VSR - Disc separator

High-performance and flexible screening solution for use in biomass and waste processing

With our disc separators you can separate overlengths from sorted and abrasive material, depending on the design. It can be used for the efficient screening of: Bark, green waste, wood or even dry stabilised material as well as household and commercial waste. Due to the segmental design, the screen length and capacity can be adapted to the specific capacity. The material is optimally fed via a horizontal conveyor belt.

Advantages at a glance

  • High screening capacities with lowest energy consumption, low operating and maintenance costs
  • Extremely reliable, hundreds of times in use 
  • Separation cuts between 30-500 mm can be selected according to task specifications
  • Solid sectional steel construction with good accessibility for maintenance and inspection work
  • Low maintenance due to automatic lubricators, central lubrication optionally available 
  • Flexible bearing of the wear-resistant discs to avoid blockades
  • Optimally adapted shaft diameter as winding protection 

Convince yourself of our flexibility in the implementation of your requirements.

All

Residual wood

Vecoplan equipment is specialized in processing this material into wood chips and then making it available as a raw material for the paper and board industry, for pellet production or as fuel for wood-burning systems.

Waste wood

The processing of waste wood transforms wood waste of various types into a valuable secondary raw material. Besides the recovery of materials, efficient energy recovery is becoming increasingly important as a renewable energy source.

Bark

Bark can be thermally recycled as fuel and further processed into bark mulch or bark litter.

Wood chips

Wood chips are used in the manufacture of chipboard and medium-density fibre (MDF) boards. They are also used as fuel in heating plants, in combined heat and power plants and in gardening and landscaping.

Wood and milling chips

Planing and milling chips are usually reground and then used as insulation material or, for example, in the production of pellets.

Paper industry waste

Braids, spits, bears or fibre residues are the recyclable residues in paper recycling. The technical jargon under the collective term: pulper waste. As a leading specialist for shredding technology, we know what is important in this application. Pulper waste is diverse. The plastic it contains can be used thermally. The metal wires but also existing non-ferrous metal can be reused as recycling material.

Domestic waste

Residual waste is optimally handled by shredding it in mechanical-biological waste treatment plants (MBT) and separating the various recyclable materials from each other. Another use of residual waste is thermal utilisation in a waste incineration plant. The heat released is used both to generate electricity and to provide heat.

Lightweight packaging

Increasing the recycling rate of packaging with the aim of recycling more valuable materials than before is a key issue in the circular economy. In order to efficiently recycle the packaging collected in bags, this waste must be continuously and reliably sorted.

Bulky waste

Bulky waste chiefly includes discarded furniture, mattresses, wallpaper remnants and old carpets. Nowadays, most bulky waste can be recycled for materials and energy.

Industrial waste

Commercial municipal waste (also abbreviated to commercial waste) is municipal waste from sources other than private households, in particular commercial and industrial waste as well as waste from private and public institutions. This waste is similar to waste from private households due to its nature or composition and must be disposed of in the same way.

However, commercial municipal waste also includes other production-specific waste from other sources, such as workshop waste, cleaning rags containing mineral oil, paint buckets or non-infectious waste, leather waste, metal waste, including shavings from metalworking and metal processing.

Domestic waste

Typical residual waste from households offers little potential for material recycling. However, in the cement industry, the high-calorific fractions from the waste can be used as an alternative fuel. RDF manufacturers filter out these fractions by shredding and separating them.

Bulky waste

Largely homogeneous RDFs with good combustion and low pollutant properties can be produced, even from bulky waste.

Industrial waste

The non-recyclable materials from waste generated in industry and commerce can be processed into RDFs and used in power plants or the cement industry.

Used tyres

Rubber is a versatile material due to its properties. The best known and largest product in terms of volume is the tyre. In addition to thermal recycling as substitute fuel, for example in cement plants, used tyres can also be recycled, e.g. the granulate obtained can be used for a wide variety of floor coverings.

Rubber and rubber residues

Natural rubber is the basis of all rubber products and is a valuable natural raw material, so the aim here is to achieve the highest possible recycling rate through material recovery. However, the parts that cannot be further processed can still be used as an adequate fuel in cement production.

Sorting residues

In sorting plants for light packaging (LVP), the packaging items pass through various packaging items pass through various stations, at each of which a specific fraction of the material is sorted out of the material flow. Pressed into bales, the individual material fractions are then sent for recycling. Waste designation Sorting residues: Sorting residues from facilities for sorting lightweight packaging, so-called DSD sorting residues. These can be processed into alternative fuels in substitute fuel processing plants.

Waste wood, used wood

Wood waste or even old pallets can be used as a renewable raw material for energy production. Effective processing is essential to produce a waste-based RDF.

Biomass

Residual materials are chiefly used as solid biogenic fuels – in other words, biomass that is hardly suitable for purposes other than incineration. For example, these materials include forest and industrial residual wood, waste wood, garden and park waste and straw.
