Treatment of Municipal Waste

Volume reduction - Waste splitting

Waste treatment technologies from KOMPTECH comply with the broad range of technical innovations used globally within waste treatment.

 

Volume reduction is often the first stage in well-regulated waste treatment. Saving on landfill volumes, reduction of transportation costs and the necessity for shredding prior to subsequent recycling stages all make the use of the shredder a sensible option.

 

For separation of fractions for material recycling or energy recovery out from the waste stream, a shredding process for homogenisation is generally necessary as the first stage in the treatment process. In the subsequent screening stage, separation follows according to particle size – also according to density when used in conjunction with ballistic sifting.
