Beyond blades: other hard-to-recycle waste

Wind blades are our focus, but the same machine already processes these streams. Each is landfilled in large volumes today.

Gypsum & drywall

Effective management of C&D waste is crucial for reducing landfill disposal and promoting recycling. Mixed debris is pulverized and liberated in one pass, so wood, aggregate and fines can be screened apart.

Municipal solid waste

MSW fines: before

Screened MSW fines output stockpiled at a processing facility
MSW fines: after

MSW organics, when landfilled, create methane and add to greenhouse gas emissions. The TORXX Kinetic Pulverizer® machine recovers value from MSW fines and residues that MRFs would otherwise send to landfill.

Glass

Mixed MRF glass with contaminants before processing
MRF glass: before
MRF glass after processing, screened into four size fractions from over 1/4 inch to under 0.9 mm
MRF glass: after, screened into four sizes

Make glass a transparent asset. The TORXX Kinetic Pulverizer® machine turns scrap glass into sand, while labels, caps and other contaminants are liberated and screened out.

Resilient flooring

Stacks of vinyl plank flooring scrap on a pallet
Resilient flooring: before
Pulverized resilient flooring regrind
Resilient flooring: after

Vinyl plank and tile flooring (LVT, SPC and WPC) is made of bonded layers that are hard to separate, so much of the manufacturing scrap and old flooring ends up in landfill.
