Austria: Saubermacher Dienstleistungs has ordered a XR3000C shredder from Untha for the single-stage processing of commercial and household waste at a sorting plant in Vienna. The Styrian-based waste and recycling company produces refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for the cement industry. The company’s main requirement was that the RDF should have a particle size of less than 80mm and be produced by means of a single-stage shredding process, rather than a two-stage shredding process with coarse and fine shredding. Saubermacher Dienstleistungs wanted a machine with a throughput of at least 20t/hr. It also chose the XR3000C model for its energy efficiency.

Penn Waste is receiving the award for its York, Pennsylvania 45t/hr single stream system retrofit. The 2017 retrofit, provided by Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), boosted capacity 130% to 45t/hr. It also added NRT optical sorting technology and a Max-AI Autonomous Quality Control (AQC) robotic sorter to improve container recovery and purity. The improvements resulted in a facility able to process 18,000t/month with more than 98% uptime and capturing 98% of recyclables. Penn Waste said that the company did not lose a single ton during the speedy retrofit and has since been running at 100% capacity with lower operating costs.

The award will be presented at SWANA’s annual conference in August 2018.
