As co-exhibitor Sesotec’s partner company KRS Recycling Systems GmbH will be present at the IFAT trade fair stand with the new SPEKTRUM SCOPE glass sorting system. The SPEKTRUM SCOPE among others features a new NIR (near infrared) sensor unit. The modified FLAKE PURIFIER+ multi-sensor sorting system in addition to optimised material infeeding now also features a valve unit with doubled number of nozzles, which ensures higher precision in contaminant separation and a reduced loss of good material. Furthermore, the dust-proof design and the resort track that can be integrated in the FLAKE PURIFIER+

In order to process empty bags in as efficient, cheap and environmentally friendly a way as possible, Van Beek designed the bag compactor. Did you know that the Van Beek bag compactor will from now on also be able to compact big bags easily? Technique adapted to big bags The operation of the bag compactor is as effective as it is efficient. The screw in this machine compacts empty bags, which reduces the volume by some 60 to 80 percent. The market asked Van Beek if the bag compactor also worked for big bags. The answer was no, but Van Beek likes to think up solutions and set to work on this one. “Big bags are bigger and made of a coarse fabric that is a bit more difficult to compact”, says Joram van der Heijden, sales engineer at Van Beek. “During testing it was found that big bags are in particular more difficult to feed into the screw. To draw big bags into the screw, we devised a technique that exerts extra pressure on the bags and as a result big

HSM presents as a competent partner at the IFAT trade fair in Munich From 15 - 18 May, HSM GmbH + Co. KG, the south German manufacturer of baling presses, PET solutions and document shredders, will present its extensive range of products at IFAT, the world’s leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management, in Munich in Hall B5, booth 251/350. The exhibition will include the latest horizontal baling press, HSM HL 7009 with a press force of 700 kN, among other things. The compact horizontal baling press is the economic and space-saving disposal solution for chain stores and retailers, and it easily compresses cardboard and foil. With a cross-section of 1100 x 1100 mm and a bale length of 1200 mm, the bales weight up to 600 kg. In this way, the four-fold horizontally strapped bales achieve optimum truck utilisation. The integrated hydraulic lifting and tilting device means a significant reduction in personnel commitment during the compaction of recyclables. Thanks to the large-sized filler opening, even bulky

German based interVIB GmbH known as developer and supplier for vibratory conveying and screening equipment has delivered numerous Linear Vibratory Screens type VSL with special developed 3D-screening cassettes to various steel factories and scrap yards. The task is to improve scrap metal quality, either provided from shears or shredders, by taking out fines, magnetic dust and non-ferrous material. Capacities from 40 to/hr up to 300 to/hr can be achieved depending on the screen dimensions. The main focus is placed onto the special designed screening surface which is built from extra strong manganese steel. It is built as cassettes which can be easily exchanged and have a life span of over 18 months. Mainly 2-3 cassettes are inserted with cascades in-between, revolving the scrap. This ensures, that the fines laying on top of large scale parts will also be separated. The robust designed main body of the screening machine ensures that also unexpected heavy parts or
