ANDRITZ recycling technologies
Recover raw materials. Maintain values.
Innovative recycling technologies for material separation and recovery, treatment of various types of waste and rejects, and the production of renewable energy help you reduce dependency on purchased power and eliminate landfilling of waste - thus making substantial contributions towards protecting the environment.
ANDRITZ recycling plants: profitable, efficient and reliable
The ANDRITZ plant range offers recycling solutions for a wide variety of different applications: Electronic and electrical waste, refrigerators, cable scrap, aluminum scrap, automotive parts like oil filters, motor blocks and tires, domestic, industrial and bio waste as well as rejects from the paper industry.
All materials contain valuable parts, e.g. copper, aluminum and iron, which are available and can again be sold as secondary raw materials when processed properly.

Refrigerators
Examples:
Refrigerators, freezers with CFC/pentane
Result:
Aluminum, copper, iron, plastics
Short description:
The recyclable material is extracted from the equipment in an environmentally safe manner. Due to the encapsulated system of the plant the harmful greenhouse gases of the cooling agent can be recovered.
Electrical and electronic waste
Examples:
Household appliances, consumer electronics, computers
Result:
Freed PC boards, cables, transformers, capacitors, aluminum, copper, iron and stainless steel
Short description:
In a single-step process the recyclable material composites are broken-up and sorted into clean fractions.
Waste from the paper industry
Examples:
Rejects, pulper rags
Result:
Metals, refuse derived fuels, PVC
Short description:
Depending on the strength of the waste composite from the paper industry different systems for the primary shredding and granulating are used, which extract the metals and process the rest to substitute fuel material.
Metals and special solutions
Examples:
Aluminum waste, steel turnings, fiber-glass, PVC, batteries, spray cans, used beverage cans
Result:
Broken-up ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Short description:
Special plant solutions for the most varied types of composite materials break-up the valuable recyclable components.
Automotive parts
Examples:
Tires, oil filters, motor blocks, catalytic converters, shredder-light-fraction, aluminum rims, interior/exterior
Result:
Iron, non-ferrous metals, rubber, plastics, paper, oil
Short description:
For a wide variety of automotive parts our recycling plants extract the valuable components and ensure at the same time an environmentally sound treatment of the sometimes oil-bearing parts.
RDF production
Examples:
Household and industrial waste, production residues, bulky waste
Result:
Plastics, textiles, PVC, paper, metals, minerals, wood, glass
Short description:
After the shredding process and separation of the valuable components the remaining calorific value fraction is processed to substitute fuel.
Wood waste
Examples:
Offcuts, veneers, boards, panelboard, saw mill waste, demolition/construction waste
Result:
Wood particles of defined size (10 to 200 mm) for composites, fuels, etc.
Short description:
The slowly rotating ANDRITZ FRX and FRP shredders can process large quantities of wood and even huge logs into manageable sizes.
Organic waste
Examples:
Organic/bio-waste, restaurant/kitchen waste, packaged food, corn and whole crop silage, animal manure, grass silage
Result:
Removed packaging, unwrapped organic waste material suitable for pumping
Short description:
The Bio-QZ system breaks down the cell structure of the input waste materials for optimum fermenting conditions in biogas plants.
