B. Advantages of domestic waste sorting equipment:

Introduction Domestic waste sorting equipment plays a vital role in domestic waste treatment. Through the efficient separation and classification of different types of garbage, it has greatly promoted the recycling of resources and reduced environmental pollution. With the acceleration of urbanization, the problem of garbage disposal is becoming increasingly serious. How to efficiently and environmentally handle the growing waste has become the focus of attention of governments and all sectors of society. Against this background, domestic waste sorting equipment came into being and showed great advantages.

1. Strong processing capacity: large processing volume, suitable for large-scale urban domestic waste treatment needs, daily processing capacity can reach hundreds of tons or even more, meeting the fast-paced domestic waste generation speed in cities.

2. High resource recovery rate: These devices are usually used in combination in the garbage treatment process to form a multi-level and multi-dimensional sorting system, thereby maximizing the resource recovery rate and minimizing the impact on the environment. In summary, domestic waste sorting equipment has played an irreplaceable role in improving recycling efficiency, reducing landfill volume, protecting the environment, saving costs, and improving resource utilization, and has become an indispensable part of the modern waste treatment system. It can convert more than 50% of domestic waste into reusable resources, greatly reducing the proportion of landfill and incineration, which is of great significance to promoting the circular economy.

3. Significant economic benefits: Through resource recycling, economic value can be created, waste treatment costs can be reduced, and society's dependence on primary resources can be reduced, forming good economic and social benefits.

4. Strong adaptability: Whether it is mixed collection of domestic waste, kitchen waste or stale waste, it can be effectively treated to meet the treatment needs of different cities and different waste components.

5. Strong scalability: With the expansion of urban scale and technological advancement, the demand for waste treatment is also changing. The automated sorting system has good upgradeability and flexibility, and can adjust the production line configuration or add new functional modules according to actual conditions.

6. Data support decision-making: Intelligent sorting equipment is usually equipped with data collection and analysis functions, which can record various information in the processing process and provide data support for optimizing management processes and improving service quality.

7. Promote circular economy: By efficiently separating valuable materials, automatic sorting equipment lays the foundation for the development of circular economy, promotes resource reuse and sustainable development.

8. High processing efficiency: The introduction of domestic waste sorting equipment has greatly improved recycling efficiency. Traditional garbage disposal methods rely on a large amount of manual sorting, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient, and often leads to a large amount of recyclable materials being wasted. Modern domestic waste sorting equipment can automatically and efficiently separate different types of garbage, especially when dealing with large-scale garbage, the advantages of automated equipment are more obvious. Through advanced technical means, the equipment can accurately identify and separate recyclable materials such as metals, plastics, and paper, greatly reducing manual participation and making the entire recycling process more efficient.

9. Reduce workload: The application of domestic waste sorting equipment effectively reduces the amount of landfill. With the increasing shortage of landfill resources, reducing the amount of landfill has become an urgent task. By using sorting equipment, valuable materials in garbage can be separated and enter the recycling link, thereby reducing the amount of waste entering the landfill. This not only extends the service life of the landfill, but also reduces the occupation of land resources, which has significant environmental benefits.

10. Reduce environmental damage: Domestic waste sorting equipment also shows outstanding advantages in environmental protection. Mixed garbage often contains a large amount of harmful substances, such as unseparated batteries, chemicals, etc. If they are directly put into landfills or incineration plants, they will cause serious pollution to the soil, water sources and even the air. Through domestic waste sorting equipment, these harmful substances can be identified and properly handled in the early stages of treatment, reducing the threat to the environment. In particular, after sorting out recyclable materials such as plastics and metals, these materials can be prevented from releasing harmful substances due to incineration or landfill, which plays a positive role in protecting the ecological environment.

11. Reduce production costs: In terms of cost, domestic waste sorting equipment also shows significant economic advantages. Traditional garbage disposal relies on a large amount of human resources, while automated sorting equipment can significantly reduce labor costs, especially when dealing with complex or large-scale garbage, the cost advantage is more obvious. In addition, by recycling valuable materials such as metals and plastics, domestic waste sorting equipment can not only bring direct economic benefits to enterprises and society, but also save raw material procurement costs and indirectly enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises.

12. Provide resource utilization: The application of domestic waste sorting equipment improves resource utilization. Modern industrial society has a huge demand for resources, but the over-exploitation and waste of resources have put tremendous pressure on the environment and ecosystem. Through domestic waste sorting equipment, the recycling rate of waste can be effectively improved, so that materials that were originally regarded as garbage can return to the production chain and turn waste into treasure. This not only helps to reduce dependence on primary resources, but also provides strong technical support for the sustainable use of resources.

13. Rich optional equipment: Domestic waste sorting equipment is diverse in types and functions. Common equipment includes drum screening machines, air separators, magnetic separators, eddy current separators, optical separators and robot sorting systems. The drum screening machine uses a screen to classify the size of garbage, the wind separator uses aerodynamic principles to separate light garbage from heavy garbage, the magnetic separator is specifically used to separate ferromagnetic metals, and the eddy current separator is used to separate non-ferromagnetic metals. The optical separator uses advanced sensor technology to detect the material of the garbage and separate it through airflow. The robot sorting system combines machine vision and artificial intelligence technology to achieve fine identification and sorting of specific garbage.

PS: Domestic waste sorting equipment plays an indispensable role in promoting urban environmental protection and promoting green development with its high efficiency, intelligence and environmental protection characteristics and advantages. With the continuous advancement of technology, such equipment will become more intelligent and efficient in the future, contributing to the construction of a better ecological environment.
