Vecoplan LLC introduces Truck Unloading Container System (TUCS)
Vecoplan has introduced its Truck Unloading Container System (TUCS™ ), which has been designed specifically to expedite the unloading of shred trucks while containing and removing the intrinsic dust. With the TUCS, operators can eliminate the need for any manual labour when unloading the shred truck and feeding the baler.
The system includes an unloading containment module constructed of steel and clear vinyl strips that allow drivers to back the truck in, unload and pull away, without leaving the truck’s cab. The containment module includes a built-in pneumatic dust collection system and an enclosed inclined conveyor with feed chute that automatically transfers the shredded paper to your baler. TUCS features a small footprint, quick and simple installation, seamless operation, and an economical price tag.
Vecoplan offers a variety of options that enable TUCS to be custom tailored to fit particular operations. These include a true dump and run conveying system for fast truck unloading, a floor mounted conveyor for metered feed, and a below floor level conveyor for plants that employ pits.
TUCS maximises the efficiency of removing the truck’s payload, minimises the time required to do so, eliminates manual labour, eliminates dust, automatically feeds your baler, and accomplishes all of this at a very affordable price.

Bright future for waste recycling in Canada
Foreign suppliers of waste and recycling technology report brisk business / Market slows down / By Rainer Jaensch
The recycling business in Canada has also been adversely affected by the global economic slump. Ultimately, metals are no longer commanding the record prices they did half a year ago. And the banking crisis is making it difficult to finance bigger projects. That said, the medium- and long-term outlook for waste recycling in Canada is still good. Development of this sector is still lagging behind Europe, but Canada is following the European model. The equipment used also shows this. (contact address)
In Canada, waste handling and recycling equipment, machines and plant are often imported from abroad. This was also the impression conveyed to visitors to the Canadian Waste & Recycling Expo. There was a strong presence of foreign suppliers at this event, which was organised by the "Messe Frankfurt" on 5-6.11.08 at the International Centre in Toronto. Exhibitors from the USA, in particular, but also from Europe, not least Germany, were well positioned at the trade fair and conference.
It was not just sophisticated recycling plants from Europe that were on show, but also dustbins (trash cans) from the German manufacturer Otto, for example. They are produced in the USA, amongst other countries, and sales in both the USA and Canada have grown by 20% to 25% year on year recently. The figure is put at around 20% for 2008, according to information provided at the exhibition stand. The market is driven by the increasing trend for domestic waste to be separated into paper, organic waste, packaging, etc., while Otto owes its success to the quality of its product plus the accompanying warranty and prompt after sales service. One of Otto's main competitors is the US company Rehrig Pacific Co.
The Schäfer company presented a European dustbin design at the exhibition. At the trade fair stands and at the presentations, emphasis was placed on Europe's role model status in terms of waste management and recycling.
Suppliers of machines and plant from Europe, and Germany in particular, were strongly represented, the key criteria for their products being modern technology, precision and ruggedness. Doppstadt, the German manufacturer of shredders, grinders and chippers, represented at the trade fair by the Canadian retail establishment Voghel, posted an increase in sales of between 15% and 20% each year over the last few years. Since the summer of 2008, however, business has suffered due to the financial crisis. Financing is more difficult for both private companies and municipal consumers who use these machines to recycle waste. This means that sales growth for Doppstadt may fall to single figures in 2009.
However, the medium- and long-term prospects remain very promising, Elke Ernest, General Manager of Doppstadt America Inc. told the bfai. The fact is that the amount of waste produced per capita in North America is several times that of Europe, but the processing and recycling methods are not as advanced.
The German shredder manufacturer Vecoplan has seen a sharp increase in sales. From the USA it also serves the Canadian market, where it has increased its sales from around 12 m to 70 m Canadian dollars or around 46 m euros since 2000 (1 euro = 1.54 Can$). Although these increases were in the double-digit range up till now, they have since fallen to single figures. Despite the financial crisis and looming recession, a single-figure sales increase is also anticipated for 2009.
