OREZ was engaged for design coordination services on Living Earth’s new FOGO screening line in New Zealand.

Orez was commissioned by Living Earth to design and deliver an organics screening line at Puketutu Island, near Auckland, New Zealand. The system needed to integrate with existing infrastructure and utilize obsolete conveyors, thus advancing the concept of recycling.

The system features a 15m3 feed hopper equipped with dosing rollers, which de-compacts the organics to ensure a consistent feed rate. Before entering a 7.8-meter-long drum screen, the material passes through a ferrous magnet to remove any metallic contaminants.

The fine material (0-15mm) is screened out and deposited into a storage bay directly beneath the drum screen to minimize double handling. The oversized material is directed to an existing windsifter to remove light plastics before being deposited into the oversize stockpile.
