Recycling Industry: Robust technology for the resource cycle of the future
In the recycling industry, process air performs central tasks in the transport, sorting, and energy recovery of recyclables. Whether in the pneumatic conveying of shredded material, the air sorting (classification) of plastics, or ventilation in biomass and waste incineration plants – the air technology must withstand extreme loads from dust, moisture, and abrasiveness. Quality Made in Germany ensures the necessary robustness here to economically meet demanding environmental standards.
Challenges and risks due to wear and dust
The biggest challenges in the recycling industry are the high load of process air with abrasive particles and the risk of dust explosions when processing plastics or metals. In addition, chemical recycling processes often require corrosion-resistant materials. A failure of the extraction or sorting fans leads to an immediate standstill of the entire separation line, which massively reduces productivity and can cause disposal bottlenecks. In incineration plants, a failure of the primary or secondary air fans jeopardizes compliance with statutory emission limit values and can lead to expensive fines or officially ordered shutdowns.
Solutions and retrofit expertise: Durability in the material flow
Siempelkamp Industrial Fans offers specialized material handling fans for these harsh conditions, featuring reinforced, wear-protected impellers that safely move even sharp-edged conveyed material. Our industrial dampers and slide gates are designed for the highest dust loads and prevent the escape of pollutants through gas-tight designs. To minimize noise pollution for the surrounding area, highly effective silencers and acoustic enclosures are integrated into the system.
In the field of retrofitting, we support recycling companies in making their often maintenance-intensive plants more efficient. We optimize third-party brands by installing armored impellers and integrate modern ATEX-compliant protection systems to minimize the risk of explosion. Our full service – from vibration measurement to preventive maintenance – ensures maximum plant availability worldwide and helps to significantly reduce operating costs through the energy optimization of fans that often run in continuous operation.
