What you'll learn in this post:

In this post, you’ll learn all about the successful 15th Blood Donation Day at our health center.

On March 2, the SPALECK Health Center opened its doors to the German Red Cross (DRK) blood donation service for the 15th time. The fact that this event has now become a regular fixture on our calendar was once again evident from the more than 60 participants, among whom we were pleased to welcome six first-time donors.

A Strong Community in the Neighborhood

We were especially pleased with the participation from our immediate neighborhood this time around: We also invited colleagues from nearby companies to donate!

Since the event was organized right here on our premises, it was once again easy to incorporate the donation into our daily work routine. To refuel afterward, a selection of rolls, sausages, cakes, and drinks was provided for all volunteers and donors.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in this important effort, as well as to the German Red Cross (DRK) team for their professional organization on site.

Save the date: September 16, 2026

After the donation is before the donation: The next date has already been set. On September 16, it’s time to “roll up our sleeves” again. We’re counting on your support once again and hope to get the neighborhood excited about it all over again!

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.
