FAQ

What permits are required for a waste processing plant?

Starting a plant requires government approvals, including project registration, Environmental Impact Assessment, and land-use permits. Zhongyi ECO provides comprehensive technical documentation and industry-standard certifications to support your local compliance process and ensure your project meets all regulatory requirements smoothly.

What is the typical investment for a production line?

Budgets vary by capacity and material type. Small-to-medium lines range from $50,000 to $435,000, while large-scale integrated systems involve customized infrastructure. We provide detailed financial feasibility studies, covering equipment, installation, and long-term operational costs to maximize your investment returns.

What are the power requirements and energy consumption?

Medium lines typically require 80kW–300kW. Actual consumption fluctuates based on material density and moisture levels. We offer site-specific energy audits and integrate high-efficiency motors to minimize utility costs, ensuring your recycling facility remains both environmentally friendly and economically viable.

How much space is needed for the facility?

Main equipment for medium lines requires 800–1,000m², plus additional space for raw materials and finished product storage. Our engineering team provides optimized floor plans and modular layouts to maximize your existing space and improve overall material flow efficiency.

What is the resale value of sorted materials?

Sorted outputs generate high revenue: scrap metal ($203–290/t), PET plastics ($435/t), and aluminum ($1,450/t). Our high-precision sorting ensures purity levels that meet the standards of plastic plants, power plants, and construction companies, securing a stable market for your outputs.

Can I visit a working project site?

Yes, we have operational projects globally processing MSW, construction, and landfill waste. We welcome you to visit our manufacturing base in China or nearby international sites. Contact our team to schedule a technical visit and see our machines in action.

How many operators are required for the line?

Our systems prioritize automation, requiring minimal staff for monitoring and maintenance. For higher efficiency, we integrate AI robots and optical sorters, which significantly reduce manual labor costs and improve sorting consistency compared to traditional manual labor-intensive sorting methods.

How do you handle material entanglement and clogging?

Our machines feature specialized anti-wrapping designs and pre-treatment units to handle long-fiber waste. With easy-access maintenance structures, our equipment ensures continuous operation with minimal downtime, even when processing the most challenging mixed waste streams in landfill mining projects.

Can you process high-moisture or sticky landfill waste?

We utilize advanced Flip-Flow and Spiral Screens specifically designed for wet materials. These systems prevent clogging through high-frequency vibration and unique mechanical actions, maintaining high sorting purity even when processing sticky, decomposed landfill waste where traditional trommels often fail.moothly.

Is it possible to upgrade my existing line?

Absolutely. We offer modular retrofitting services, adding wind shifters, eddy current separators, or AI sorting units to enhance your existing facility. We also provide environmental upgrades, including dust and odor control systems, to meet evolving local ecological and safety standards.
