protection of the environment. The recycling process is not compromised by poor-quality material.

With the MB Crusher padding bucket, glass is separated and cleaned quickly and efficiently, becoming a quality raw material for recycling. A real step forward towards a circular and sustainable economy.
