RECYCLING CHUTE

Our recycling chute system saves space, reduces costs, and transforms waste into a valuable resource. Supporting green building initiatives, it simplifies waste separation at the source. With a press-button panel on each chute door, your building can sort metals, cardboard, and plastic efficiently. Cost-effective, eco-friendly, and modern, this system is a sustainable amenity that adds value.

Recycling Chute Structure

Although chutes are sometimes believed to reduce the recycling ratio, our experience demonstrates that with proper use of apartment recycling chutes, recycling becomes easier, resulting in increased participation.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

Less area needed for separate bins for recycables and less time spent on their collection means more time for the staff to concentrate on other activities.

IMPROVED HYGIENE

We keep the chutes disinfected with an automatic cleaning system. Since staff no longer need to visit and empty recycling bins periodically, the overall health and hygiene of the recycling process are greatly improved.

ENHANCED SOUND PROPERTIES

The chute inlets operate silently, as does the separator device. The chute is typically covered with sound-insulating material and isolated from the slab with rubber isolator pads, making the system practically noiseless.

OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Our automation system is simple yet effective. Each hopper door monitors and selects the type of recyclable discarded. The separators are operated by electric actuators and equipped with safety position sensors for better control. Our electric panels are integrated into building management systems (BMS) and operate seamlessly with low-voltage, reliable control units, ensuring the safety of both residents and building operators.

EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
Standard on all models, twist and release operation to shut off power in the event of an emergency.

DURABLE PUSH BUTTON PENDANT
Low voltage push buttons with a positive action and strain relief wire, moulded into the pendant cable for added support and durability.

Equipped with a sanitizing liquid tank and dosage pump which injects degreaser and a disinfectant solution into the water flow that is sprayed inside the chute.

An extra Pendant control lifts/lowers the brush unit manually for maintenance.

The brush has a rubber cylindrical housing with embedded stiff nylon brushes which are lowered and raised by a geared electric motor.

The nylon brushes scrape and clean the internal surface as they move up and down in the chute.

The flushing spray head at the top of the chute and the floors disburses a cleaning solution down the inside of the chute to control odours and bacteria.

The safety interlocking check mechanism ensures no doors can be opened unless the cleaning cycle is completed and the brush is in its designated place at the top.

SIMPLE CONTROLS
& MONITORING

With just a button press on each hopper door, the internal separator is activated, directing waste into the correct container.

1. Choose the type of waste using the press buttons.

2. Await the green light, indicating readiness.

3. Upon unlocking, open the door and dispose of the waste.

The door automatically closes, and the recyclables are sorted into their designated storage area.

The proximity sensors positioned above the trolleys are interconnected with the hopper doors and when one of the trolleys is full, the doors are locked automatically.

Tri-Sorting Chute

With the TriSorter, your building will benefit from the high-quality sorting of metals, cardboard, and plastic packaging through a single custom recycling chute equipped with a press-button selection panel available on each floor.

Bi-Sorting Chute

Our bi-sorting chutes are ingeniously crafted to facilitate the separation of mixed waste and recyclables within apartment buildings. This efficient apartment recycling chute system not only conserves space and cuts down on handling expenses but also turns waste into a resource, thereby adding significant value to your property.

AUTO-BIN SWITCH

The systems can also be used with chute-fed compactors, carousels, and conveyors for enhanced efficiency and safety.

What is a Recycling Chute?

A recycling chute, unlike a standard garbage chute, allows for the convenient and separate collection of recyclable materials through a single recycling system chute. This makes waste sorting easier and more efficient.

Who Needs Recycling Chute Systems

Recycling chute systems are ideal for multi-storey residential and commercial buildings where separate collection of recyclables, such as plastics, metals, and paper, is required.

How Do Recycling Chutes Work?

Recycling chutes are designed for efficiency and simplicity. They don’t automatically sort falling objects but rely on users to select the type of recyclable material using press buttons on each chute hopper door. These buttons control the e-diverters at the bottom of the chute, directing discarded items into the appropriate recycling bins.

Why is A Recycling Chute Important?

Recycling chutes play a vital role in achieving higher recycling rates and reducing landfill waste. By segregating waste at its source, these systems enhance indoor waste management, lower disposal costs, and generate income for the building by ensuring recyclables are collected in optimal condition.

Benefits of Using Recycling Chutes

Environmental Impact: Recycling chutes minimize environmental impacts by diverting up to 75% of recyclables from landfills, ensuring proper storage, transportation, and segregation of materials.

Income Generation: Valuable recyclables collected through the system can be sold to contractors, creating a revenue stream for the building.

Cost Savings: Proper segregation reduces disposal and transportation costs by up to 75%, making it a cost-effective solution.

What are The Main Components of A Recycling Chutes System?

In addition to standard garbage chute components, recycling chutes include:
• Press-button selection panels at hopper doors.
• E-diverters at the bottom of the chute to direct materials into specific bins.

Can Recycling Chutes be Installed in All Buildings?

Yes, recycling chutes can be installed in most buildings, provided the structure allows for an accessible garbage chute slab and a suitable waste collection area for direct discharge.

Are There Any Regulations Governing Recycling Chutes?

Yes, regulations vary by country and city council. In most cases, directives require separate collection of dry recyclables and residual waste, often with color-coded bins for easy identification.

Are Recycling Chutes Different From Regular Chutes?

Yes, apartment recycling chutes are equipped with e-diverters and press-button selection panels. Users must select the type of material they wish to discard before opening the chute hopper door. This ensures proper sorting and maximizes recycling efficiency.
