Today is Limusa facilities in the city of Lorca is in Barranco Hondo approximately 40% of the 63,000 tons of MSW that come annually.
The first phase is over a surface area of ​​20,000 square meters in a different location to that occupied by the current line, in operation since 1999.
Of its features worth highlighting the ability to triage new trommel thanks to 80 millimeters thick to let the organic matter, which is a product designed to get more refined and pure compost.
The cabins are air conditioned and work perfectly lit, able to accommodate up to 20 workers making improper separation of duties, so that you can recover bulky, cardboard and steel in a first stage, and HDPE, PET, and glass bricks mainly in the second.
In every line there are two magnets that filter the metal content of waste for recovery later separately.
