Special applications

Special materials require special processing technologies

Away from use-and-throw-away, towards re-using, multiple use and passing on. Despite the steadily increasing amount of waste, we must manage to use our resources sensibly and sustainably. This also applies to some unusual materials that are not necessarily thought of for recycling, such as aluminium foil, carbon, diapers, drywool.

One of the most important components at the very beginning of every reprocessing is the shredder. The diverse materials have a wide variety of mechanical and thermal properties. The input materials have different degrees of soiling and are sometimes heavily contaminated with tramp material. 

Here are some example pictures:

Choosing the right shredder guarantees process stability: high continuous throughput, homogeneous grain sizes with lowest share of fines and oversizes. But also, the upstream or downstream conveying and storage systems also contribute to an optimal processing plant. Vecoplan configures a perfectly coordinated concept for you and the most diverse materials.

Nothing is more convincing than the evidence. We provide this at our location in Bad Marienberg through testing possibilities with up to 100 different machine configurations.

In order to be able to close loops, it is important to offer customised solutions for the most diverse materials to be processed with their different characteristics. One component that is often underestimated in this process is at the very beginning of every recycling process: the shredder. The right choice is a guarantee for process stability: high continuous throughput, homogeneous particle size distribution with low dispersion; the basis for problem-free further processing.

Our team consists of absolute specialists. These include application engineers, mechanical engineers, sales professionals and project managers.
We bundle a great deal of technical know-how and extensive personal experience - with this we support you competently and purposefully.
