Everyone has a part to play in solving the waste diversion and resource recovery problem – Juno can help make you a part of the solution

Step 2

Bales of waste are cut and loaded into the Juno Clave. Once the door is closed, steam is added and the feedstock is cooked to ensure the material is sanitized. During the cooking process, paper fibers are separated from coatings and food contamination. After the cooking is complete, the Juno Clave door is opened and the entire contents of the vessel are discharged.

Step 3

The wash trommel processes all material that is sent through the Juno Clave. This step in the process is where paper fibers are recovered and sent to the paper mill to be turned back into paper and packaging materials.

Step 4

Ferrous metals are recovered during this step of the Juno Technology process. Generally, up to 5% of the incoming feedstock is ferrous metal, and the magnetic belt recovers these metals for future reuse.

Step 5

A dewatering press is used to reduce the moisture content of any rejects – materials that cannot be initially recovered. The press reduces the moisture content to 30%.

Step 6

The eddy current separator uses a powerful magnetic field to recover non-ferrous metals from the rejects. Before collecting the metals, a vibrating table liberates the recyclable materials, allowing for efficient recovery. Non-ferrous metals at this step in the process typically include aluminum, copper and die-cast metals.
