MODULAR AUTOMATED INSTALLATION FOR SEPARATE WASTE COLLECTING

IN THE CONTEXT OF A HIGHLY JUSTIFIED GLOBAL INTEREST TO COLLECT, RECYCLE AND REUSE WASTES FOR REDUCING NATURAL RESOURCES EXPLOITATION AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT, THIS STUDY PRESENTS THE INNOVATIVE CONCEPT OF A MODULAR FULLY AUTOMATED INSTALLATION FOR THE SEPARATE COLLECTING OF PLASTIC AND GLASS RECIPIENTS, ALUMINUM CANS, CARDBOARD, PAPER, LARGE AND SMALL ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. AUTOMATIZING THIS COLLECTING ACTIVITY ALLOWS RAISING THE RECOVERED QUANTI TY OF WASTES, DECREASING THE LOGISTICS COSTS, ELIMINATING POTENTIAL BOTTLENECKS IN CASE OF EQUIPMENT ERRORS, AND REDUCING AT MAXIMUM THE PRESENCE OF HUMAN OPERATORS. THE PROPOSED SOLUTION ENSURES A COLLECTING PROGRAM OF 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK. MODULARIZATION PROVIDES A FAST RECONFIGURATION OF THE INSTALLATION BASED ON THE RECYCLING STATISTICAL DATA SPECIFIC TO DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC ZONES REGARDING THE TYPE AND QUANTITY OF WASTES.
