Depackaging Systems

Depackaging Systems for Sustainable Solutions

Depackaging involves separating products from their packaging for recycling, waste management, or product recovery. It’s crucial for managing rejected, recalled, damaged, returned, or expired products.

This process is increasingly popular as it allows the extraction of valuable materials from packaged food, organic, and liquid products. These materials can then be repurposed through recycling, reuse, bio-energy generation, or sustainable disposal, driven by technological advancements, consumer demand for sustainability, and industry investments.

In Australia, regulations like the National Packaging Targets push companies to adopt sustainable waste management practices, with depackaging systems as an ideal solution.

Consumer preferences for sustainable products also drive the adoption of depackaging systems. Waste Initiatives offers tailored solutions with shredders, depackaging units, crushers, compactors, and sorting systems. Contact our specialists to learn more.

Key Components of Our Depackaging Systems

BIN LIFTERS / IN-FEED HOPPERS

Essential for safe and efficient waste handling, these components help load waste into the system through bin lifters or directly into in-feed hoppers.

CONVEYORS

Configurable in various ways, conveyors transport waste efficiently through the system, utilising infeed and outfeed setups.

SCREW AUGERS

Screw augers transport and break up bulky waste, with the option to drain liquid, before entering the shredder or granulator system.

SCREW AUGER -NEW

Paddle Depackers

The Mavitec Paddle Depacker efficiently separates packaging from organic material, reducing waste volume and producing biogas-ready matter with low power consumption and minimal noise.

SHREDDERS

Our industrial shredders cater to various needs: Single Shaft for high-volume, Dual Shaft for heavy-duty, and Four Shaft for consistent size control.

GRANULATORS

Used secondary to shredders or standalone for finer size reduction down to 3mm. The smaller the screen size, the slower the processing time.

SEPARATING/SORTING EQUIPMENT

Our systems use air, optical, magnetic, and eddy separators, with options like discharge pumps, air conveying units, and pick stations for cleaner waste streams.
