Requirements
In 2023, GID invested over 2.5 million euros in recycling technology at its Eschwege facility and expanded the site. Since the existing shredder was having difficulty processing nets, ropes, and plastic film, the company sought a new shredder that could better handle these challenges. Vecoplan was considered as a potential supplier.
Solution
Following our initial meeting at IFAT 2022, Matthias Henning (Managing Director of GID GmbH) outlined his requirements. We supplied a VIZ 1700 shredder and a VIZ 1300 for the two extruder lines to ensure that difficult-to-process waste can be shredded in the future, while simultaneously reducing electricity costs and CO2 emissions.
Result
GID uses Vecoplan’s shredding technology to process baled packaging waste, stretch film, ropes, and other waste materials. The VIZ 1700 and the smaller VIZ 1300 efficiently shred these materials, while a flat belt conveyor transports the material to the extruders. This has enabled GID to reduce energy costs, increase productivity, and process a wider range of materials.
