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. These are equipment directions, not interchangeable promises of capacity or material compatibility. Use the comparison below to identify what a supplier must validate for your site.
| Family | Intake and operator model | Decision that changes the configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | Focused public return at a compact staffed site | Available floor and service space; collection frequency |
| One | Everyday public bottle-and-can return | Approved packaging samples and visitor instructions |
| Max | Public return with a larger holding plan | Material mix, peak returns and removal interval |
| Outdoor | Public return near an exposed approach | Actual weather exposure, shelter, power and fault response |
| Glass | Dedicated glass handling | Refill or cullet destination, breakage and staff safety |
| Bulk | Staffed batch intake | Inbound mix, sorting, line flow 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. Send the site and packaging brief or use the selection guide.
