It is based on thoroughly tested technologies and, at the same time, sets the course for the next generation of pre-shredders with its modular design that makes service and maintenance easier and cheaper than ever. With the M&J P250, you get a highly efficient pre-shredder that can be matched to your specific needs. And should your waste types change in the future, our service staff can quickly change the configuration. When we promise you unparalleled production uptime and hefty savings on your operating budget, we really mean it. All vital parts of the M&J P250 can be quickly disassembled This provides significant time and cost savings when it comes to service and maintenance as well. The P250 is available with an E-drive or a hydraulic drive.

GREAT ADVANTAGES OF MODULAR DESIGN

All vital parts of the M&J P250 can be quickly disassembled. This provides significant time and cost savings when it comes to service and maintenance.

Better welding access for hardfacing on cutting table

No need to disconnect hydraulic system during maintenance

Targeted replacement of the parts that are worn (and only those)

No need to disconnect the high-pressure hoses

Drive module is easily disconnected via nuts and bolts

Easy to adapt the machine to future needs

P250 WITH HYDRAULIC DRIVE

The M&J P250 is the mid-sized model of the M&J PreShred stationary pre-shredder family. It can process various waste types such as bulky waste, commercial and industrial waste, municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste, biomass, wood, as well as baled materials. The preshredder is generally used in refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production, biomass processing, waste-toenergy plants (WtE) and in mechanical biological treatment plants (MBT).

The M&J P250 features an open cutting table that allows stones and other hard particles like metals to fall through the cutting area. The open cutting table design and bi-directional shredding system increases safety and reduces the risk of malfunctions that may hinder operations. All knives and parts exposed to wear on the M&J P250 are made from wear-resistant steel, ensuring continuous and long-lasting performance. Bolts and bearings are conveniently mounted away from the cutting area, allowing for easy access and maintenance to reduce costly downtime.

P250 WITH E-DRIVE

Go green with E-drive

For certain waste types you should consider the many benefits of choosing the E-drive solution for your M&J P250. E-drive handles the task of shredding MSW, light C&I and waste wood as efficiently as a hydraulic drive. Only, it has the added advantage that it is far more energy-efficient and thus provides you with even bigger savings on your operating budget.

E-drive consumes up to 50% less energy during operations compared to hydraulic drive and enables you to execute the green transformation.

E-drive makes significantly less noise than a hydraulic drive* and therefore results in a pronounced improvement of the working environment for your employees. This can help retain employees – and attract new ones.

The M&J 4000S stationary shredder is designed to meet the special needs of plants in which the incoming material is extremely varied in both size and composition, and may also contain unpredictable components. The combination of a large cutting table and a twin-shaft shedding system makes it possible to shred almost any kind of material and that there are no problems with bridging.

The two extremely powerful shafts run asynchronously and in both directions. The power is transmitted via a double hydrostatic transmission that makes sure the machine provides full power right from startup, and takes full advantage of all the power for shredding. Depending on the machine configuration capacities of 10 to 100 tons/hours are achievable.

Heavy-duty fine-shredder for production of RDF/SRF material

The M&J F320 is a powerful flagship in our strong fine-shredder series, targeting the production of Alternative Fuels like RDF/SRF. Created from scratch, it can deliver an impressive 28 tonnes per hour (or 23 ton 90% below 50 mm). The low operating costs can be attributed to its innovative design. The M&J F320 has a unique cutting system that requires minimal daily maintenance. Unlike its competitors, once the rotor knives and static knives have been set in the initial setup, or after the knife holders have been changed, it does not require routine adjustment.

The M&J F320 also generates a limited amount of heat, so you can avoid frustrating downtime due to, for example, molten plastic. Stable and flexible production are key words for the M&J F320. You can just set the output size, adjust the pusher to meet your needs and off you go.

Windsifter AirBasic

The Windsifter AirBasic® is part of the latest generation of mobile windsifter technology from Westeria®. It is the result of the innovative continuous development of the patented Westeria® windsifter technology that provides superior separation and contaminant removal. The AirBasic® windsifter shows all its skills and advantages when you have to separate various types of waste such as construction waste, compost, household waste, slags or scrap material. Hundreds of improved details and new ideas have resulted in a persuasive next step in mobile windsifter technology.

