Current technology does not yet exist for the mechanical sorting of the variety of plastics available.

The "mechanical" element is usually an automated mechanical sorting stage.

Activities such as crushing, shredding, or mechanical sorting of material would be considered as processing.

MHT involves a mechanical sorting or pre-processing stage with technology often found in a material recovery facility.

We wanted to find something to do with this material, so we are separating everything out with flotation tanks and mechanical sorting machines.

Crossbar switches are commonly used in information processing applications such as telephony and circuit switching, but they are also used in applications such as mechanical sorting machines.

A notation is a code commonly used in classification schemes to represent a class, i.e. a subject and its position in the hierarchy, to enable mechanical sorting and filing of subjects.

MBT is also sometimes termed BMT - biological mechanical treatment - however this simply refers to the order of processing, i.e. the biological phase of the system precedes the mechanical sorting.

Mechanical sorting of mixed waste streams combined with anaerobic digestion or in-vessel composting, is called mechanical biological treatment, increasingly used in developed countries due to regulations controlling the amount of organic matter allowed in landfills.
