At the request of our customers, we embarked on the challenge of creating the MRF of the Future. Our response was the development of a non-wrapping machine that disrupts the traditional MRF design flow and eliminates the need for presorting.
Central to this innovation is our patented OCC Auger Screen, specifically engineered to target mid to large-sized OCC (Old Corrugated Cardboard) and produce a clean end product. This system utilizes patented high-agitation augers to achieve optimal results.
Each shaft of the OCC Auger Screen is a self-cleaning, rotating screw that effectively removes wrapping material, ensuring durability and low maintenance. With minimal downtime and cleaning required, this system offers enhanced efficiency and reliability.
By placing the OCC Auger Screen in front of a traditional presort, hazardous materials such as sharps and needles are directed to the unders fraction, bypassing manual sorters. This not only creates a safer working environment but also streamlines the sorting process, contributing to overall efficiency.
The old way of designing a MRF. Overburdened, high material depth, unsafe workspace, many sorters needed, and a typical system bottleneck. No machines before the sorters.
The new innovative MRF design. Decreased material burden depth, less sorters needed, and improved worker safety. The machine is before any sorters.
The National Waste and Recycling Association named CP Group the 2022 Innovator of the Year for the patented OCC Auger Screen. The award recognizes “recycling equipment designers and manufacturers that successfully challenge and advance recycling sector operations. It celebrates innovation in design and manufacturing that increases the effectiveness or efficiency of recycling equipment and operations”.

“CP Group’s OCC Auger Screen has been a great addition to our operation. This machine does an exceptional job at producing a clean stream of OCC at an efficient pace with minimal downtime and cleaning necessary. The folks at CPG have been great to work with through this process and we will definitely work with them again for future projects”
