MetroTaifun® is one of the world’s leading automatic waste collection systems, which enables automatic solid waste collection based on pneumatic conveying technology.

MetroTaifun® ensures cleanliness, safety, space and energy savings. The use of Automatic Waste Collection system increases waste sorting and recycling. Communal areas are safer without garbage truck traffic. In addition, odours, pests and emissions related to waste collection are minimized.

The system works like a giant vacuum cleaner: conveying waste & recyclables through underground/above-ground pipelines that can extend up to 4 km (2.5 miles) from the waste collection point. The system may include both residential waste collection stations and bigger commercial waste collection stations. The waste ends up in into containers in a waste transfer terminal: one pipe, multiple containers for different fractions.

The key in MetroTaifun is the small Ø300mm pipe: it enables fast and easy installation and energy consumption only 1/3 compared to traditional AWCS with Ø500mm pipe. The unique Formator technology reduces large waste sacks to fit into the small pipe.

MetroTaifun® is suitable for all applications including e.g. hospitals, residential areas, industrial areas, shopping centers, sports complexes, hybrid and mobile systems, hospitals, airports.