Vecoplan customers operate in the industrial sector, particularly the chemical and paper industries, which have been affected by the latest economic slump, or were already in a weak position. The current strength of the US Dollar has had a positive impact on the German provider. Things were much tougher when the exchange rate was 1.60, the exhibitor explained. After all, the Vecoplan shredder, whose main competitors are American and German products, is more expensive than rival American brands in any case. On the other hand, Vecoplan can offer a unique product and high quality.
The Canadian recycling plant manufacturer Machinex Recycling Services, based in Québec, has enjoyed an increase in sales of between 20% and 30% each year. This trend is set to continue at roughly the same rate according to the information given at the stand. Roughly half the customers are municipal corporations and the other half are private companies seeking to reduce the size of refuse tips. The latter is the more dynamic customer base. The two strongest growth segments are the processing of electronic waste and waste building materials. The latter produces the larger quantity of waste, but discarded electronic equipment (ranging from computers and TVs through to mobile phones) contains precious metals and other useful materials.
Due to the pace of technological developments in the field of computers and mobile phones, the waste mountain is growing apace. The politicians are now putting their weight behind "e-waste recycling", and the most important provinces have set up appropriate programmes.
Electronic waste recycling programmes in the provinces
Alberta: first province to introduce an e-waste recycling programme. More than 11,000 t have been processed since 2004
Saskatchewan: the "Waste Electronic Equipment Program" launched in 2007 collected more than 1,350 t in the first year
British Columbia: the Electronics Stewardship Association started in August 2007 and has since recycled more than 4,200 t of electronic waste.
Ontario: the programme has been fully developed on paper and awaits ministerial approval
Québec: proposals are still under under review
Manitoba: in 2007, provisional collection points for electronic waste were set up at four depots for 26 districts; more than 305 t has been collected.
Source: Canadian Plastics Industry Association
When the programmes planned for Ontario and Québec come into force, this is likely to give e-waste recycling an additional boost. After all, these are easily the most densely populated and heavily industrialised provinces. The main sales markets for recycling plant manufacturer Machinex are also in these two provinces, followed by British Columbia and Alberta.
The mechanical engineering firm Liebherr is a new arrival to the Canadian market and supplies waste metal handling plant. Its cranes are specially designed for this task and have the capacity to handle the heavy loads involved. Liebherr competes in this niche market with companies such as Caterpillar, and places emphasis on high quality, ruggedness and fuel efficiency. However, business is slow at the moment due to the financial crisis. Everybody is playing a waiting game, according to the staff at the Liebherr stand.
The trade fair, which lasted two days and was attended by around 200 exhibitors, attracted more than 2,500 visitors, according to the organiser's estimate. The majority of the companies surveyed by the bfai appeared to be satisfied with the event. It's small, but it's also the only trade fair in Canada devoted to waste management and recycling. The next Canadian Waste and Recycling Expo will be staged in Vancouver at the end of October 2009.

Vecoplan AG project management
Werner Schweinsberg, the new manager of the Wood Division, formulates the company's approach to consulting and services
"The most important thing when two parties do business is that years later you are able to shake hands and look back on what you have achieved together." This is how Werner Schweinsberg, the new head of the Wood Division at Vecoplan AG in Germany, sums up the business philosophy of his company in one sentence. Since 2008, Mr Schweinsberg, as a senior executive, has been responsible for the entire sales and project planning of the Wood Division at the globally active Vecoplan Group.
He and his team of key account managers and project engineers see themselves as consulting partners for existing and new customers.
"We are a specialist and generalist rolled into one. Perhaps I can make this clear using pellet production as an example:
In our role as generalist, we plan complete pelletising plants together with our customer, tailored to his/her individual requirements. This encompasses the four main production stages: wet and dry wood processing; drying; the pelletising process itself and transport and dispatch.
