Concentrated solutions for smart waste management: Austropressen channel balers are successfully in operation at many VEOLIA locations

VEOLIA Umweltservice GmbH, a client of Austropressen for many years, uses APK channel baling presses at numerous of its sites. As a major waste disposal business, VEOLIA operates its own waste sorting plants in Germany and manages the waste disposal of large retails chains, such as the REWE Group.

Examples from the field:

Near Hamburg, for example, two APK-ES70 channel balers process a wide variety of materials at a recycling and disposal centre. The two APK-ES70 automatic balers, each with a pressure force of 700 kN, operate with 55 kW and fivefold vertical binding systems. This means that in the recycling and waste disposal centre they are capable of dealing with various materials, such as waste paper, cardboard, PET bottles, film, various plastics, packaging materials, Tetra Pak containers, beverage cans and polystyrene. The efficiency of the APK-ES 70 is apparent in terms of the bales it can produce. In the case of beverage cans and Tetra Pak containers, the resultant bales have a weight of 620 to 660 kg while PET bottle bales are 420 kg – in each case, bales are 1200 mm in length.
