Komptech at eREC – Future-ready solutions with GREEN BOOST

Komptech is showing how waste handling and recycling companies can be ready for future requirements at eREC 2020, the first digital trade fair for the recycling industry. Among other things, Komptech will be showing the Crambo and Terminator shredders with new e-mobile power design, and the “Komptech Rental” options for boosting flexibility and economy in contract work.

“The waste industry is subject to very dynamic changes, with continually shifting requirements for companies. At eREC we want to show that we are extremely well prepared and can assist our customers with individual solutions,” says Komptech CEO Heinz Leitner. With “GREEN BOOST Your Business” as its slogan, Komptech offers the appropriate machines, outfitting and service models together in an all-in approach that goes beyond merely selling machines.

Shredders now with electric drive: Terminator and Crambo
The new e-mobile versions of the Terminator and Crambo shredders combine the advantages of stationary electrically operated systems, like no emissions and less noise, with the flexibility of mobile machines. The design allows for flexible indoor and outdoor use, and also enables the use of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels. The hydraulic system of the electric versions is powered by a highly efficient electric motor, which saves up to 70 percent of the energy costs for the same throughput. Komptech has driven the development of energy efficient machines for years, and offers an extensive selection of electrically powered star and drum screens.

Nemus 620 and Maxx 518 special models
With the special Nemus 620 and Maxx 518 models, Komptech offers drum screens for users looking for cost-effective, tough, powerful and low-cost machines for their original SM 620 and SM 518 screen drums. The Nemus is also excellent for screening heavy materials like stones, earth, soil and C&D recyclables. The Maxx’ simple handling makes it the perfect choice for medium-size and larger composting operations.

Komptech Rental as an alternative to machine buying
In addition to the new machines, at eREC 2020 Komptech is presenting its “Komptech Rental” business model. Users who need to cover demand spikes without high investments, want to try out new business fields, or want to test innovative technologies, can rent machines from Komptech. The rental term can extend from five working days to a year. “With Komptech Rental, companies can quickly and flexibly source a defined function without long-term commitment,” explains Heinz Leitner. Rental offerings comprise wood and universal shredders, screeners, wind sifters, stone separators and metal separators. Komptech’s product and process specialists help with the selection of suitable machines and application-specific equipment. Ongoing maintenance and spare parts supply are included in the rental fee.

TX1600 Shredder by Forrec is the new solution for the disposal of End-of-Life Tyres

Forrec has designed and produced TX1600: the new shredder for the disposal of End-of-Life Tyres.

ELTs (End-of-Life Tyres) Management has become a global issue and the correct disposal of this kind of solid waste has become more and more crucial. 

Forrec has designed and manufactured a complete system for the treatment of End-of-Life Tyres, which fulfills the new different requirements concerning the correct disposal of this kind of waste.

The plants developed by Forrec for scrap tyre recycling are zero impact systems, that allow to get a clean product ready to be employed as a second raw material for many contexts. 

TX1600 Shredder is one of the latest systems for tyre recycling designed by Forrec to respond to specific needs, without giving up productivity, which must never fall below 5 tons per hour for the treatment to be economically sustainable. The new TX1600 shredder is equipped with special “clean cut” blades which fulfill the problem of fraying the steel wire in the rubber of the tyre. TX1600 shredder is designed with particular attention to operating costs: low speed and high torque guarantee maximum performances with low consumption. A plant using the new TX1600 technology has already been supplied by Forrec to a customer in the United Arab Emirates.

Forrec designs and produces industrial plants and a wide range of shredders and grinders for the recycling and treatment of any type of solid waste: Weee, plastic, refrigerators, paper, MSW, wood, electric cables and motors, hospital waste, etc. Forrec team of technicians and professionals develops modular and tailor-made plants for waste disposal using increasingly advanced and environmentally-friendly technologies.

ESWET: Time to ensure sustainable waste shipments in Europe

ESWET welcomes the Commission’s initiative to carry out a revision of the Waste Shipment Regulation as a right step in the path of the European Green Deal. Proper waste management is a key aspect of the green transition.

Over the past decades, exports of waste to non-European countries have rose steadily, pushing the waste issue far away but failing to properly address it. Repeated abuses in international waste shipments have highlighted the need for Europe to take care of its waste under EU environmental standards.

For a pragmatic approach on the matter, ESWET releases today a policy briefing with a number of recommendations targeted at an efficient revision of the Waste Shipment Regulation.

  • Adopt a proximity approach to waste export, maintaining EFTA countries as a preferential partner.
  • Keep the Waste Shipment Regulation flexible enough to ensure the synergy of the waste hierarchy: every level has a role to play in the circular economy for the safe management of waste.
  • Further reduce the flow of waste shipped outside of the EU, as sound waste management is often uncertain in non-OECD countries.
  • Support the creation of a functioning market for secondary raw materials recovered by the recycling industry and Waste-to-Energy plants.

In order to make waste shipments out of Europe a thing of the past, Europe needs to further support internal and sustainable waste treatment practices. As waste generation is growing, the need in non-recyclable waste treatment capacity is expected to significantly increase.

It is thus crucial for the EU legislators to consider the role of waste-to-energy in the circular economy as a complementary tool to recycling. Otherwise non-recyclable waste would be left with no option for treatment but landfills.
