This waste sorting line had to handle heavy, irregular material continuously while supporting cleaner recovery and operational reliability.

The input material includes concrete, wood, plastics, and other construction and demolition waste fractions. With waste volumes increasing after changes in local environmental legislation, a reliable and efficient setup was required.

Azortum engineered a turnkey sorting line around these requirements.

A heavy-duty feeding conveyor transports the material to vibrating screens, where the waste is separated into distinct fractions for more controlled downstream processing. The screens are equipped with an intelligent absorber that uses compressed air to absorb vibration-induced shocks. This helps the line run more smoothly, reduces component wear, and lowers the load on the foundation.

From there, selected fractions are directed to air separators for finer cleaning, while others continue to manual quality control. This is especially important for stone fractions intended for reuse, where the goal is to clean the material thoroughly enough for use in road construction and underlayers.

The line also spreads oversized material above 180 millimeters evenly before manual sorting. This gives operators a clearer material flow and makes it easier to separate fractions into the right bins.

As a result, the facility can process up to 25 tonnes of mixed industrial waste per hour and aims to handle 50,000 tonnes annually.

Waste wood goes in. Consistent P63 chips come out.

The challenge with this shredding line was to balance three things at once:

🟢 Precision: producing a clean, consistent ISO P63 wood chip fraction, with fewer oversized pieces and less low-value fines.
🟢 Production: handling up to 35 tonnes per hour and 90,000 tonnes of waste wood annually.
🟢 Performance: keeping Norsk Gjenvinnings's operation running while the new line was installed directly next to the existing one.

This was accomplished by designing the process around control.

The line starts with primary shredding, followed by magnetic separation to remove ferrous metals. Screening captures the target fraction and returns oversized material for reprocessing. An eddy current separator removes remaining non-ferrous metals, leaving a cleaner output ready for downstream use.

By controlling shredding intensity and allowing operators to adjust screen hole sizes, the system reduces fines, protects material value, and helps maximize yield from every tonne of input material.

For NG, it means more predictable secondary raw material for energy recovery and material reuse, including furniture manufacturing.

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.

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.
