Turnkey Operation for Large "Bottle to Bottle" Recycling Facilities

At Rabin our services extend beyond auction and liquidation sales as we recognize that this is not always the best strategy to realize value for our clients.  Certain facilities already have a proven, successful business model, intellectual property and experienced employees and merely require investment of capital and the right professional management.  In these situations, the optimal solution is to sell the operation through a turnkey process. 

Currently we have listed just such a turnkey opportunity from one of the world’s largest “bottle to bottle" recycling facilities (Formerly of a Fortune 500 Company).  Previously the operation had produced 100 million pounds per year of food-grade recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic for reuse, the equivalent of nearly 2 billion 20-oz. plastic water bottles.  

Located in Spartanburg, N.C., this large operation includes a 35-acre parcel with a 50,000 sq. ft. recycled process building that has 20’ ceilings as well as a 60,000 sq. ft. final process production building.  Both of the buildings are complete with separate office space, a compressed air supply and their own maintenance area.  The facilities had a total of $60 million invested in them since 2008.

A brief sampling of equipment includes a Bollegraah bottle recycling system with Titech model 1400 & 2000 color & metal sorters, West Salem bale breaker with bottle cap eliminator, Selco-Green Machine final waste baler with aluminum can and waste plastic recovery bins.  Other featured items are color & metal sort decks that include: Satake ScanMaster-II color sort machines as new as 2010, PowerSort 200 optical scanner, complete metal sort deck with (16) S+S metal detectors, plus Forsberg de-stoners, stainless infeed and crossover feed screws.

The facilities equipment consists of a new (unused) waste water system with Centrisys decanter centrifuge, RO skid and stainless settling tanks.  Also Quincy 300 hp air compressors, Cummins emergency gen set, and material handling trucks along with maintenance shop.
