MRF - Material Recovery Facility. A site for sorting and separating
rubbish and solid waste collected from sources such as households,
commercial and industrial businesses. In material recovery, the MRFs
primary function is performed by physically removing designated
materials such as plastics, fibers, metals, and glass from the solid
waste stream. As materials are sorted into individual products groups,
other materials, such a "Green Waste", i.e. wood, lawn, hedge, and tree
trimmings, are diverted in bulk form to other locations for use in
compost making processes. The reclaimed products are baled and sold to
secondary materials processors throughout the world. MRFs provide other
environmental services by reducing the amount of waste going to
landfills.
Modern MRFs, particularly those located in large industrialized
metropolitan areas, may be designed to process over 1,000 tons of
material every day. Depending upon the type of amount of waste being
processed, they can include highly automated and sophisticated
functions. MRFs in less densely populated rural areas, usually
processing 100 tons or less of waste per day, are smaller operations
with simpler designs. However, the majority of MRFs in the United
States actually lay somewhere in between, processing several hundred
tons of material per day.
Enterprise Company, as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) designs
both the facilities and equipment for every type of MRF system using
state-of-the-art technology. All equipment is built in our own
manufacturing facilities located in Santa Ana, California. This allows
us to control and respond to every aspect of manufacturing, from design
and fabrication to installation and service. This also enhances our
ability to deliver on time and within budget. Our design team
professionals are never limited to pre-conceived approaches in design
or development of any type of system. These important differences set
us apart from our competition. When these advantages are combined with
our decades of world wide experience, it is easy to understand how we
earned the title of "best" in the industry.
