A powerful pair in plastics recycling: ANDRITZ’s latest shredder and separation technology
The rising success of the plastics recycling sector has turned an environmental hazard – plastic waste – into a valuable resource. The constantly growing industry comes with increasing demands in terms of technology and quality, but also offers enormous potential for those who are ready to strike new paths. ANDRITZ has combined the latest shredder technology from its recently launched ADuro product line with an all-in-one solution for separating, washing and dewatering – the CENSOR ACZ decanter centrifuge. This powerful pair is perfect for processing various types of plastic waste, especially from household waste collection.
A major goal in any industry is to produce more and waste less. More product with fewer waste streams translates into higher margins. This same goal applies to com-munities and consumers as well. As a manufacturer of high-quality recycling equipment, ANDRITZ technologies not only reduce the extraction of primary raw materials, but also free up landfills and disposal sites to protect the environment. By separating and treating many different waste flows, raw materials are made usable again, either as a source of additional revenue or by reusing the materials within the production cycle. At present, ANDRITZ is focusing on processing of the following waste streams/applications: E-scrap, metal and special waste, organic waste, end-of-life vehicles, wood, rejects from the pulp and paper industry, plastics, as well as applications for generating energy from various waste products.
In order to meet the growing needs of the plastics recycling sector, ANDRITZ has developed a very compact recycling system in order to save transportation and disposal costs and eliminate the damage to the environment caused by burning of plastic waste. Instead, the system recovers plastics as a highly valuable secondary raw material featuring high purity. The final product – the recovered plastic – can be used for gray or colored plastic to make garden furniture and many other different items.

Development of local municipal solid waste management in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.
Influence of pre-screening before ballistic separation on NIR-sorting quality of plastic rich 3D-fractions out of MCW

The exploitation of plastics gains more importance over time. In this con-text, material recycling is especially focused on packaging plastics. A further waste stream that contains a significant amount of plastics is mixed commercial solid waste. To assess the potential of plastics for recycling and energy recovery from these waste stream large-scale experiments were conducted. The potential of mechanical pre-processing with the aim of generating a 3D-plastics pre-concentrate was assessed. The focus of these investigations was put on the relevance of the screening stage and its influence on down-stream material processing via ballistic separation and sensor-based sorting. Results demonstrate not only that the screening of the waste leads to enrichment of plastics in coarse particle size ranges (especially > 80 mm) and transfer of contaminants, organics and minerals to fine fractions (especially < 10 mm), but also that sensor-based sorting performance can be significantly enhanced due to cleaning effects on plastics, induced by the material circulation and friction in a drum screen.
Wertstoffhof 2020 - Neuorientierung von Wertstoffhöfen
© ia GmbH - Wissensmanagement und Ingenieurleistungen (4/2015)
Im Jahr 2014, zwanzig Jahre nach dem durch das Bayerische Staatsministerium für Landesentwicklung und Umweltfragen organisierten Wettbewerb „Der vorbildliche Wertstoffhof“, ist es sicher angebracht, sich dem Thema erneut zuzuwenden. Was ist aus den prämierten Wertstoffhöfen der Preisträger in den jeweiligen Clustern geworden? Wie hat sich das System grundsätzlich entwickelt? Wo geht es hin, wenn man die gesellschaftlichen Anforderungen aus demografischer Entwicklung, Ressourcenschutz und Klimarelevanz betrachtet?
Trennen voll im Trend - Automatische Sortier-Techniken als Hoffnungsträger
© Deutscher Fachverlag (DFV) (6/2008)
Steigende Rohstoffpreise machen die Mehrfach-Nutzung von Wertstoffen ökonomisch immer interessanter. Weltweit wird daher die Nachfrage nach Technologien zur automatischen Sortierung von Abfallstoffen künftig mit zweistelligen Jahresraten wachsen. Deutsche Anbieter haben bei diesem Trend die Nase vorn.
Der Sack im Behälter - Wertstoffe und Restmüll lassen sich gemeinsam erfassen
© Deutscher Fachverlag (DFV) (6/2008)
Nach der ausführlichen Übersicht über die Großversuche zur Erfassung von Wertstoffen (vgl. ENTSORGA-Magazin 7/8.2007 und 5.2008) widmen wir uns heute dem Versuch „Sack im Behälter“, den das Unternehmen Lobbe im Raum Iserlohn (Nordrhein-Westfalen) derzeit durchführt. Bürgerakzeptanz, Sammel- und Sortierergebnisse scheinen viel versprechend.