With the AirBasic®, the worldwide proven Westeria® air separation technology fits into just one 40 foot high cube container. Due to the robust construction made of solid steel, even the hardest applications such as construction waste are no problem to handle.

Windsifter AirLift

Operators of composting plants know the problem all too well: Organic household waste is often contaminated with foil and packaging waste. With the AirLift, Westeria®’s technicians and engineers have developed a unit that can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems. The AirLift system comprises three segments: The high speed transport belt, which feeds in the material at a speed of up to 4 meters per second. This is in turn connected to the AirWheel. Westeria® has rigorously built upon their years of experience in the wind sifter field in order to achieve clean separation of materials of virtually the same weight. And in conjunction with the AirWheel, the AirLift also perfectly demonstrates its abilities when processing PET bottles Light plastics and label paper are perfectly separated. Wherever materials with a very similar, specific density need to be separated precisely, the AirLift is your ideal choice!

Windsifter AirStar

The windsifters from Westeria® are designed to be rugged, powerful and energy-efficient. A powerful method to separate heavy and light materials is what sets the patented Westeria® windsifter technology apart.

In the windsifter, the materials are separated by a process that is divided into three main components: the acceleration belt, the air jet and the windsifter separation drum. With its uniform and single-layer distribution of the input material, which is distributed homogeneously across the entire width of the windsifter and fed to the feeding belt, the windsifter achieves excellent separating results.

The material in the windsifter is accelerated to an adapted speed here and transported to the ejection edge. The materials falling from above get into an upcurrent that is generated through an adjustable air jet that is attached in the windsifter underneath the feeding belt. The airstream meets the upper area of the rotation drum in the windsifter and is fed through it into the expansion chamber with the laminar flow.

The material in the windsifter meets the air flow and is separated into light and heavy materials. The light materials are transported with an air flow with high speed into the expansion chamber, where the air speed is reduced so much that the light materials reach a container or a discharge belt. The heavy materials fall down from the rotation drum in the windsifter into a container or onto a discharge belt.

The air volume brought into the expansion chamber is removed again in the upper section of the windsifter and, depending on the individual application, is once more drawn in by the blower or routed into a filter system. To retain high-grade recycling raw materials, Westeria® has designed a special windsifter to unerringly sort the input material into three fractions with a high degree of selectivity.

AirLift® move

Free from all impurities - more flexible than ever before!

Now also mobile! Westeria’s proven technology of the AirLift windsifter is now more flexible than ever. The AirLift move brings effective separation to any location. The ultra-light separator is already widely used as a stand-alone version for the removal of impurities. Materials with similar specific densities are easily separated by the unit For compost processors, the AirLift move therefore enables the effective and efficient removal of films from the valuable organic material.

ADVANTAGES

Ecostar Technology

DDS: Dynamic Disc Screening

Unique in its kind, DDS is based on a series of shafts equipped with hexagonal or octagonal discs, with a flat profile, made of Hardox to guarantee maximum resistance. Thanks to this design, the material flows on the screen’s discs and is subjected to a jolting movement that separates the waste. The undersized material drops below the screening surface, passing through the gaps between the discs while the oversized material advances to the end of the screening plane. The result is a clean fraction, ready for recycling processing.

Anti Wrapping systems: The drive shaft is protected by highly resistant loose sleeves which are independent of the rotation of the shaft itself. This prevents long and stringy parts of the material being screened from getting wrapped around the shaft. This optimizes the separation and significantly reduces downtime.

HDDS: Hyper Dynamic Disc Screening

HDDS is the Ecostar technology for the separation of particularly difficult waste containing long and stringy materials, such as bags and plastic straps used for packaging, which can wrap around the shafts, or plastic bottles that can get stuck during the screening process.

Anti Wrapping & Anti Clogging

Thanks to its special flap, Hyper DDS technology is able to hook bags or stringy materials that could become wrapped around the screening shafts by pushing them forward and keeping them over the screening surface. Its jolting movement enables the optimization of the separation process of materials such as plastic bottles and cans, so as to obtain a superior quality of the screened fractions for their subsequent processing.

