Andela Glass Cleaning System
Andela Glass Crushing/Pulverizing Cleaning System
Our cleaning system transforms Material Recovery Facility (MRF) glass* into clean sand and aggregate/cullet while simultaneously separating ferrous metal, aluminum, and residual plastics/paper. *MRF glass includes broken glass, flattened metals, plastics, and shredded paper.
Capacities range from 5 to 20 tons per hour. Cleaning systems can include a hopper, pulverizer/crusher, conveyors, trommel screen, and blower/density separation unit.
The outputs are:
Glass Sand: Less than 4 mesh (3/16") with no sharp edges. Meets specifications for standard C-33 construction sand.
Glass Aggregate: Between 3/16" - 1/2" in size. The output can be re-circulated to produce all sand or cleaned via blower/density separation to create gravel/cullet. The output has rounded edges and can be used as aggregate, or as mixed glass cullet for further processing into bottles or fiberglass.
Trommel Output: For added value, process under a magnet and through an Eddy Current Separator to remove ferrous metals and aluminum.
Residual Material: Includes smaller paper fluff and small plastics removed by the density separator, along with larger plastics and non-glass material left at the end of the system.
Andela’s selective reduction technology breaks the glass into rounded-edged sand and cullet but leaves non-glass residuals in a larger form, which exits the system as "Overs."
Markets for the outputs:
Glass Sand: Meets specifications for C-33 construction sand. It has rounded edges and is free of non-glass debris.
Glass Aggregate or Cullet: Can be re-circulated to make all sand, used as gravel for construction/landscaping, or sold to a glass processor for upcycling into bottles, or a fiberglass manufacturer.
Overs: Plastics and metals can 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.
