Ad Rem applications

Next to processing shredder light and heavy shredder fraction the Ad Rem machinery is also capable of processing waste of electrical and electronic equipment. WEEE can be processed on the same machinery as ASR is processed without any modifications. This makes it possible to get more input into the system and therefore costing less per ton.

Recyclable plastics can come from a large range of sources. Shredder residues containing plastics are typically coming from small domestic appliances, electrical and electronic equipment and cars. These materials each have their own difficulties when they have to be processed to recover clean plastics. With the GRS equipment we are able to handle each type of these materials.

Since 1991, the bi-directional dense medium separation technology for the recycling of automobile and industrial wastes is being used. For many years a principle client in this regard has been the Group Galloo.  Group Galloo owns currently 50% of the AD REM shares. At first the Galloo staff was not convinced that a carrot separator could compete with the classical dense medium separators on the market at that time. So they set up a trial on +12 mm automobile shredder residue, running half of the test material through a conventional drum and the other half through this modified bi-directional carrot separator.

Ad Rem`s main focus is currently on the processing, reuse and recycling of Shredder Light Fraction. Currently shredder light fraction is already being processed at Group Galloo with the Ad Rem equipment. With the enormous experience in house on this subject,  Ad Rem is currently designing a complete new recycling facility for Group Galloo. This new facility will be specialized in treating Shredder Light Fraction. This installation is full of new exiting technologies and hopes to set the standards for the next coming years.