SWAT: Screening Width Adjustment Technology

SWAT discs consist of two semicircles with a double spiral which are mounted in series directly on the drive shaft between the hexagonal discs Depending on the positioning of the SWAT discs, it is possible to configure different screening sections, ranging from 150 mm to 200 mm or from 200 mm to 100 mm, in just a few minutes. The installation can be carried out on site on operational DDS screens with screening sections starting at 100 mm and above.

The double spiral shape pushes large materials upward, separating the oversize from the undersize more efficiently. In addition, the risk of material wrapping around the shaft is minimized and the quality of the separation is increased.

Located near Gothenburg in Sweden, for over 30 years Flexus BalaSystem has been involved in the design, engineering and manufacturing of sustainable technical solutions.

Flexus pioneered & developed the unique heavy-duty, all-in-one round baling & wrapping technology, and today with hundreds of installations worldwide in nearly 50 countries on 5 continents, they are proud to have built a solid #greentech reputation for durability, cost efficiency and operational safety.

A brief history:

The two brothers Jan and Bo Ansbjer founded Bala Industri in 1983, manufacturing equipment for material handling of agricultural products. In 1992 Bala developed a first new round bale press for waste materials, and in 1993 it was decided to focus entirely on the waste industry and the company name was changed to Bala Press AB. From 1999 to 2002 the company was part of the ATLE Group/Sweden. In 2003 the Ansbjer brothers took over Bala Press AB and renamed it Flexus Balasystem AB. In 2007 Flexus moved to the newly built premises in Nossebro/Sweden, and since 2015 Flexus is wholly-owned by Bo Ansbjer.

Given the worldwide drive towards sustainable waste solutions and renewable energies, Flexus is all geared and ready to continuously adjust its manufacturing capacity and growth, and to retain its well-known short delivery times and technical support for their worldwide customers.

EQUIPMENT:

Flexus is the pioneer in industrial-scale all-in one round-baling & wrapping solutions, for the compaction and volume reduction of a wide range of applications: MSW, RDF/SRF, landfill management & remediation, transfer stations, Waste-to-Energy and incineration facilities, biomass, C&I waste, ASR, tires, pulp, ashes.

Since 1995, Flexus heavy-duty round-baling systems have a solid reputation for being flexible, easy to operate, low and predictable operating costs, and being service friendly; the small footprint and the mobility of Flexus round balers make it a perfect choice, either as a standalone machine or for processes. Flexus round bales are highly space-efficient when it comes to stacking, storage and transport of baled & wrapped materials.

The Flexus baling system is available in three variations, for different needs and capacities:

TYPHOON BALING SYSTEM

For higher capacities up to 30-35 bales/hour (up to 50 t/h) and 40 kW of power.

BREEZE BALING SYSTEM

For medium size projects up to 15 bales/hour (up to 15 t/h) and 35 kW of power.

BREEZE MINI BALING SYSTEM

For small capacities of up to 5 bales/hour (up to 7 t/h) and 25 kW of power, e.g. on small islands or in remote places.

TYPHOON

Flexus Typhoon integrated baling and wrapping technology

The Typhoon is the successor to the widely sold and highly popular Tornado model. The Typhoon is a high capacity baler, conservatively rated at a baling capacity of 30 bales/hour, but with good O&M can comfortably reach 35+ bales/hour = up to 50 tons/hour for MSW applications, with a power consumption of up to 40 kW only.

The Typhoon heavy-duty baler is perfect choice to cost-efficiently handle a wide range of applications including: MSW, WtE, transport and shipping of RDF/SRF, biomass, landfill remediation, C&I, recyclables, disaster clean-ups, tires, ASR, ashes and high-value agricultural products i.e. beet pulp etc.

From installation to production within one day:

With its small foot print and compact layout, Flexus balers do not require extensive civil works for installation and operations, the first installation only takes one working day.

