Complete installations
Perfectly designed treatment process
An optimal process chain in the preparation for recycling or thermal recovery always requires coordinated processes and continuous material flows. As a manufacturer of all relevant components, we ensure trouble-free preparation and optimised subsequent handling when designing your plant.
As precise as Swiss clockwork
Only few products stand for precision and reliability as much as Swiss watches. Something that works "as precisely as a Swiss watch" simply works perfectly. One tooth meshes with the next, there is no faltering and no stumbling. Perfect, smooth operation is guaranteed.
We also pursue this goal when designing your systems for complex treatment processes. Here, too, the coordination of the individual items with each other is the basic prerequisite for a successful material flow. Vecoplan is an international expert in mechanical processing and not only offers the strongest individual components from a single source, but has also acquired the know-how over the last 50 years to combine them into a complete installation in line with requirements.Material
Wood
- Intelligently bring wood residues that accumulate in sawmills, joineries or during furniture production into the residual material cycle.
Processing wood leftovers instead of disposing of them, then using the output thermally or as a raw material is an economically attractive option for sawmills, joineries and furniture manufacturers. We supply the right technology to help you achieve this. Our shredding and processing technologies are an integral part of the wood, raw and residual materials cycle. We can deliver the entire material preparation process to you. Our plants shred the materials into a high-quality, homogeneous output material. We also have transport solutions for a dosed supply and for safe storage.
Biomass
- Technologies and machines in biomass processing for reliable supply of biomass heat and power plants
Biomass CHP plants, also known as biomass cogeneration plants, generate electrical energy from biogenic solids, plus a great amount of additional heat that can be used efficiently. To ensure a smooth combustion process, the mass must first be mechanically prepared in advance to obtain a homogeneous unit that is free of impurities. We also supply equipment that stores, doses and conveys the various materials. You’ll get a Vecoplan system for the individual feeding and preparation of the fuels, and it will be perfectly tailored to match your usage scenario.
Files and Data storage media
- Security in the destruction of files and data
Benefit from consistent safety, maximum shredding performance, end-to-end plant efficiency and overall cost-effectiveness that pays off for you.
Highly secure and efficient shredding of files and data media
TÜV-certified security levels, according to DIN 66399-2
Realisation of complete plant systems according to DIN 66399-3
Our engineers are specialists in their field. The result is particularly powerful document destruction and data media shredders that have been security requirements down to the last detail.
Paper and pulp
- Shredding of paper waste from production or recycling operations in preparation for return to the recyclable material cycle
We offer shredding solutions that economically and efficiently return waste paper, paper rolls or bales, production rejects and cardboard to the recycling loop. If you are responsible for the preparation of these materials in paper production, paper processing or recycling, we will provide you with solutions that are exactly tailored to your requirements and your input materials.
Domestic and industrial waste
- The processing of often problematic waste requires well thought-out solutions for sustainable treatment
Do you want to process waste efficiently and return it to the materials cycle? We supply complete processing plants for this purpose. With our solutions, you can pick up various materials after delivery, store them, free them from impurities, shred them into a high-quality output and transport them. To achieve all of this, we can supply you with a range of machines, including powerful pre- and post-shredders, metal separators, conveyor belts and screening & separating units. Step-by-step, the material flow is separated into its various fractions and processed as required. You’ll benefit from coordinated systems with high levels of availability and economic efficiency.
Alternative fuels
- Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used – these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
Plastics - post consumer
- Waste from the use and consumption of plastic products generated by private or commercial end users
The reduction and recycling of plastics are recognisably in the political and European focus. The European Strategy for Plastics in the Circular Economy, the German Resource Efficiency Programme III and the new EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy; they all define measures for the use of plastic recyclates and for increasing the production and procurement of plastic products from post-consumer recyclates (PCR).
Plastics - post industrial
- Waste generated during the manufacture of plastic products in industry. The high-quality and valuable raw materials can be processed and returned to production as recyclate
Post-industrial recycling materials such as purgings, lumps, semi-finished plastic products, films and production & process waste are particularly challenging. We will supply you with powerful solutions for efficient processing into high-quality output. Our systems will efficiently shred, convey, dose and safely store your different materials. We’ll develop the right processing strategy together with you in our Technology Centre.
Plastics - in-house recycling
- In in-house recycling, plastic waste that is a by-product of production is directly processed in a closed loop and fed back into production as raw materials
Would you like to process your reject material into regranulate so that it can be re-introduced into production? In-house recycling has become an established practice, because processors make significant cost savings by using this procedure. On the one hand, they have to pay less for expensive new material and on the other, there’s no need for disposal in external recycling plants. Vecoplan will supply you with exactly the right machines for efficient and high-quality output. We have installed machines that are suitable for processing many materials in our Technology Centre, so we can test the individual materials you need in your applications and develop processing strategies that will match your requirements perfectly.
