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.