We create the flow diagrams, design the plant layout and draw up the specifications for the supplying companies with our customer. The main focus of this process, in addition to quality and cost-efficiency, is on achieving the best logistics and keeping maintenance to a minimum..
We are specialists in two of the above areas. namely all wood processing with pre- and re-shredding, conveying technology, screening, separation and storage in wood shavings bunkers. We can also provide customer-optimised transport solutions between the drying and pelletising production stages as well as the entire conveying technology and screening of fines in the dispatch area. In the areas of drying and pelletising, on the other hand, we work out a requirements profile together with our customer, then compile a shortlist of possible component suppliers who, based on our many years of experience, meet the requirements of this profile. The customer can and should be put in direct contact with a specialised supplier of drying and pelletising technology. We consciously avoid direct financial involvement in these areas. As this part of the project is contracted directly, the costs for the customer are reduced.
And the results speak for themselves. In 2007, sales in the Wood Division at Vecoplan exceeded € 50 million for the first time ever. So our approach would seem to be the right one."
Vecoplan AG is a leading manufacturer of machines and plant for resource management and recycling, comprising systems for shredding, conveying and processing of timber, biomass, plastics, paper, other recyclables and also domestic and commercial waste. The systems and components are developed and produced by Vecoplan and marketed in the timber processing and recycling sectors worldwide. The company currently employs some 380 staff at its sites in Germany, Austria, the USA and Great Britain. In the 2007 financial year, the company achieved consolidated sales of € 106.2 m
(2006: € 86.4 m). The company is wholly owned by M.A.X. Automation AG, Dusseldorf.

New high-tech drive system from Westerwald saves energy in the production of secondary fuels in Westerwald
Energy-efficient drive technology from Vecoplan AG will be used in future to convert more than 65 tons of commercial waste per hour into secondary fuels at the MBS (mechanical biological stabilisation) plant in Rennerod.
The "MBS-Anlage Westerwald GmbH & Co. KG" plant produces a CO2-saving fuel that can be used instead of oil and coal. The "dry stabilate" process used in Rennerod represents a pioneering step towards virtually complete utilisation of waste streams for recycling and energy generation. In the light of today's energy prices, this is sound technology both in economic and ecological terms.
When the plant was put into operation in 2000, Vecoplan AG was the recycling plant specialist who supplied most of the mechanical waste processing systems - the core components of the shredding, conveying and sorting technology.
Now one of the two so-called pre-shredding units is to be replaced by a new high-performance shredder. It can shred 65 tons of waste per hour,
equivalent to the combined output of the two shredders used up till now, calculated over a year. Furthermore, the energy consumption is significantly lower with the new HiTorc drive patented by Vecoplan. The second shredder, which is still fully functional after 8 years of continuous operation and around 320,000 tons of shredded waste, will in future only be used when maintenance work is being carried out.
This will also use much less energy than before, thanks to the new Vecoplan-patented HiTorc drive.
Kurt Schüler, deputy mayor of the Westerwald district, welcomes this investment. "The Westerwald district has been involved in the dry stabilate plant since 2004. I am very happy that we will be able to save energy in future by using the new energy-efficient shredding technology and therefore meet our responsibility for ensuring a sustainable economy. Of course I'm particularly pleased that this technology, which is unique worldwide, is also developed and built by a medium-sized company in the Westerwald district."
Irene Scheidweiler, the founder of Vecoplan and member of the Management Board is also satisfied: "We at Vecoplan have been selling our machines and plants throughout the world for nearly 40 years. Our employees are constantly travelling in Asia, Australia, America or Eastern Europe. I am therefore particularly pleased that a company from Westerwald, which is also my home, has chosen our machines and plant."

The price of oil is creating growing interest in energy-efficient drive technologies, also in Eastern Europe and South-East Asia
Field trial showed that the patented HiTorc drive saves up to 50% on the energy costs for the production of secondary fuels
In the wake of the IFAT 2008 environmental trade fair, Vecoplan AG recorded a sharp increase in interest in its energy-efficient machines and plant for recycling. The potential for savings offered by the company's patented HiTorc drive recently attracted considerable attention in South-East Asia and Eastern Europe.
