Marion Resource Recycling selects BHS

The Marion Resource Recycling Facility LLC (MRRF), Salem, Oregon, has selected Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), Eugene, Oregon to supply its new material recovery facility (MRF) for construction and demolition (C&D) debris. The system, scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of 2021, will be able to process more than 70 tons per hour and capture more than 90 percent of inbound material for reuse, according to a news release issued by BHS.

BHS says it has included advanced air separation technology from its Amsterdam-based subsidiary Nihot in the system’s design. The Nihot DDS Windshifter employs circulated air technology to separate materials into three fractions based on density. At MRRF, it will recover aggregates and wood from less-dense materials. The system also features the BHS Total Intelligence Platform to provide centralized system control and performance data.

“We are thrilled to invest in a system of this caliber,” says MRFF General Manager Kevin Hines. “It’s going to be a tremendous asset for years to come not only to our company but [also] to our partners, haulers, customers and community stakeholders. Recycling in Marion County is about to get a major upgrade, and we couldn’t be happier partnering with Bulk Handling Systems—we look forward to hitting the on switch next year,” he adds.

“It has been a pleasure working with the MRRF team,” BHS CEO Steve Miller says. “BHS truly appreciates MRRF’s trust and partnership—this facility is designed for high-performance C&D recycling and will support their long-term success.”