The integrated round baling and wrapping systems have always been designed for easy transport, quick installation and dismantling. The combination conveyor is equipped with its own hydraulic system facilitating easy installation and dismantling. Both the baling and wrapping as well as the conveyor modules are mounted on hook lift frames. The Typhoon baler’s mobility is a perfect choice for large landfill sites, MSW and RDF at different locations as well as for baling and wrapping contractors: arriving at the new site, the Flexus system generally is back in full production within two hours.

Flexus balers have always been designed to be service friendly; the Typhoon is easy to maintain – thereby increasing productivity and cost efficiency.

All measurements are approximations. Variations may occur depending on configuration.

BREEZE

High efficiency waste processing for medium sized projects

The Breeze model is suitable for medium sized projects of up to 20 tons per hour (15 bales/hour), requiring no more than around 35 kW of power. Excellent efficiency for sites that doesn’t require continuous operation 24 hours per day, but still need high reliability.

The Breeze baling system has a bottom-mounted wrapping unit and is available only with bale ejection to the side, unlike the Typhoon model. There are dual feeding conveyors for easier loading and to increase the capacity of the baler. Finished bales are ejected onto a bale conveyor that holds up to 3 finished bales.

All baling systems are heavy duty, and for many installations the Breeze baler is a very good fit.

Suitable for baling: MSW, RDF, SRF, recyclables.

All measurements are approximations Variations may occur depending on configuration

BREEZE MINI

Waste processing for small islands or remote locations

The Breeze Mini handles up to 7 tons per hour (5 bales/hour) at around 25 kW of power, making it a perfect fit for smaller installations, e.g. on small islands or in remote places. High reliability for seasonal or irregular operation, with high energy efficiency as an added bonus.

The Breeze Mini is equipped with a bottom-mounted wrapping unit, bale ejection to the side and a single feeding conveyor making it the smallest of our baling systems. The finished bales are ejected onto a roller conveyor that holds a single bale.

All baling systems are heavy duty, and for smaller projects the Breeze Mini will give you many years of reliable service.

Suitable for baling: MSW, RDF, SRF, recyclables.

All measurements are approximations. Variations may occur depending on configuration.

ACCESSORIES

Considering that Flexus baling systems are heavy duty machines we feel that to maintain a problem free workflow, all the parts of the workflow need to be able to handle the job at hand. For that reason, their accessories are just as heavy duty, and capable of handling almost anything you throw at them.

BALE GRAB

Flexus’ own bale grab fits almost all loaders, and is constructed to be capable of coping with the continuous heavy loads of handling the finished bales. Developed and built by Flexus, these are a lot stronger than your normal agricultural version.

BALE OPENER

For opening bales, Flexus has developed its own bale opener that fits almost any loader, making it easy to swap out the bale grab for a bale opener when the time comes to open the bales for incineration or further processing when needed. Like the bale grab, the bale opener is developed and built entirely by Flexus to withstand the heavy loads of continuous waste management.

SPILLAGE CONVEYOR

For stationary or semi-stationary installations, Flexus provides spillage conveyors that makes it easy to handle any spilled materials, automatically transporting it back to the feeding conveyor to be fed into the baling chamber.

Re-Compounding

The MAS Series of Extruders offers a wide range of production capacity from 200 lbs/hour to 6000 lbs/hour (depending on model, polymer and other variables). Compact, robust, durable Thanks to the conical design MAS has been able to construct an extruder with extremely large back pressure bearings that allow a high torque input into the extruder screws especially in the area where it is needed most (Melt Section) The screw diameter in the feed section is approximately twice as big as the pump section of the screw.

Configurations

The MAS Cascading Extruder

The MAS Cascade Extruder makes it possible to reprocess materials (heavily printed materials, recycled materials with high contamination levels etc.) that are difficult to de-gas on conventional extrusion lines. he Cascade extruder works in conjunction with an upstream Extruder (preferably MAS twin-screw extruder) to reprocess and de-gas the material after the melt filtration.

Depending on the size, the MAS Cascade Extruder is equipped with 2 or 3 vent ports and a melt distribution system to increase the degassing efficiency. With a MAS Cascading system, the two processes of Recycling and Re-Compounding can be combined into ONE STEP.

