In Oslo, NG Group had a clear ambition: to make recycled paper competitive with virgin raw materials.

To achieve this, they decided to invest in a new paper sorting line that was designed around three practical goals:

✅ Increase automation.
✅ Increase operational flexibility.
✅ Maintain and improve output quality.

Azortum's role was system integration.

We engineered the overall layout, conveyors, structures, bunkers, material flow, and integration of specialist equipment. This meant bringing optical sorting, robotic sorting, feeding systems, and quality-control technology together into a single working production line.

The result is an automated paper sorting line capable of processing 20 tonnes per hour and up to 120,000 tonnes per year.

For Norsk Gjenvinning, the most important outcome is not only capacity, but the ability to produce high-quality secondary raw material with 97.5% de-ink fiber purity and less than 3% residue.

The fully automatic line also proved to be adaptable. This supported a later retrofit adding Tetra Pak recovery, showing how a well-integrated system can evolve with changing material streams and customer needs.

The result is a high-capacity paper-sorting line that provides NG Group with the flexibility, quality, and yield needed to produce secondary raw materials for industrial markets.

How do you deliver a complete sorting line under pressure? 💎

When we started designing this packaging waste sorting line, the schedule was tight from day one. The target completion time was 18 months, but Ecoservice needed results faster.

That meant construction, engineering, and installation had to occur simultaneously. Equipment was delivered and mounted before parts of the building were completed. In one case, a drum screen had to be lowered through a partially finished roof with only centimeters to spare.

Azortum designed a compact, high-capacity sorting system that made full use of the available floor space. Next to the drum screen, the line also brings together optical sorters, eddy-current separators, and magnetic separators, all of which create a single efficient material flow. Fire detection and suppression systems were also built in from the start to meet strict safety requirements.

The result is a plant that sorts packaging waste into 10 clean fractions and prepares Ecoservice for future recycling demand, operating reliably and continuously under heavy load.

Trash goes in. Valuable materials come out. ♻️

That is the simple idea behind modern packaging waste sorting, but making it work reliably at industrial scale is anything but simple. Every sorting line has its own operational reality: input material can vary, space can be limited, timelines can be tight.

Sometimes a facility needs to be rebuilt and operational within months. Other times, the system has to be designed in stages because the exact composition of the waste stream is still evolving.

That is where engineering, experience, and flexibility matter.

At Azortum, we design and deliver waste sorting lines around the customer’s long-term business goals, taking into account also the material streams, capacity needs, and available footprint. Every step, from pre-sorting to final quality control, is designed to recover more value from waste.

Over the years, we have helped waste management companies overcome complex sorting challenges across the Baltics and Nordics.

This high-capacity shredding line processes 70 tons of biofuel per hour, including recycled waste wood.

By enabling a broader fuel mix, the line has supported a major increase in the use of recycled wood, from 20% to 75%. This gives the plant access to more cost-effective fuel sources, enabling it to keep a town of 50,000 residents warm through harsh Nordic winters. ❄️

For flexibility, the line has a two-stage shredding process. Pre-shredding and fine-shredding work together to give operators fast control over output fraction size.

By adjusting shredder programs and screen sizes, the plant can quickly switch between coarser and finer material, adapting to changing fuel quality and market availability.

The result is a highly versatile biofuel line capable of processing almost every fuel type available on the market.

This line processes 30 tons of municipal solid waste per hour and 7 tons of packaging waste per hour, which adds up to 45,000 tons per year.

Unlike traditional waste sorting plants, Eco Baltia’s line avoids intensive shredding and instead utilizes adaptive equipment and advanced optical sorting technologies.

A new line that tripled the sorting capacity! 📈

In 2022, we designed and developed this Plastic Packaging waste and Waste Paper sorting line. One of the challenges was to improve the sorting capacity while fitting the new line into the existing building.

Through some innovative design solutions, we concluded with a flexible layout that optimized space utilization without the need for additional construction. During the engineering process, we also had to make sure that the new line could also withstand future material inputs and hiring capacities.

It was important that we dimension each piece of equipment accordingly, not only the theoretical volumes that we had gotten from the client, but we needed to estimate what could be the maximum amount at some certain point of time that the machine needed to withstand.

When our team first saw the material description, we were surprised by the amount of glass inside it. Instead of picking it out, we decided to break it with a special screen.

Unfortunately, the machine for separating glass didn’t fit in the building, so we had to extend it to the outside of the building. This is not an issue though, as the machine can reliably work also during the winter months.

This household waste recycling center turns packaging waste into 10 different materials.

It's a compact yet high-capacity sorting system, optimising every metre of available floor space. The line integrates a drum screen, optical sorters, eddy current separators, and magnetic separators into a seamless flow.

The line is controlled by a SCADA system that provides operators with a visual overview, tracks performance and power use, and supports better real-time decision-making.

This facility can efficiently process 25 tonnes of heavy-duty construction and demolition waste per hour. This adds up to about 50,000 tons of waste every year.

When designing the line, the goal was to create a more energy-efficient system that also improves output quality. To achieve this, the line now includes a shredder-less system and an intelligent absorber for vibrating screens.

Here's a quick overview of a waste wood shredding line we designed, engineered, and installed in Norway:

✅ Fully installed and commissioned in three weeks, with zero production downtime thanks to a parallel temporary processing line.

✅ The line handles up to 35 tonnes per hour (depending on material composition), reaching an annual volume of 90,000 tonnes of waste wood.

✅ It consistently delivers ISO P63-standard wood chips, suitable for both energy recovery and high-grade material reuse, including furniture manufacturing.

Ragn-Sells set out to achieve two major improvements with its existing sorting line:

❇️ Increase plastic and paper sorting capacity by more than two times
❇️ Incorporate packaging waste sorting into the existing process

Together, we delivered a solution designed to expand capacity and improve sorting capability without starting from scratch.
