Smart Regulation: Insights from LELY Environnement

To replace a sorting line that had been in operation for more than 20 years, LELY Environnement called on AKTID to design and build a new sorting facility in Saint-Quentin-sur-Isère (38). The facility addresses the growing challenges of processing and recovering waste from economic activities and the construction sector. Comprising two sorting lines adapted to different incoming waste streams, it was designed to improve material recovery and optimize the site’s performance.

To support the operation of the facility and ensure consistent line performance, AKTID integrated Smart Regulation, one of its Aktid Smart Solutions®. This solution automatically adjusts the process feed to fluctuations in incoming waste streams.

Why regulate flow variations?

In a sorting facility, incoming waste streams are constantly changing, with varying volumes and compositions. These fluctuations can disrupt equipment feeding, cause slowdowns or lead to blockages that may impact the facility’s performance.
To address this issue, Smart Regulation automatically adjusts the feed rate according to variations in the incoming waste stream. The aim is to maintain a more consistent feed to the equipment and ensure smoother operation of the sorting line.

A solution designed to support operations teams

How does Smart Regulation fit into the day-to-day operation of a sorting facility? What benefits do teams observe in the field? And how does the solution make it easier to manage fluctuations in incoming waste streams?

To answer these questions, Inoval’Y’s Operations Manager shares his experience of using the solution at LELY Environnement’s new sorting facility.

Smart Regulation results in far fewer stoppages. We are able to run continuously, maintain high-quality output and, over the course of the day, we can really see a gain in production.

Controlled flow for optimized performance

By providing greater control over flow management, Smart Regulation simplifies the day-to-day operation of the facility and helps optimize its performance.

The solution helps to:

  • maintain a consistent feed to the equipment;
  • limit disruptions caused by fluctuations in incoming waste streams;
  • reduce the risk of slowdowns and blockages;
  • improve equipment availability;
  • facilitate sorting operations in the sorting cabin;
  • increase recovery rates and the quality of outgoing materials.
