Rapid development for the company that wants to be the best
Telge Återvinning wants to be the best in Sweden and has gotten off to a flying start with its flexible plant from Norditek. One windshifter quickly became two and the flexible plant now runs many different materials with both a higher production rate and degree of processing.
Tommy Johansson at Telge Återvinning appreciates the Norditectrap: From test to best.
Becoming a technology supplier to someone with the goal of becoming the best in Sweden, that's a big boost. From the start, Telge Återvinning chose a Screening plants from Norditek with the flexibility to handle both waste and materials such as gravel and rock. In addition, various magnetic solutions were implemented to optimize the recycling of valuable metal fractions, as well as a windshifter to increase the processing rate of other important fractions. Telge Återvinning has now expanded its plant with an additional windshifter and a conveyor, in order to continue to grow in capacity and processing rate. In addition, a slow-moving crusher is occasionally used to prepare certain materials for further processing.
Tommy Johansson, Head of the Materials Recycling Department at Telge Återvinning, was pleased with the collaboration from the very beginning: “We are very pleased with the results we’re seeing today. Andreas Pettersson at Norditek has shown impressive patience throughout this journey. We began testing the technology a year ago to ensure it would meet our expectations. Norditek, together with its service partner, has delivered.”
From test to best - how to get the best material quality in recycling
Andreas Pettersson, Norditek’s Mälardalen manager, has been the key figure behind the demonstration of Norditek’s flexible modular system and technology. He explains: “At first, we conducted test runs with all kinds of materials and found that our solutions worked under all conditions. The plant stands out for its capacity and flexibility, as it can handle everything from waste bins to materials such as soil, foundry sand, and rock. In addition, we can easily switch to the rock bin to handle tough materials like rock and concrete.”
Telge Återvinning has a clear focus on collecting and processing waste in an economic and environmentally friendly way. The collaboration with Norditek has enabled an increased degree of processing for several materials and at the same time an increase in the capacity of their plant.
Tommy Johansson goes on to explain: “Our ’s current facility has struggled to reach the desired capacity, which led us to begin exploring new solutions. For example, we have improved topsoil production, and thanks to the new facility and the windshifter module, we can now handle plastic contaminants in Our garden compost. We’ve also seen benefits from using Norditek’s water bath for stump processing to produce cleaner material. In addition, we’ve optimized Our foundry sand processing by removing metals, thanks to the magnetic separation solutions supplied by Norditek. We’re now also accepting mixed construction and demolition waste, which opens up even more opportunities.”
In this application, Telge Återvinning is running a compost project where an additional 50 percent topsoil is extracted. The sorting plant has the flexibility to handle both waste and materials such as gravel and rock. Here it is run together with a windshifter.
New trend in recycling
Norditek has identified a growing demand among waste owners who want plants that can be customized to their specific needs. Norditek offers a complete solution, including training, start-up and aftermarket support, to ensure that production is as efficient and profitable as possible.
Andreas Pettersson sums it up: “We’re seeing a strong trend where waste owners want to take responsibility for managing their own materials and solving their unique challenges. We’re here to provide support through test runs, training on various machines, service agreements, and comprehensive after-sales support to ensure efficient production.”
With Norditek's flexible modular system and various separation techniques, including wind screening, density separation and various magnetic separation solutions, Telge Återvinning is well equipped to take the next step in its journey to become the best in recycling in Sweden. At Norditek, we look forward to continuing to help towards their ambitious vision of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future for Mälardalen and Sweden.
Tommy Johansson explains the background behind the new facility: “Our ’s current facility has struggled to reach the desired capacity, which led us to begin exploring new solutions.”
