Compare the six families
The RECYNEX range covers compact public return points, a standard bottle-and-can station, storage-led and specialist configurations, and an operator-led batch path. Each family serves a different operating context. Use the comparison below to select a configuration, then confirm capacity and accepted packaging for your site.
| Family | Best starting point | Intake and operator model | Confirm before a quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | Small staffed indoor site | One-item public bottle-and-can return | Floor and service space; collection interval |
| One | Retail or campus point | One-item public bottle-and-can return | Approved packaging and visitor flow |
| Max | Busier indoor point | One-item public return with larger holding plan | Peak mix and safe full-bin removal |
| Outdoor | Exposed public approach | One-item public return after site qualification | Shelter, weather exposure, power and fault response |
| Glass | Defined glass-bottle scheme | Specialist glass return | Refill or cullet destination and breakage handling |
| Bulk | Back-of-house facility | Staffed batch intake | Material mix, sorting and reconciliation |
What a useful proposal specifies
Each proposal identifies the selected configuration, approved sample set, site requirements, equipment tests and operating roles. It separates the machine from software access, integration, installation, training, transport and support. Numerical dimensions, capacity, throughput and environmental ratings are attached to the exact configuration and test conditions—not inferred from product imagery.
If you already operate an app or reporting platform, ask for equipment and a qualified event interface rather than assuming a platform replacement. A site type and the decision you need to make are enough for an initial quote request; use the selection guide if you want to prepare more detail.
