SPALECK Group Expands in Greiz

Our Greiz-based sister company, SPALECK Oberflächenveredlung, today broke ground for the construction of a new warehouse at the SPALECK production site. Dieter and Sascha Höland, SPALECK Präzisionstechnik operations manager Sebastian Bettermann, Greiz district administrator Martina Schweinsburg, the first deputy mayor of Greiz, Ulrich Zschegner, project manager Dieter Holtermann and, of course, Marlies Spaleck attended the opening of the construction project with a volume of around 1.5 million euros.

A new warehouse covering approximately 1,500 square meters is to be built; 500 square meters of this space will be used by SPALECK Precision Technology, while the remaining approximately 1,000 square meters will be available to SPALECK Surface Finishing. The reason for the investment is the expansion of the current scarce storage capacity in order to meet changing customer requirements for increased order picking of goods. The project is also intended to create new jobs in the structurally weak region. The new hall is scheduled for completion in March/April 2020.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the municipal administration and the district of Greiz, who have always supported us during the sometimes lengthy planning process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Flip-Flow screening machine adjusted to the recycled material?

The precise design of a tension-shaft screening machine is always tailored to the recycled material. Factors such as the composition of the input material, its moisture content, contaminants, throughput requirements, and the recycling goals associated with the input material form the basis for this. Working with you, we define screening sizes, purity requirements, and throughput rates, and use this information to configure the exact machine settings—from screening panels to amplitude and machine features such as the SPALECK FineSideCOVER (FSC) or our MultiDECK technology with a split push rod. Learn more here about our ModularDESIGN+ concept, which we use to find the optimal screening machine for your material. We’d be happy to test the respective recycling material together with you free of charge at the SPALECK TestCenter.

How does a Flip-Flow screening machine improve the efficiency of a recycling plant?

Precise screening of the fine fraction results in clearly defined particle sizes. For example, if the fine fraction ranging from 0 to 10 mm is reliably screened out, downstream sorting equipment—such as eddy current separators, NIR sorters, sensor sorters, and X-ray sorters—operates more reliably and efficiently as a result. In addition, the system’s cleaning requirements are reduced, and higher material purity levels can be achieved. You can see a good example of the benefits of a tensioned-shaft screen in the reference video on municipal solid waste processing at our Swedish customer Tekniska verken. The video demonstrates how a SPALECK tension-shaft screen reduces the load on the downstream eddy current sorters and NIR sorting processes. You can find all the details about the project here.

How often do the screening mats need to be replaced on a Flip-Flow screening machine?

The service life of screening mats for Flip-Flow screening machines depends heavily on the recycled material, the Recycling process, and factors such as the abrasiveness of the material stream. In many recycling applications, very long service lives are possible. Thanks to our bolt-free, modular clamping system, individual screening mats can be replaced quickly and easily as needed. You can see how this works in the video on our landing page for tension-shaft screen machines. You can get a competitive quote for replacement screening mats through our spare parts service.
