Innovation Spotlight: Revolutionising Recycling with Recycling Kombinatie
In the heart of Rotterdam, Netherlands, a revolutionary venture is underway – the recommissioning of a state-of-the-art recycling plant by HAZEMAG for Recycling Kombinatie. This plant is not just a facility; it’s a symbol of innovation and sustainability, aimed at transforming construction and demolition waste into valuable resources.
Customer: Recycling Kombinatie Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands Year of Commissioning: 2003 & 2024
Maximising Operational Continuity
January 2023: Extensive Inspection Sets the Stage for Success
A comprehensive inspection of the entire recycling plant, with particular emphasis on the first apron feeder, was conducted in January 2023. The aim of this meticulous examination was to ensure optimal performance and to identify any potential maintenance or repair needs.
February 2023: Preparation and Readiness for the Future
Following the inspection, a package of spare parts was ordered and refurbishment work planned to address the maintenance requirements identified, and to ensure the plant was prepared for future operation.
April 2023: Overcoming Adversity in the Face of Catastrophe
Unfortunately, a disastrous cable fire in April 2023 resulted in the destruction of the entire plant – except for the HAZEMAG Primary Impact Crusher HPI. This unforeseen incident necessitated swift action to evaluate the situation and to determine the best course of action.
April 2023: Critical Decisions in the Wake of Disaster
In the aftermath of the devastating fire, a critical decision had to be made regarding the future of the recycling plant. Options considered included: rebuilding the plant, implementing a mobile solution, or acquiring a used machine from another source.
May 2023: A Vision Reborn: The Decision to Rebuild
After careful deliberation, and a thorough assessment of HAZEMAG’s recommendations, Recycling Kombinatie opted to rebuild the plant. This decision by our valued customer underscored their confidence in our expertise and commitment to providing the best possible solution.
January 2024: Rebirth and Reassembly: Milestones of Success
Fast forward to January 2024, and assembly of the plant was successfully completed, marking a significant milestone in the rebuilding process. Subsequently, both cold and hot commissioning phases were initiated, ensuring that the plant was meticulously tested and calibrated for optimal performance.
Conclusion: Triumph in the Face of Adversity
The journey from inspection to commissioning exemplifies our unwavering dedication to the support of our customers throughout their operational challenges. Despite the setbacks encountered, our team’s expertise and commitment to service excellence prevailed; culminating in the successful rebuilding and restoration of the recycling plant. As we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of aftersales support, we are steadfast in our resolve to maximise customers’ operational continuity and to ensure satisfaction at every step of the journey.
Efficiency Unleashed: Designing for Success
At the core of this endeavor lies a singular purpose – to process construction and demolition (C&D) waste efficiently and effectively. Designed to handle various materials like building rubble, concrete, and broken asphalt paving, the plant boasts a remarkable capacity of up to 1,000 tonnes per hour, without the need for pre-crushing.
A Symphony of Processes: Inside the Recycling Plant
Step by step, the recycling plant orchestrates the transformation of waste into reusable materials:
Feed Material: From rubble to other resources, the plant handles a diverse range of C&D waste materials.
Crushing Power: The HAZEMAG Impact Crusher, equipped with the innovative “GSK Rotor”, pulverises materials to produce a final product of 80% <45mm.
Customised Design: Tailored to Recycling Kombinatie’s needs, the plant’s design maximises operational efficiency and minimises maintenance requirements.
Unveiling the Special Design Feature: The GSK Rotor
A standout feature of the plant is the utilisation of the “GSK Rotor” in the impact crusher. This cutting-edge design allows for direct processing of large materials, eliminating the need for pre-crushing, and enhancing overall efficiency.
Customer Delight: Recycling Kombinatie Speaks Out
“The plant is now running like a Rolls Royce, and due to the optimisation works, and changes in the plant concept, we have saved 3 belts and 1 chute. The replacement feeder for the previous screen is one third cheaper. In total, we have saved approximately €500,000 in investment volume. Additionally, this has reduced future maintenance and electricity costs which supports our sustainable vision. The collaboration between HAZEMAG, Recycling Kombinatie and electrical and programming company, Duim, was a perfect match for this project. The communication, adherence to delivery deadlines, and overall cooperation were simply perfect. A recycling system with state-of-the-art technology and individual design for the customer”, confirms Recycling Kombinatie. This statement encapsulates the customer’s satisfaction with the plant’s advanced technology and HAZEMAG’s personalised approach.
