B+T Deuna uses Lindner shredders to supply Deuna Zement GmbH
State-of-the-Art SRF Production Facility in Germany: SRF for an Entire Cement Plant 24/7
The two major players in recycling and waste processing: Lindner-Recyclingtech and the B+T Group have been partners for many years, successfully working together on many important projects. Now they are delighted to announce their latest project: a brand-new SRF production facility with the most modern technology in the whole of Germany. One Lindner Jupiter 3200 for primary shredding and three Komet 2800 HP for secondary shredding are in operation there. The latter are part of the new Series 2 – a recently launched Lindner innovation.
The Bohn group’s eighth facility – with a total of over twenty Lindner machines in operation – covers an area of 25,000 square metres below the cement plant, has a maximum throughput of 250,000 metric tons per year and a storage facility for approximately 4,000 metric tons of finished goods. Pre-sorted waste is processed at the plant, especially non-recyclable post-consumer packaging and plastic film, as well as rubber and textile waste, which also cannot be mechanically recovered. With the full supply contract, the newly founded operating company B+T Deuna GmbH has agreed to supply the cement plant 24/7, 365 days a year. For quality assurance purposes, the solid recovered fuel is constantly tested for its burning properties using near-infrared technology (NIR). PVC with chlorine has no place in fuel and is safely removed.
The material mixture is prepared for further processing with an environmentally friendly, electrically powered crane grabber. ‘This is where the primary shredder Jupiter 3200 comes into play,’ says Matthias Pitz. After shredding, the fuel particles are transported to the processing unit, which also houses an optical sorting system. Here, the material is classified using near-infrared devices and wind sifters. Metals and other recyclable materials, which might still be present in the feed material, are removed and sold, while the useful material for SRF production is secondary shredded with the Series 2 Komet 2800 HP.
Jointly developed: the new Komet Series 2
Matthias Pitz explains the advantages of the Lindner machines: ‘In our experience, the Komet secondary shredders are machines that operate reliably 24/7 and always produce the perfect output material, i.e. the desired quality in the required quantity.’ According to Scheiflinger-Ehrenwerth, the crucial secondary shredder improvements implemented by the Austrian shredder specialist after a joint innovation workshop are: exchangeable wear plates, simplified access to machine components for maintenance and repairs, a new generation of frequency converters, anti-vibration electrical cables and optional versions for special applications.
Both companies find their cooperation extremely fruitful for clients who opt for an SRF production facility for the supply of premium alternative fuels, which is why both the B+T Group and Lindner are happy to predict that: ‘As reliable partners we are bound to continue to work together on future projects.’
