500 tonnes a day, fully automatic, one year after startup – that's the kind of number that turns a single installation into a reference case for what's possible.
One year after starting up its new glass recycling line, Massfix in Sao Paulo now recovers more than 500 tonnes of glass per day, completely automatically, using PICVISA's optical sorting technology.
500 tonnes a day is a substantial volume for any sorting line, and reaching that figure on a fully automated basis a year after startup says as much about the operational reliability of the equipment as it does about its initial sorting accuracy. For a line to sustain this kind of throughput automatically, the sorting technology has to keep performing consistently under continuous real-world operation – not just in the conditions of an initial test run.
For PICVISA, Massfix's results provide a concrete reference point for what its glass sorting technology can achieve at scale – relevant not only for the Brazilian market, where the company's presence had been building through events like Waste Expo Brazil, but for any operator considering a glass recovery line of comparable size.
