SOLUTIONS AND PRODUCTS What we offer

Business analysis To find the right solution for the requirements of our customers all over the world, we analyze their plans together with them. Know-how Our employees have wide-ranging expertise in the field of waste treatment – and we‘re happy to share it

Think variety! Our solutions for your success With our solutions for mechanical and biological waste recycling and processing woody biomass, we help our customers make the best use of opportunities, both economic and ecological. Our products range from individual machines to entire processing lines, consisting of mobile and stationary machines, in some applications supplemented by products from our network partners. This flexibility makes us an expert partner for every requirement, be it replacing individual machines, upgrading complete system sections or constructing an entire new...

MIXED WASTE Waste processing for material reclamation The goal of reducing our material footprint through a reuse-centric economy with high recycling rates presents new challenges for the waste industry. Processing lines for mixed municipal waste need to allow for dynamic processes, in order to deliver the most efficient, recyclables-oriented performance. At Komptech we design and dimension recycling facilities to the requirements of the job. The most important factors are the feedstock composition and the sales opportunities for the recyclables. Komptech builds efficient solutions for...

02 Separation Separation is performed by the technology that is most appropriate for the situation, whether maintenance-free spiral shaft separator, compact disc screen or all-purpose drum screen. This step removes the fines, and the remaining material is then ballistically separated into a 2-D and a 3-D fraction. Ferrous and non-ferrous metals are likewise removed from the separated material streams. Sorting cabin 03 Ballistor 02 Splitter NIR sorting Metal separation 03 Sorting Sorting is the final step. Great advances have been made in sorting technology and machinery, for example with...

REFUSE-DERIVED FUELS Refuse-derived fuel production The production and use of refuse-derived fuels (RDF) is central to modern waste management. As legal requirements increasingly restrict the landfilling of untreated waste and at the same time demand higher recycling rates, the use of waste as fuel has become an important factor alongside recycling. We design and build refuse-derived fuel production plants that are configured for the individual requirements of our customers. In system design our focus is either exclusively on making refuse-derived fuels, or also includes the separation of...

02 Screening and separation Fines (usually < 100 mm) obtained from separation by spiral shaft screener can be used as-is as RDF (if in fluidized bed quality), or must first undergo biological treatment, depending on their composition. The remaining high-caloric fraction is freed of glass and stones in a heavy matter separator. Heavy matter separation 02 03 Post-shredding 01 Pre-shredding Pre-shredding with a low-speed shredder opens up the material in an ideal way for downstream screening and separation steps. In the final process step, a post-shredder generates a finished RDF fraction in...

BIOGENIC WASTE Composting biogenic waste Since our founding, we’ve focused intensively on the composting of biogenic waste and residual materials. Our close collaboration with people who work and research in science, agriculture and mechanical engineering results in machines that ensure maximum ecological and economic efficiency, when adapted to local conditions. Our product line extends from mobile machines for open composting plants, to large systems with stationary machines for preparing and packaging the final product. For each case, Komptech offers the necessary knowledge and machines...

02 Rotting process The decomposition and recomposition processes performed by microorganisms are controlled from the outside through ventilation, mixing and irrigation. Composting can be in open-air windrows with regular turning, or indoor in venti lated rotting tunnels, or a combination of the two. Drum screen 03 Hurrikan S Nemus Crambo 01 Axtor 01 Processing Shredding and mixing create a mixture that is ideal for the rotting processes. This can be done with low-speed shredders, or high-speed chippers in the case of green waste. If the input material is highly contaminated feedstock,...

Preparation for dry anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is an economically and ecologically viable treatment method for organic waste with higher moisture. Proper preparation of the feedstock is the key to efficient operation. Biowaste can be turned into energy and compost, often through a combination of anaerobic digestion and subsequent composting. Processing starts with low-speed shredding, typically followed by magnetic separation and screening by star screen. In screening into two fractions the undersize fraction (mostly <60 to 90 mm) becomes the input material for anaerobic...

01 Pre-shredding By selecting the right combination of teeth, screen baskets and drum speed, the Crambo dual-shaft shredder can be configured to give exactly the desired shred, opening up all bags and packages as completely as possible while minimizing the shredding of these contaminants. A modular system for setup, material feed, discharge and control offers numerous options for almost any requirement. Magnet separation Wind sifter Multistar 2-SE/3-SE 02 03 Crambo Automatic sorting 02 Screening A Multistar star screen downstream of the shredder can be set for exact separation of the shred,...

WOODY BIOMASS Processing biomass into renewable fuel Woody biomass plays a key role in the transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy. With the right machinery, waste wood, agricultural and forestry waste can all be turned into marketable fuels. Companies formerly working in disposal can use this to add energy production to their portfolio. Low- or high-speed shredders, flexible star screens and – where needed – high-performance stone separators are the key components for efficient fuel production. The customers are biomass heating and cogeneration plants, who need a low-cost fuel with...
