                                                  An optimal process chain in the preparation for recycling or thermal recovery always requires coordinated processes and continuous material flows. As a manufacturer of all relevant components, we ensure trouble-free preparation and optimised subsequent handling when designing your plant.

                                                  As precise as Swiss clockwork
                                                  Only few products stand for precision and reliability as much as Swiss watches. Something that works "as precisely as a Swiss watch" simply works perfectly. One tooth meshes with the next, there is no faltering and no stumbling. Perfect, smooth operation is guaranteed. We also pursue this goal when designing your systems for complex treatment processes. Here, too, the coordination of the individual items with each other is the basic prerequisite for a successful material flow. Vecoplan is an international expert in mechanical processing and not only offers the strongest individual components from a single source, but has also acquired the know-how over the last 50 years to combine them into a complete installation in line with requirements.

                                                        • In in-house recycling, plastic waste that is a by-product of production is directly processed in a closed loop and fed back into production as raw materials

                                                          Would you like to process your reject material into regranulate so that it can be re-introduced into production? In-house recycling has become an established practice, because processors make significant cost savings by using this procedure. On the one hand, they have to pay less for expensive new material and on the other, there’s no need for disposal in external recycling plants. Vecoplan will supply you with exactly the right machines for efficient and high-quality output. We have installed machines that are suitable for processing many materials in our Technology Centre, so we can test the individual materials you need in your applications and develop processing strategies that will match your requirements perfectly.
