Greek waste management company Helector S.A.. has installed 12 automated waste sorting machines from industry leader TITECH at its new plant in Larnaca, Cyprus.

Believed to be the most modern municipal solid waste (MSW) plant in the world, it was constructed by German plant manufacturer Eggersmann. Thanks to TITECH’s sensor-based sorting systems the plant is able to sort 40 tonnes of waste per hour.

TITECH’s systems were specified by Helector S.A.. to enable the rapid recovery of recyclable materials including PET, PE-film, PE-HD,PP and paper across the plant’s mixed waste streams.

Tom Eng, TITECH’s global marketing director, said: “Helector’s Larnaca plant is an outstanding waste management facility and we are especially pleased that our sorting systems are being utilised there. We have worked closely with the Helector team to ensure the operational efficiency of our systems at the plant and we are looking forward to further developing our strong relationship with them.”

As well as the automated sorting plant, the Larnaca site also comprises an area for the treatment of biodegradeable waste found in the MSW flow and a landfill site.