The MAS Laboratory Extruder

The MAS 24 LABORATORY EXTRUDER is the only conical & co-rotating twin screw extruder available for small volume applications. This technology enables the customer to process a wider range of materials including recycled materials on a laboratory scale. It is also ideal for small-scale high-end polymer compounding applications.

If it is used in conjunction with MAS Processing Extruders (MAS 45-93) the results from the laboratory can be transferred to production without recreating recipes.

The MAS CDF Continuous Melt Filtration

Wood, paper, aluminum foil, non-melting polymers etc. are very common impurities in the plastic recycling industry. Conventional filter systems using mesh screens are usually unable to cope with even small amounts of these impurities. The MAS CDF continuous melt filter separates contamination such as paper, wood, aluminum or rubber efficiently and can deal with large amounts of contaminants in the melt stream (up to 5%). A melt pressure-controlled scraper system removes the contamination from the surface of a rotating screen disc into a discharge screw system. The impurities are discharged continuously from the CDF, while the filtered melt continues to flow downstream to the pelletizing system, profile or sheet die. The melt inside of the filter automatically controls the function of the scraper as well as the speed of the screen and discharge screw(s).

Kreyenborg has been a global partner and solution provider to the plastic industry for more than 50 years. In addition to innovative turnkey solutions for bulk material handling, the core competence of Kreyenborg is in the fields of drying, crystallization, storage, mixing, conveying and dosing of plastics.

The Infrared Drying Technology offers the ability to dry and crystalize materials in minutes compared to hours with conventional drying equipment which reduces change over time significantly and reduces energy consumption drastically.

www.kreyenborg.com/en

The KREYENBORG IR Dryers can heat, dry and crystallize in one-step

The heating of pellets and/or regrind (PVC, PET, PE, PP, etc.) prior to extrusion helps to significantly increase the capacity of the downstream equipment.

When PET, PLA PEEK, PPS, PBT or other materials are processed in the Kreyenborg IR the material can be crystallized in the same step. Even so the process has a short residency time compared to conventional dryers; the material can be dried from >1% moisture to less than 300 PPM within 15 to 20 minutes.

The IR Process also allows the coating of adhesives in the system (hot melt, EVA and lime, etc.)

Through this thermal process it is possible to also remove volatiles from the material that is dried. With the IR-CLEAN® system, KREYENBORG offers an attractive and cost-effective alternative for the direct reprocessing of PET post-consumer flakes for food packaging. This process has been awarded a LNO from the FDA and is also EFSA compliant. etc.)

The KREYENBORG Infrared Dryer Function

The energy is instantaneously brought into the core of the product by short-wave infrared radiation. The heat flow pushes the moisture from the inside towards the outside of the material ensuring a homogeneous drying of the material inside out. Since the material is constantly in motion the evaporated moisture is immediately taken away from the rotating drum. The constant motion also exposes huge surface area of the material to the IR Radiation which ensures an instant heat up process. The rotating drum has an internal spiral that is equipped with mixing elements ensuring a constant mixing process that avoids any material clumping and furthermore ensures that the material is heated evenly throughout the process. Combined with the low rotational speed of the drum the material will not be damaged throughout the process. The speed of the process and the final moisture content of the product can be adjusted by the rotational speed. All functions are controlled through a simple HMI, that allows the storage of recipes and monitors exhaust air temperatures, fill levels, etc. The system will self adjust if parameters deviate from the set points.

The IR-Radiator module

The Kreyenborg radiator module has been specifically developed for the Infrared dryer and has been thermally and fluidic optimized for the process It is continuously by the airflow through the dryer A special ceramic ensures optimum utilization of infrared light which increases the efficiency of the technology. To protect the IR Radiators from moisture, dust particles, etc, Kreyenborg has developed an Air-Shield around it.

KREYENBORG offers continuous and batch processing IR Dryers

For large scale production environments, the continuous process is ideal since it ensures production without interruption In this process the equipment is automatically filled by a volumetric dosing system. Throughout the rotating drum the material is evenly mixed and thermally treated. The process takes only minutes compared to conventional drying methods that take hours.

We offer systems with capacities that range from 50 lbs/hour to 11,000 lbs/hour.

