The processing plant, tailored to customer requirements, was designed, built, and commissioned by our partner company Entsorgungstechnik Bavaria following intensive planning and consulting sessions. By using a specially developed intermediate bunker, any fluctuations in the material input can be balanced out, keeping the material flow constant. A new BHS cardboard packaging screen and a PaperSpike were installed to remove a large part of the cardboard packaging from the material stream in advance. After unloading, the material is screened. The fine fraction thus obtained already forms one of the finished products and is stored in dedicated bunkers. After pre-treatment, de-inking material is extracted from the wastepaper stream. This is carried out by two REDWAVE 2i sorting machines, equipped with near-infrared sensors combined with RGB cameras, each with a width of 2800 mm. The sorting machines, which are set up in series, offer the additional advantage that the material is agitated. The material is then scanned by a third, slightly narrower REDWAVE 2i in order to recover high-quality de-inking material from the cardboard packaging stream. This sorting machine is used for recovery and ensures the highest possible yield of recycled material.
