Initially started as a transport company and developed into a trading company in coal products, that is the history in a nutshell of Reijnders BV from Boxtel. The latest step in this development is the purchase of a Dino mobile bulk truck loader. “Thanks to the Dino we can do much more work for our clients”, says production planner Ruud van Kollenburg. But there are even more important benefits that make him a satisfied client. Leading trader in coal products Reijnders is one of the leading traders in coal products in the Netherlands. One of the products in which it trades is coke, a product which is produced during the refining process in a refinery. Reijnders sieves the coke which then leaves particles of from 0 to 2 mm. This is then used as raw materials for the steel industry. Coke on call “The coke is available from us on call. We then load it from the big bags into bulk trucks and take it to the client”, explains Van Kollenburg. Before

OPC UA (Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture) presented for the first time Schönberg, November 2017 A well-attended FAKUMA 2017 is over, and also this year Sesotec convinced trade visitors with the metal separators presented at the trade fair. At the FAKUMA Sesotec not only maintained existing business relations with customers and partners but also was able to establish many new national and international contacts. The trade fair presence with the new ”Purity matters” corporate claim was a complete success. At the FAKUMA 2017 Sesotec presented metal separators of the PROTECTOR, RAPID PRO SENSE and GF series. These systems reliably detect and separate magnetic and non-magnetic metal particles even if they are enclosed in the granulate, and they thus ensure the quality of plastic products. Injection moulding machines, extruders, and blow moulding machines are protected against damage and clogging, the output is increased, and the amount of rejects is reduced. Metal separators contribute to the optimisation of processes, to the minimisation

Goudsmit Magnetics Group of Waalre has recently upgraded the magnetic head pulley separators, increasing the generated magnetic force to over 9000 gauss. These high gradient separators remove weakly magnetic and paramagnetic particles down to around 10-15 mm from bulk and recycling flows. This includes bits of stainless steel from shredded WEEE, ASR and plastic flows. It is also suitable for removal of specific soil contaminants, soil, stones and iron dust from ceramic material or blasting grit. The magnetic head pulley has a radial magnet construction and is used for smaller fractions, up to around 10-15 mm, and for single layer thicknesses. A precondition for optimal separation is that the ferromagnetic particles have been previously removed from the product stream, thus enabling the separator to function with optimal effect on the weakly magnetic particles which pass the magnet at a constant flow rate. After all, when ferromagnetic (Fe) metal particles are present

with Sesotec VARISORT COMPACT Sorting System MB-Sort is headquartered in Schönberg in the heart of the Bavarian Forest. Established in August 2016 the company presents itself as a specialist for material recycling on a market with great potential and offers professional contract sorting of all kinds of complex and technically problematic materials. The objective is to recover secondary raw materials from different kinds of mixed fractions, for example from electric and electronic waste, metal waste, and plastics. Task Every month MB-Sort recycles up to 200 tons of various mixed fractions. Its customers include recycling companies and companies from the manufacturing industry. ”In our own sorting line the material must be sorted into different material groups or cleaned. Sesotec’s VARISORT COMPACT system is optimally suited for this task”, says Markus Burghart. Solution: VARISORT COMPACT The material to be inspected is fed into the VARISORT COMPACT system by means of specifically adapted vibration
