Processing of paper and cardboard waste

The production of card board is a continuous process where several layers of paper are glued together into long, continuous strips of card board. These strips are automatically cut and the waste (small shreds) falls under and next to the line. This waste needs to be removed as quickly as possible. It can be aspirated (pneumatic transport with air separators) or it can be removed with conveyor belts or screw conveyors (internal transport). All the waste is evacuated towards one point where it is baled into square bales or into containers. The air applied for the pneumatic transport is filtered.

Processing of waste, coming from the production of hygienic products

Diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinent pads, make up pads, etc. they are all examples of hygienic products. They are produced at high speed and during this production a certain amount of waste is generated. This waste is composed of several components such as paper shreds, plastic foils, dust, powder, etc. This waste is aspirated and transported to a baling press where a compact bale is formed that is ready for recycling.

Processing of waste, coming from the production of insulation material

Mineral wool (glass wool) is produced as one long, continuous mat that is cut to the right size according to different patterns. The waste (strips and shreds of wool with different dimensions) and the dust that is generated during the production is aspirated and collected. The waste can be recycled immediately by sending it back directly to the ovens or it can be pressed into bales. The dust is collected in a series of filter units.

Natural fibre processing

Natural fibre processing generates a certain amount of dust. Using the principle of pneumatic transport and applying air separators has the advantage that a large part of the dust can be separated during transport of the material. This improves the quality of the fibre material. The dust is collected in a bag house filter.

Synthetic fibre processing

Pneumatic transport is a widely used principle in the production and recycling of (synthetic) fibres. Up to today Van Dommele has build a large number of transport systems for different types of fibre and fibrous dust. In most of the cases an air separator (rotating, drum or static separator) is combined with a filter unit and a suction fan. A detailed system is designed depending on the customers needs.
