Recycling & processing technology
Dosing technology
Discharge by push floor, screw or vibration: a steady, controlled material stream for boiler, press or kiln.
Partner Vecoplan
01Performance
What it does.
Steady flow
A constant material stream stabilises combustion, pressing and downstream processes.
Controllable
Variable-speed drives and level measurement adapt the quantity to the consumer's demand.
The right principle
Push rods, screws or vibration – depending on the material's flow behaviour and piece size.
Interface to the consumer
Planning the transfer to boiler, kiln or press in a coordinated way – including burn-back protection or sealing where needed.

Machine types & parameters.
Typical machine types
- 01
Push-rod discharge
Hydraulic push rods reliably discharge even poorly flowing, fibrous materials from bunkers.
- 02
Dosing screws
Enclosed, finely controllable conveying for shavings, chips, pellets and RDF/SRF.
- 03
Vibratory discharge
Even discharge of free-flowing goods via vibrating troughs.
- 04
Dosing bins & roller feeders
Smaller dosing stations with rollers that even out the flow ahead of the consumer.

Vecoplan
Bad Marienberg, Germany
Since 1969
Systems for shredding, conveying and processing wood, biomass, plastics, paper and household and commercial waste.
The machine technology typically comes from Vecoplan. Vecotrade plans the plant, integrates the machines into your material flow, installs, commissions and remains your point of contact.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
01What is push-rod discharge?
Hydraulically driven push rods on the bunker floor move the material step by step towards the discharge. The principle is robust and also suits fibrous, sticky materials where screws reach their limits.
02How accurately can material be dosed?
It depends on the material and the discharge principle. We define the required accuracy together with the operator of the consuming process – guide value only, project-specific design required.
03Do you also supply furnace feed systems?
Yes. Feeding furnaces and kilns runs through our project history – from the biomass furnace of a CHP plant (2006) to feeding a rotary kiln at a paper mill (2018).
