BHS-Sonthofen has delivered recycling technology for an SMP plant in Wuxi City of Jiangsu province, China. Toxic industry waste is usually disposed together with the packaging – for example steel drums or big bags. Roten, the Chinese company responsible for building the recycling plant, asked for solutions for the first step of the recycling process, which is the shredding of waste materials delivered in big bags. The customer's main requirement was high machine availability. BHS-Sonthofen opted for a two-stage shredding process with shearing shredder VR 1215 (hydraulic drive) and VR 0912 (electrical drive).

The Chinese customer Roten was commissioned to build a recycling plant for waste materials in Wuxi City. To be incinerated, these waste materials and their packaging must first be shredded and made pumpable. BHS-Sonthofen supplied technical solutions for the first step of the recycling process. Two shredders have been in operation since the end of 2019 and optimally meet the customer's demand for high machine availability: So far, the machines have been out of operation only for the inspection and maintenance period.

Roten has already successfully implemented projects with BHS-Sonthofen in the run-up and decided to use the high-quality solutions from Sonthofen once again. As an international company, BHS also has sales offices in China, which can quickly provide assistance in case of any problems.
