Successful tests with air suction and plastic waste

 

There are many different types of plastic and sometimes it is a difficult task to remove them all. Air suction is a multi-purpose technology that can be a great option for getting clean fractions of materials, both organic and inorganic. We are currently testing it to see what it does best and we have the opportunity to try it on many materials. If you have any material you want to test drive, you are always welcome to contact us.

For example, separating plastic from unsorted construction waste can, alongside other technologies, produce a fossil-free fuel made from wood. By blowing plastic out of compost waste, the soil can be reused for soil production and planting instead of being piled up in a landfill. The process also makes it possible to separate wood and sticks separately, resulting in a pure biofuel.

 

  • By adding air suction, cleaner fractions can be recovered.
  • New technology to deal with unsorted construction waste containing plastic

 

There are currently many different flows that contain unwanted plastic where we can now remove the plastic to obtain clean fractions. The material can then be recycled or contribute to increased energy recovery. It's all about getting clean fractions and materials that can then be recycled.

We are excited to see what else we can do with this technology and look forward to testing it on your materials.

Waste compactors launched in heavier models for tougher jobs

TANA's unique full-width drum compactors, rigid frame and large crusher teeth ensure optimal compaction results. The new H-Series models manage waste cost-effectively, offering maximum compaction and disposal capacity with low operating costs.

The new H-series includes models in the range of 38-52 tons: H380 and H380eco, H450 and H450eco, and H520 and H520eco. The H-series models have several new and improved features that make them even more efficient and reliable; for example, their speed has been increased to 10 km/h (6.2 mph). 

We have listened to TANA users and paid particular attention to operator comfort. H-series compactors have a spacious cab with excellent visibility in all directions, including rear view cameras. A comfortable driver's seat and ergonomic controls ensure excellent working comfort. The TANA Control System (TCS) features a new user interface that further improves driveability and machine operation. The menu is clear and easy to use, and it quickly displays dials for speed, rpm and engine load. The user interface features a graphic touch screen and offers the operator extensive adjustment and diagnostic options.

All TANA landfill compactors are equipped with TANA ProTrack®. An information management system that connects the machine to a computer network. This easy-to-use tool facilitates maintenance and provides real-time information on machine performance and status. The TANA ProTrack® information management system can be used on a tablet, smartphone or computer.

New climate requirements for excavated materials but we already have the solutions

The handling and excavation of new excavated soil leads to an unnecessarily large climate impact. The procurement authority has therefore developed new sustainability criteria for excavation materials that can be used in procurement and project planning.

Sustainability criteria for excavated soil - good in many ways

- "Our experience is that there are major economic and environmental benefits to be gained from increased recycling of excavated soil. We therefore welcome these new durability criteria for excavation materials and are ready with the technical solutions to deliver to those who will handle materials according to the new requirements", says Daniel Carlberg, CEO of Norditek Group.

According to the procurement authority, the climate impact of the construction sector must be significantly reduced and contracting organizations can make a difference by setting higher sustainability requirements when making purchases. Therefore, criteria have been developed for the handling of rock, sand, gravel and other excavation materials. The requirements should help to increase the reuse of masses and reduce the associated transports. Norditek has extensive experience in recycling excavation masses and topsoil and we are ready to deliver the technical solutions that meet the new requirements.

For example, see how our Terex Washing Systems machines recycle excavated soil in Belgium.
