Andela Glass Cullet Cleaning System
This system has been designed for Material Recovery Facility (MRF) glass that is to be cleaned and ready to ship to a glass recycling company that will color sort and process it back into bottles or one that will process it into fiberglass. The system includes Andela Trommel screening with a paper blower or air density separation. 3 phase power and between 15 - 30 HP is required.
MRF glass should go under a magnet to remove major ferrous steel, but can include broken glass, flattened metals, plastics, and shredded paper.
The outputs will be:
- Fines – fine glass and other debris less than 3/8".
- Cullet - broken glass between 3/8" and 2" with some paper, small plastics, and caps.
- Overs - primarily non-glass larger than 2" comprised of plastic bottles, cardboard, large metals, etc.
The markets for the outputs:
- Fines - with further processing and cleaning can be turned into local sand substitute.
- Cullet - ship to a glass recycling company for further processing, but not clean enough to go directly to a bottle or fiberglass manufacturing company.
- Overs - can be put back through the recycling system to recover any plastics or metals value.
Andela Glass Pulverizer Cleaning System
This system has been designed for MRF glass to be reduced into a clean sand or aggregate and used locally. System capacities vary from 5 to 20 Tons/Hour. 3 phase power between 20 - 60 HP is required depending on the system design. This Andela Pulverizer System includes a hopper, pulverizer, trommel screen, blower/density separation, and conveyors.
MRF glass should be prepared under a magnet to remove major ferrous steel, but can include broken glass, flattened metals, plastics, and shredded paper.
The outputs will be:
- Glass sand - less than 4 mesh (3/16”) without sharp edges. Meets specifications for regular construction sand.
- Glass Aggregate - between 3/16" - 1/2" in size. Rounded edges. Output can be re-circulated to make all sand, or blower/density cleaned to make gravel.
- Overs - primarily non-glass larger than 1/2" consisting of plastics, paper, metals, etc.
Andela selective reduction technology reduces the glass into sand but leaves the non-glass in a larger form that exits the end of the system as "Overs"
The markets for the outputs:
- Glass Sand - meets specifications for all types of sand. Rounded edges, clean of non-glass debris.
- Glass Aggregate - can be automatically re-circulated to make all sand or used as gravel for construction or landscaping.
- Overs - can be put back through the recycling system to recover any oversized glass. Plastics and metals may be further separated for other markets.

Glass Cullet Cleaning, Paper Blower
Engineered to remove paper fluff and bottle labels this air knife style separation is a great addition to any glass recycling system.
Glass Pulverizer Cleaning System, Density Separation
This type of glass clean up system separates lights from heavies. Less dense material such as paper, crushed pieces of plastic, pieces of wire and other "pointy" contaminants head to the trash chute. Clean ready to use glass discharges on the opposite side.
Glass Clean Up Unit
The Andela Glass Clean-up Unit is designed to separate glass cullet from paper and other residue using our proprietary equipment/process. our Glass Clean-up unit features easy access panels and hand adjustments to achieve the desire output. Cullet and Residue can discharged into tip-bins, conveyors or bunkers and can be integrated into your currently existing system.
