Recycling & Material Recovery Equipment

See the problem. Call RTS.

From removing tramp metal and recovering saleable fractions to feeding sorting lines and containing dust, RTS helps Canadian recyclers find equipment for more consistent material handling and recovery.

Discuss My ApplicationExplore All Equipment

Applications across: Material Recovery Facilities • Plastics Recycling • Scrap Processing • Construction & Demolition Recycling • Glass Recycling • Wood Recovery • Industrial Waste RecoveryMaterials we handle: Mixed recyclables, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastic flakes and regrind, glass, crushed concrete, recovered wood, fines, and suitable industrial residues.

Remove tramp metal and recover value

Remove unwanted metal before it damages shredders or contaminates recovered material.

Equipment: Permanent and electromagnetic overhead magnets, magnetic head pulleys, drum magnets, and metal detectors; eddy current separators for suitable non-ferrous recovery duties.

Sort materials and improve recovery

Separate suitable material fractions to improve recovered-product consistency and value.

Equipment: AI optical belt and chute sorters for suitable materials, selected around particle size, presentation, colour or sensor response, contamination, and the required recovered fractions.

Screen out lumps and oversize

Remove fines and oversize that interfere with separation and downstream handling.

Equipment: Grizzly, scalping, classifying, and dewatering screens for suitable recovered-material streams.

Feed and dose at the right rate

Present a steadier flow to magnets, sorters, screens, and downstream equipment.

Equipment: Volumetric and gravimetric feeders, screw feeders, vibratory feeders, rotary airlocks, and gate & diverter valves.

Move material through the plant

Move recovered fractions and fines between processing, storage, and loadout.

Equipment: Screw conveyors, vibratory conveyors, and bucket elevators for suitable recovered bulk materials. Review particle size, fibrous content, abrasion, and moisture.

Get bins and hoppers flowing

Address bridging and uneven discharge in bins handling regrind, fines, or recovered bulk material.

Equipment: Bin activators, Air Sweeps, vibrators, vibratory feeders, and live bottom screws, selected for the material and hopper conditions.

Capture dust at the source

Reduce dust escaping from transfer points, screens, and recovered-material handling.

Equipment: Dust collectors, bin vents, dust collector retrofits, cyclones, filter receivers, scrubbers, and severe-duty cyclones, selected for the material and exhaust duty.

Move process air and ventilate

Move process air and address dusty or corrosive exhaust conditions.

Equipment: FRP centrifugal fans, axial fans, blowers, silencers, and custom acoustic enclosures, selected for the airflow, pressure, temperature, and exhaust composition.

Know when bins and tanks are full

Avoid overfilled bins and unexpected shortages in recovered-material storage.

Equipment: Point level switches and continuous level sensors and transmitters for bulk solids in bins and silos, and liquids in tanks and vessels.

Fill bulk bags cleanly and accurately

Package suitable recovered granules and powders with less dust and more consistent weights.

Equipment: Bulk bag fillers, bulk bag loading connectors, weighing systems, dust extraction, and filling arrangements for bulk boxes and drums.

Stop leaks at transfer points

Reduce leaking sleeves and dusty transfer connections on enclosed handling systems.

Equipment: BFM snap-in fittings, spigots, blanking caps, weighing bellows, flexible hoppers, breather socks, and Siftex sleeves and connectors, selected for the material and operating conditions.

Load bulk transport with less dust

Transfer suitable bulk fractions into transport while reducing dust and spillage.

Equipment: Retractable loading spouts, dust-control loading arrangements, gates, diverters, and associated conveying equipment for suitable truck, railcar, ship, and stockpile duties.

Prevent freezing and maintain temperature

Protect exposed process-water and utility lines from freezing.

Equipment: Britech heat trace cables, temperature controls, sensors, and accessories, selected for the pipe, insulation, temperature, and site conditions.

Address combustible dust hazards

Review protection where handled dusts or recovered materials are combustible.

Equipment: Explosion vents, flameless venting, suppression, and isolation systems. RTS can coordinate a dust hazard analysis (DHA) and application review with specialist partners.

Coordinate equipment and startup

Coordinate equipment additions and retrofits around the existing recovery line.

Support: Application review, equipment selection, supplier coordination, installation planning, commissioning assistance, troubleshooting, and DHA coordination with specialist partners where relevant.

Match the Equipment to Your Application

Feed composition, particle size, bulk density, moisture, belt width and speed, throughput, contamination, target recovered fractions, and dust characteristics.

Send a photo, sketch, or layout if available. We coordinate with manufacturers to review suitable equipment, available testing, and the requirements of your selected configuration.
