Requirements
The CHP plant provides electricity for approx. 40,000 homes and is ready to feed hot water into a district heat network. To ensure that the power plant operates with maximum safety and efficiency, the fuel is subject to stringent performance overall process quality requirements in terms of purity and degree of size reduction.
Solution
Vecoplan has implemented a suitable plant with high output quality and maximum energy efficiency. All Vecoplan components in the Plevin waste wood processing plant are harmonised with each other in the overall process and designed for performance, efficiency and output quality. The centerpiece is the special VNZ type double-shaft shredder for the re-shredding of pre-shredded waste wood. In addition, there are extensive conveying and separation components.
Result
On the basis of leading recycling and shredding technology, a corresponding plant was designed, implemented quickly and placed in service. The entire plant is fully automatic and impresses, among other things, by its high energy efficiency and the minimization of fines production. Thus, the customer benefits from high-quality fire chips as output material.
Perfect waste wood processing by Vecoplan
Vecoplan® designed and implemented one of the most powerful and efficient waste wood recycling plants in Great Britain for R PLEVIN & SONS LTD. In Hazlehead, each year 150,000 t of waste wood is recycled into high-quality fuel wood chips with a minimum proportion of fine material for a nearby 30-MW combined heat and power plant.
We are happy with the overall result on every level. What fascinates us is the combination of reliability and performance. Vecoplan implemented a very stable high-tech solution for us, which has paid off.
From the start, we were able to work with Vecoplan very closely, constructively and in search of the best possible solution. The work and input we provided ourselves were brought together seamlessly thanks to good project management.
As our solution provider, Vecoplan has designed and implemented an optimised and complete system for us down to the very last detail. The shredding concept is a complete success in terms of output quality, performance and efficiency. We are very happy with the Vecoplan RDF processing plant. The system has been continuously reliable. The Vecoplan Live Service offers the best support for all ser-vice and maintenance work.
The chipboard industry needs material that meets strict quality criteria. With the complete solution from Vecoplan, we can reprocess large quantities of wood waste at an excellent quality – fast, reliably and energy efficiently.
Right from the start, our new plant works trouble-free. We are very satisfied with the Vecoplan solutions.
Vecoplan developed individual solutions for fuel feeding and the processing according to customer request. The system runs continuously and generates green energy.
As Engineering Manager, I was convinced that the slow speed re-shredding offered by Vecoplan, was key to minimising fines production. Vecoplan's solution is also incredibly efficient, thanks to their HiTorc-Drive technology. The entire plant is fully automated and can exceed the specified 60 tph.
For us as system operators, it is important that the system runs ... and it runs.
For us, the protection of the environment as well as the reduction of CO₂ emissions are not just empty phrases but determining factors. Due to Vecoplans conveying system the entire transport route of bark and chips could be relocated in lofty heights above the buildings and streets of Södra – and had been executed to our complete satisfaction.
The launch of the TDS V20 from the Terex & Vecoplan partnership is revolutionising the mobile shredding industry. The Vecoplan VNZ 200 XL H chamber offers the unique combination of medium speed shafts, an accurate cutting action, sizing screens and tramp material protection. Our customers are benefiting from one pass production and minimal fines creation, reducing running costs and maximising profits.
The highest priority in this project was to ensure that the specific requirements were met and that the system had a very high level of availability with low power consumption.
Vecoplan projects are always new and always different. Each project brings new challenges, experiences and insights. That's what makes it so exciting.
Vecoplan is one of the most innovative companies in the industry. This requires the will to perform, creativity and personal commitment from the employees every day. My job is to motivate the team to achieve top performance together. Vecoplan offers the best conditions for this, a high degree of appreciation and the necessary freedom to make a difference.
20 % of Vecoplan employees have been with the company for 20 years or more. Add to that young junior staff and colleagues who join us from other companies, and you have a healthy and effective personnel structure with which we can achieve a lot.
Vecoplan operates internationally - this gives us at service unit the opportunity to travel to different countries and meet a wide variety of people.
Application engineers at Vecoplan have to understand customer requirements and convert them into technical solutions - an exciting and demanding task that I enjoy.
