Waste product can be very valuable! A wide variety of materials that are considered to be waste can in most cases be transformed into valuable recycled materials. Among many production processes, pelleting can give a significant added value to these types of products.
We offer a full range of pelleting, grinding, mixing and screening equipment to handle the processing of many dry materials.

Rotary Knife Cutter
Hammermills
Pelletmills
Why should we pelletize waste?
In the pelleting process, loose material is converted into compressed material. As a result of the pressure and heat applied to the substances, the density of the material is increased by a factor of up to 10, in pellets with diameters of 3mm up to 30mm. This results in great advantages in handling the waste, better storage, and significant savings in transportation costs.
Waste pellets as bioenergy
Waste material mixtures containing of many high calorific value products, such as paper/plastic and other foreign materials like silica, can make this product a valuable type of pellet for the bioenergy industry. By using renewable forms of energy, it is possible to reduce the dependency of fossil fuel pellets to fill the gap for heating and electricity.
Waste pellets recycled into new products
Waste pellets made of pure, surplus materials or, in other words, waste materials consisting of only one type of product, such as celluloses, plastic mainly coming from production processes, can be made suitable for many types of application. Clean plastic materials are often applied in molding processes for new types of furniture. The molding process demands stable pellets at built densities of approx. 400kg which improves the molding process significantly.
