Frequentlyaskedquestions.
Straight answers about MRFs, integration, retrofits, and glass cleaning.
What is a material recovery facility (MRF)?
A material recovery facility (MRF) is a plant that receives, sorts, and prepares recyclable materials — such as paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, and glass — for sale to end-market manufacturers. MRFs use screens, optical sorters, magnets, and balers to separate mixed recyclables into clean commodity streams.
What does an MRF integrator do?
An MRF integrator designs and installs recycling systems by interfacing equipment from multiple manufacturers — conveyors, screens, optical sorters, robotics, and balers — into one coordinated system, then commissions, maintains, and upgrades it over its life.
How long does an MRF retrofit take?
It depends on scope — a single equipment swap can take days, while a full sort-line rebuild can run several weeks. Titus phases retrofits around your production schedule, pre-fabricates and pre-wires as much as possible off-line, and sequences the on-site work to keep the facility running and minimize downtime.
What is glass beneficiation?
Glass beneficiation is the process of cleaning contaminants — paper, labels, and organic residue — out of the mixed glass stream collected through single-stream recycling. Titus's patented glass cleaning system separates those contaminants and returns them to their material flows, producing furnace-ready cullet that end-markets will buy and recovering shredded paper for resale.
