Significant increase in throughput at the same opening and emptying rate. All over the world Matthiessen bag openers are working in the first phase of many recyclables processing plants. Their field of application covers various feed materials such as household waste, MSW, Yellow Bag, light packaging, organic waste etc. The special feature of our bag openers is that recycling sacks of different sizes are ripped open and almost completely emptied. Their contents are loosened up and conveyed to the downstream preparation processes in constant dosage. The recyclables are neither crushed nor ground - a great advantage in subsequent sorting processes. Equipped with state-of-the-art control technology, Matthiessen bag openers not only contribute to an enormous ease of work and improved product quality, but also guarantee considerable energy savings in operation. Matthiessen has developed the active rotor comb (ARK) for the bagsplitter model series in order to further optimize the use of the bag openers as feeders at the beginning of modern

Impressions of our new premises On Expansion follows change: When the German location of Microtrac, Inc. opened its doors back in 2015, it began with a mere staff of two. After three years of existence, Microtrac GmbH now increased its number in personnel from two to ten – time for a change of location! To the beginning of October 2018, Microtrac GmbH moved from Campus Fichtenhain 42 in Krefeld Fichtenhain to Krefeld Fischeln and can now be found on Kimpler Straße 288, directly inside Sirius Business Park. The new premises offer three times the space for our larger team. We have prepared a selection of images for you that gives insight into a part of our new location and look forward to welcoming you there! Your Microtrac team

In the waste wood processing industry, railway sleepers are among the most difficult materials to shred. They are made of very hard wood and often still contain iron screws and plates. When Gojer, Kärntner Entsorgungsdienst GmbH was faced with the challenge of shredding these sleepers, they opted for the Urraco 95 DK mobile twin-shaft shredder from Lindner-Recyclingtech at the end of August 2017. How does the 770 HP mobile machine perform in terms of throughput, energy consumption and efficiency? Gojer looks back on a very positive first year. Over 10,000 metric tonnes of railway sleepers shredded The tracked Lindner mobile twin shaft shredder has already processed more than 24,000 metric tonnes of waste wood, including more than 10,000 metric tonnes of decommissioned railway sleepers. Gojer’s input material is acquired from Austria as well as neighbouring European countries. After shredding, the material is transported to an incineration plant in Austria. The

INNOVATIVE AND EVEN MORE POWERFUL! Parallel to the launch of the new machines by Swedish demolition robot manufacturer BROKK, its subsidiary DARDA GmbH is presenting three new crusher models. They are designed as a low-noise, yet powerful attachment tool for the new demolition robot series and for mini excavators in the 2.5 to 9-ton class. DARDA is known worldwide as a specialist supplier of smaller concrete crushers. Despite its compact size and with only a mini excavator as carrier, DARDA crushers can easily keep up with the performance of larger and heavier models. The DARDA units are designed for high crushing power and low weight. The CC440, CC480 and CC580 crushers of the new series come in a modern, uniform design and set new standards in terms of ruggedness and performance. ”The focus of the new designs was on an even higher power/performance ratio, a uniform design and even greater ruggedness, as well as new crushing tips for the two larger crushers,” says Engineering and Design Manager
