Recycling Technology Innovations, News
Volume reduction of solid waste is mainly used for diverting large volumes of materials from the waste stream to a manufacturing process. Volume reduction is primarily a pre-recycling operation and needs follow-up. Compacters, balers and presses, the main volume reducers for waste materials, are useful for two reasons. They reduce solid waste volume for efficient transport and prepare waste for further size reduction. Compacted waste also takes up less space in a landfill, and therefor extends the life of the landfill. This Technology Zone offers an insight into the latest innovations in volume reduction technologies for solid waste handling.
Manchester based waste management equipment manufacturer, Whitham Mills Engineering Limited, has recently installed a new fully automatic channel baler for the international packaging company, Tri-Wall at their Monmouth site.

Read moreNo-one at Repasack in Oberhausen is prepared to part with their HSM BRP 4810 briquetting press: the machine presses twice as fast as its predecessor, compresses the material to a thirtieth of its initial volume and so far it has not had any operational faults. At the large counting centre for disposable packaging made from PET, aluminium and tin there was a positive summary regarding the first new HSM briquetting press. Despite some difficulties that had had to be overcome along the way.

Stefan Lewandowski (Presona AB)Stefan Lewandowski is an expert in all matters regarding heavy duty horizontal balers for a wide range of industrial applications. Stefan has travelled all over the world for the last 10 years sharing his knowledge in volume reduction technology in general and pre-press horizontal balers in specific.With the HSM FP 3000 barrel press, HSM GmbH + Co. KG, the Frickingen manufacturer of baling presses, PET solutions and document shredders, offers a robust and reliable disposal solution for pressing empty, lightweight sheet or roller-type barrels, canisters and plastic containers.
Read moreAluminium’s recycling cycle begins and ends in melting plants. In between, this light metal is machined in many different industrial operations of diverse branches and ideally is then pressed into a compact briquette using a briquetting system from RUF. But where exactly are chips produced and why does briquetting usually make economic sense?
Read moreFirst, some science: Food entering landfills releases methane to the atmosphere, a greenhouse gas that has many more times the impact than the better known greenhouse gas CO2 (www.waste360.com/operations/how-banning-food-waste-landfills-affects-industry).
Read moreNumerous companies, which produce huge volumes of metal chips as part of their daily business, will be present at AMB 2018 in Stuttgart. Recycling these chips can be a profitable business. Ruf Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG in Hall 8 / Stand C58 are going to demonstrate how this can be accomplished, for example with the RUF 5.5/1600/80 briquetting press.