For lower capacity applications Kreyenborg offers a batch process as well

With the IR-FRESH® system, KREYENBORG has developed a high-performance, innovative and costeffective technology for the odor reduction in post-consumer plastics – without using vacuum, and as a retrofit solution for existing extrusion lines.

IR-FRESH® ODOR REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY IN POST-CONSUMER PLASTICS

Post-consumer plastic packaging has absorbed odors due to its direct contact to food, cleaning agents, chemicals, cosmetics, fuel, etc. These migrated substances are not completely removable during the washing phase. So, in support of the recycling process chain, odor reduction is a critical step to guarantee a high-quality end product.

EXTRUDER FEEDING SYSTEMS

Densifier KSW type

The Densifier KSW type is used for extruders with not-optimally-free-flowing products such as ground material, punching ribbon, powder, agglomerates, film flakes and fibers.

Filling: The material to be processed, is fed into the feed hopper of the densifier.

Options

Lifting system

The filling level of the KSW is monitored with a level-indicator If necessary, the material is loosened up in the bin by means of special agitators and scrapers.

The material is pre-compacted via the densifying screw.

The compaction of the material via densifying screw and the feeding of the extruder with constant pressure ensures optimal loading of the extruder with material.

100 – 4.000 kg/h (film flakes) 200 – 9 000 kg/h (powder)

The densifiers may be equipped with a hydraulicallyoperated lifting system with manually-operated pump. This device ensures the quick and easy lifting and swinging away of the aggregates from the extruder for easier cleaning and maintenance.

Coating

Special coatings of the bin and of the densifying screw for products that tend to stick.

Special feed hopper

The Densifier KSW type is used for extruders with not-optimally-free-flowing products such as ground material, punching ribbon, powder, agglomerates, film flakes and fibers

Filling: The material to be processed, is fed into the feed hopper of the densifier.

Volumetric metering system. VDOS type

Volumetric dosing of the VDOS series are perfectly suited for dosing of bulk materials with good- to moderate flowability

No additional thermal stress of the material is caused, absent intermediate granulation, by direct refeeding.

At the end of the film line, the edge trims are ground and fed into the special feed hopper. Simultaneously, granulate can be conveyed into the same hopper over a second inlet pipe

Regrinds of edge trims/production waste and granules can be mixed by means of a screw.

An adjustable feeding screw ensures constant feeding of the extruder.

EKS Electrostatic Plastic Separator

Hamos EKS electrostatic separators make use of the differences in tribo-electric behavior of individual plastics. The plastic mixture is fed via a vibrating conveyor into a tribo-electric charging unit. Different plastics are charged here according to the specific properties of the material, taking on either a positive or negative charge. After charging, the mixture enters a high-tension field where the components are separated electrostatically into pure sorted fractions, determined by their different charges. Positive particles are attracted by a negative electrode, while negative particles are rejected and vice versa.

With the hamos EKS you can separate mixed plastics waste into individual fractions using electrostatic separation, as well as separate out undesired plastic contamination. The hamos EKS takes advantage of the differing tribo-electric properties of different plastics, separating these materials into 99.5% pure sorted fractions This allows recycled mixed plastics waste to be used as quality raw material in new high-grade products. For proper processing, hamos systems require a few different parameters to work best. There must be two distinct and separate materials in the mixture (no composites), the material must be dry, dust free, and have a particle size of ~10mm

Plastic production waste

Cable production waste

PVC window profiles

KWS Electrostatic Metal Separator

Don’t run plastic/plastic mixtures? Well don’t worry because hamos has a solution The KWS can even separate plastic/metal mixtures such as e-waste with no headaches.

The hamos KWS separates conductive from non-conductive materials The mixture is introduced via a vibrating conveyor to a rotating metal drum. Inside this process is also a 35,000-volt electrode that is constantly charging the materials. The metal loses its charge very quickly to the drum and is ejected by the rotational momentum, while the plastic loses its charge much slower, allowing for a very clean separation of the different materials.

For proper processing, hamos systems require a few different parameters to work best. There must be two distinct and separate materials in the mixture (no composites), the material must be dry, dust free, and have a particle size of ~10mm.

APPLICATIONS

Mixtures of metal and non-conductive materials

Cable waste
