The Dutch company VAR B.V.
(www.var.nl) in Twello, The Netherlands, has recently put a new WFC 2000 / 12000
single shaft granulator (Illustration) from WEIMA Maschinenbau GmbH, Ilsfeld
into operation at its location in Spijk. The company uses this high performance
granulator in particular for secondary granulation of highly calorific waste,
especially carpets, into quality assured alternative fuels. The design concept
of the machine does justice to a large extent to the continually increasing
requirements for higher and higher throughput performance and smaller particle
size, especially for customers in the power generating and cement industries.
The working width of the rotors of the new WFC 2000 / 1200 secondary granulator
amounts to 2,000 mm with the rotor diameter of 1,200 mm. The power rating is 400
kW and the overall weight approx. 45 t. Throughput performance amounts to approx.
15-17 t/h with granulate particle size of 20 mm.
Demand in the “replacement fuels” business unit has presently grown strongly
across Europe. The team that is responsible here for providing the best possible
customer support has been strengthened at the beginning of 2006 with two
experienced employees. The share of turnover achieved here presently lies at
around 30%. alongside the conventional granulation and briquetting products in
the “plastics and recycling” and “wood” business units. WEIMA Holding expects
further growth in turnover of 25 percent in 2006. Among others, these positive
expectations are also supported by the development of a WEIMA primary granulator
for this application area. |