The HiTorc drive is a virtually maintenance-free high-torque direct drive for shredders that does not require a hydraulic coupling, belt drive or gearbox.
In an in-house field test, Vecoplan AG demonstrated that the energy costs associated with the shredding of commercial waste can be cut by up to 50% with the HiTorc drive, compared to conventional drive systems. Shredding is the really important production step involved in the manufacturing of secondary fuels from, for example, domestic and commercial waste.
Bernard Kemper, Vecoplan AG Board of Directors: "The issue of energy prices now also appears to be under discussion in South-East Asia and the Eastern European countries. Companies involved in the recycling and processing of materials in the wood and waste industries have shown growing interest in the machines and plant technology from Vecoplan AG for some years. Now there is the additional factor that the focus on energy-efficient techniques for producing these secondary fuels is no longer confined to high-priced Western Europe. Companies from Asia and Eastern Europe have also been expressing a great deal of interest recently, also in view of the need for sustainable production methods. Of course we have considerable expectations with regard to this new development, particularly in light of our patented and unique drive technology."

Environmental adviser to the American president visits VECOPLAN
An international conference on waste management took place at senior official level at the Federal Ministry for the Environment in Bonn between 4 and 6 October 2007.
The purpose of the conference was to prepare for the G8 meeting of environment ministers at Kobe in Japan, in May 2008. The 3 Rs stand for "Reduce", "Reuse" and "Recycle". The measures are not confined to recycling, however; they also deal with issues surrounding waste avoidance by changing patterns of production and consumption and through the use of secondary raw materials.
In order to provide an insight into German environmental technology, Bernard Kemper, a member of the Vecoplan AG Board of Directors, was pleased to respond to the request of the BMU (German Ministry for the Environment) and VDMA (German Engineering Federation) and invited participants at the conference to an inspection of our production facilities. The guests, ministry officials from Chile, Indonesia, Japan, USA and the United Nations environmental programme, were also present at a trial run carried out under real conditions at our Technical Centre.
This was followed by a highly informative discussion, chaired by Helge Wendenburg, head of the Water and Waste Department at the BMU, on the potential applications for Vecoplan technology worldwide. The participants included Edwin Pinero (on the right in the picture), who is responsible at the White House in Washington for environmental standards throughout all the US government's operations. It goes without saying that Jörg Müller (on the left) wasted no time in inviting him to visit our American subsidiary Vecoplan LLC in North Carolina. The fact is that Vecoplan shredders are needed in the USA too …. |

VECOPLAN launches new film and fibre shredder technology onto the market
Special rotor geometry for shredding of film and fibres. Before 2004, manufacturers of products made of plastic film and plastic fibres in the USA were not in a position to shred accumulated waste material efficiently and cost-effectively. Two factors in particular made it essential to reduce the size of these waste products: firstly, the steadily increasing cost of handling this unmanageable waste on the one hand and, secondly, the benefit of recovering plastics for subsequent use in other products.
The problem with shredding plastic film and fibres using conventional shredders was the tendency of these materials to wind themselves round the cutting rotors, leading to self-feeding attachment to the rotor. The tangled material would then begin to heat up and melt, clogging the machine.
Leading manufacturers in the American plastics industry approached Vecoplan in their quest for a solution. The problem was tackled by a team of engineers in the R&D department at Vecoplan, led by Thomas Sturm. At the start of 2004, Vecoplan started field tests with a view to further refining its solution. The R&D team wanted to make sure that the new technology was really up to the job of shredding film and fibres. The name SureCut™ used at the outset seemed appropriate and was therefore kept. On 4 January 2005, VECOPLAN obtained patent rights for the SureCut™ cutting rotor (US patent no. 6.837.453).
