The €1.6m Installation will create a new co-mingled (DMR) facility at its
IGF Reykjavík site designed to process up to 16000 tonnes of waste per year. This
upgrade will now offer 4 tph which will improve the current sorting line capacity and
introduce new technologies and automated processes. The new facility will continue
to accept waste from its existing customers and will also enable IGF to expand its
public and private sector business across Iceland.
Improvements to the upgraded DMR will allow it to process and recover Curbside
collected material to be separated into its recyclable fractions – News and Pams –
Cardboard – Mixed Plastic Bottles – Ferrous and Non Ferrous Cans.
Commenting, IGF Jón Þórir Frantzson said: “We are proud to announce our plans to further
automate and upgrade our facility in Reykjavik . This will ensure we can fully maximize its
capacity to further support customers’ recycling objectives and play our part in achieving
our goals of Íslenska Gámafélagið which is to be a leader in the field of waste, ie. in waste
management, recycling and reuse throughout Iceland. We provide our clients with reliable
environmental services and create value from by-products by using our know-how and
technological solutions. This way, we promote the circular economy and prevent waste. Our
new DMR processing line from Turmec is a great improvement in that journey
Paul Godfrey – Technical Sales Manager Turmec, said: “We’re delighted to be working with
IGF to install its new DMR processing line . This project will involve implementing the latest
technology Consisting of a dosing drum for the metered feeding of the lose material, a pre
sort picking cabin for the removal of unopened bags and large items, an OCC Screen to
scalp of the cardboard, Overband magnet for the removal of Ferrous metals, an ONP screen
to liberate the 2d Fraction from 3d fraction prior to being sent to their final picking cabin for
QC inspection before collating the separated material into their designated bays before
baling
