02Challenges
What this material demands of the technology.
Security level
The required particle size determines cutting unit and screen. It follows from the protection class of the data.
Mixed deliveries
Binders, clips, films and data carriers often arrive together. The technology must tolerate or remove metal parts.
Volume & dust
Paper is bulky and dusty. Enclosed conveying, extraction and compaction keep the hall clean.
Traceability
From reception to filling, the material's route should be controlled and documentable.
Typical input material
- 01Files and binders
- 02Paper and cardboard
- 03Data carriers
- 04Films and packaging residues
Typical goals
- →Particles of a defined size
- →Bales or filled containers
- →Removed metals
- →Raw material for paper recycling
03Suitable technologies
Technology that suits this material.
01Shred.
Shredding technology
The heart of every processing line. Single- and multi-shaft shredders, chippers and mills – matched to your material and the particle size the next step needs.
02Convey.
Conveying technology
Belt, chain, screw and vibrating conveyors sized in length, width and capacity to the material flow – turning machines into a plant.
04Separate.
Separation technology
Removing metals, stones and contaminants selectively – for pure, homogeneous fractions of high value.
05Store.
Storage technology
Bunkers, silos and top loaders buffer between processing and consumption – for high availability and smooth operation.
06Dose.
Dosing technology
Discharge by push floor, screw or vibration: a steady, controlled material stream for boiler, press or kiln.

05FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Which security level can the plant reach?
That depends on the cutting unit and screen size. We design the plant for the protection class your customers require.
02Can data carriers be processed too?
Depending on the type of carrier, yes – often in a separate line or batch. We clarify this based on your material mix.
03How is the destroyed material filled?
Depending on the recycling route, into bales or directly into containers. We plan the filling as part of the plant – with suitable conveying and storage.