To date, Vecoplan has installed around 100 SureCut™ shredding systems in the USA that successfully shred film and fibre products, including stretch film, ropes, seat belts, carpets, airbags and much more.
The patented system incorporates the SureCut™ cutting rotor with its double row of primary cutters, whose height has been increased with additional "nip" cutters designed to prevent material winding round the rotor, a "wedge-shaped" fixed knife to increase the shearing angle, a passive PLC ram program with graphic interface for the automatic feed, a precision close-tolerance rotor and a reinforced screen.
“SureCut represents a decisive step forward for the process of recycling waste from extruded foil and synthetic fibres and is influential on the theory of shredding in general", according to Len Beusse, Chief Operating Officer of VECOPLAN, LLC.
Beusse adds: "The SureCut™ rotor solves the problem of how to effectively shred waste consisting of film and fibres so as to obtain a uniform particle size and cutting length. Field tests and independent studies have confirmed our extremely positive results, and we are delighted to be able to present this progress in shredding technology to our customers." |

New directions in pellet manufacturing
Since the wood materials industry, wood-fired power stations and the pellet industry have been competing for the increasingly valuable raw material wood, pellet manufacturers have been striking out in new directions.
Roundwood that cannot be directly utilised is first debarked and cut into short lengths. This roundwood frequently contains metal splinters, which make it unsuitable for knife chippers. This is why at German Pellets, for example, they chose a VECOPLAN shredder (VAZ) with HiTorc drive for the shredding of short lengths.
The pellet maker's plants at Wismar and Ettenheim will soon be putting the reliability and efficiency of the VAZ 2500 MFT to the test. In future the raw materials produced from the debarker and root reducer, as well as raw bark from other sawmills, will be processed to form industrial pellets.
To optimise processing at Ettenheim and Wismar, vibration feed conveyors are used in combination with wheel loaders. Heavy material and iron separation takes place upstream of the first screening station.
Coarse bark larger than about 80 mm is fed directly to the shredder VAZ 2500 downstream of the disc screen.
The other material stream undergoes further separation into three fractions using a disc screen, and the 0-10 mm fraction is removed completely before processing the remainder of the material. The medium fraction (approx. 10-30 mm) can be fed to the drying section without any further shredding. The coarse material is reshredded.
The mineral components of the dryer-compatible material are removed downstream of the dryer in the 'fine screening' section in order to minimise wear during the subsequent pelletising process and reduce the ash content of the pellets to a minimum.
VECOPLAN shredding, conveying and storage technology has also been in operation for years at many other pellet production facilities in Germany, including Westwälder Holz Pellets, Bioenergie Mudau and Energie Pellets Oberhonnefeld. |

BAETSEN the second: A new recycled wood processing plant is being erected together with Vecoplan!
The Baetsen company is building a new processing plant for used wood at Son, on the outskirts of Eindhofen. The plant will process 200,000 tons of old wood a year, which corresponds to an output of around 50 t/h over 250 working days with 16 hours a day. Vecoplan is supplying almost all the machinery for processing the old wood. The vast majority of the finished end product will be used in the production of chipboard, so the quality of the finished product is crucial for Baetsen. To this end, non-ferrous metal separation and additional extraction for a light fraction has been incorporated into the plant concept.
Apart from the recyclable ferrous and non-ferrous metal fractions, a total of three main fractions are produced. The largest fraction (roughly 80%) will be used in the production of chipboard. Around 10% of the material stream will be used as fuel with a particle size of <35 mm, while the remaining 10% is the dust fraction (<5mm).
Vecoplan is responsible for the overall planning of this plant, process development with the end customer, delivery of the entire machinery (apart from ferrous and non-ferrous metal separation), assembly and commissioning. Support in obtaining planning permission for the plant and collaboration with the building contractors, in particular, were central aspects of this contract and of the project management.
Apart from the machinery, Vecoplan is also supplying all the electrical systems that ensure the plant runs fully automatically. |
