Size reduction technology innovations in waste handling and recycling operations
Particle size reduction of recyclable materials during the shredding of modern end-of-life products plays a vital role in the composition (and quality) of the intermediate recycling streams and the ultimate material recovery and, therefore, recycling rate. To transfer valuable waste materials into reusable materials that can be reused as secondary raw materials, a perfectly functioning, robust technology with specified material preparation and designed for continuous operation is needed.
