Recycling Case Studies

Teamwork gets long-term results when it comes to advanced vibratory technology engineered and manufactured by General Kinematics. For proof, look no further than the recycle/waste management facility in Dania, Florida, where since 2002, they’ve been successfully processing the toughest C&D material for 14 years. That may not seem like a long time until you consider […]

General Kinematics is influential in many industries across the globe. One great example of the industry-leading work they are helping to facilitate can be seen in Dane County Wisconsin at their new state of the art C&D Recycling Center. The Heart of Your Sorting System With the introduction of the General Kinematics FINGER-SCREEN™ Vibratory Screen and DE-STONER® […]

In early May, a new construction and demolition (C&D) system was installed at the New Hanover County Recycling and Solid Waste center. MetalTech Systems, a General Kinematics representative, worked hard on the installation of the brand new system. The entire vibratory section of the C&D system is made up of General Kinematics vibratory equipment, including a […]

Earlier this year, General Kinematics had the honor of working with Peconic Recycling and Transfer Station in New York to install vibratory equipment for their new construction and demolition (C&D) waste and MSW waste system. This facility has been in the works for nearly eight years, and its grand opening is very exciting. The services […]

Challenge A northern Midwest recycling company needed to improve their initial screening at their transfer station. The unit they had in service was proving very costly in spare parts and down time, and the efficiency of the screening was low. The end user at the landfill also had complaints that too much large material was […]

Challenge A Florida recycling facility was researching the most cost effective way to process various material streams – commercial, industrial, and single stream. One area they identified to reduce cost was with the traditional approach disc screens. Approach Using a rotary shaft with multiple discs on plastic bags, wire, and strapping is costly in terms […]

CHALLENGE An East coast scrap processor needed a better way to sort the non-ferrous materials coming through their facility. The existing process was disadvantageous and consisted of piling the material on the ground to sort through by hand. APPROACH The General Kinematics team assisted in developing a two-part system that would be able to handle […]

CHALLENGE A Midwestern scrap yard needed to reclaim the steel on the ground of their yard and presented three challenges to General Kinematics for a turn-key system:   Receive and meter product (scrap steel sized 2″ to 60″, clay/dirt, wire/fluff, and organics) for processing. Size and isolate product 0″-1/2″, 1/2″-4″, and 4″ and above then […]

Rod Deck to the Rescue Challenge A Florida recycling facility was researching the most cost effective way to process various material streams – commercial, industrial, and single stream. One area they identified to reduce cost was with the traditional approach disc screens. Approach Using a rotary shaft with multiple discs on plastic bags, wire, and […]
