Utilization of Automotive Industry Waste

In the manufacturing of automobiles, various types of waste are generated, including wood (such as pallets and packaging), scraps of car components (such as bumpers and panels), and other more common waste, such as boxes, plastics, and cardboard. To address these environmental challenges, a major car manufacturer has implemented innovative solutions for sustainable waste management at its ecological islands. Sustainable Solutions for Industrial Waste Reuse of Pallets and Wood with the PTL 250/400 x 1300 Chipper and Crusher To reduce waste volume and turn it into refuse-derived fuel (RDF), the car manufacturer uses the PTL 250/400 x 1300 Chipper and Crusher. This robust equipment is designed to chip wide materials, such as pallets and other recycling woods, in a single pass. With a vertical opening of 400 mm and a horizontal one of 1300 mm, it can efficiently process large volumes of wood. The PTL 250/400 x 1300 offers two cutting system options: - Tungsten carbide hammer rotor: Ideal for shredding wood contaminated with nails and staples, without the need for sharpening. - Knife rotor: Recommended for clean materials, providing chips with good particle size distribution and homogeneity.

This equipment grinds the material into granular form, allowing it to be reintegrated into the automotive component manufacturing process. With power ranging from 7 to 350 HP, TMF mills are versatile and efficient. Characteristics and Applications of TMF Granulator Mills TMF Granulator Mills are ideal for processing various materials, including: - Plastics: Bumpers, automotive parts, PET bottles, films, among others. - Paper and cardboard: Notebooks, documents, books, production waste. - Woods: Small logs, wood chips, shavings. - Other materials: Fabrics, used clothing, rubber, copper cables, and light non-ferrous metals. Main features include: - High working rotation. - Various rotor types for different applications. - Compact design that minimizes space requirements. - Particle size controlled by interchangeable screens. - High homogeneity of the shredded material. Benefits of Sustainable Waste Management The use of the PTL 250/400 x 1300 Chipper and Crusher and TMF Granulator Mills brings numerous benefits to the car manufacturer: - Volume reduction: Transforming large volumes of waste into granulated materials or chips. - Material reuse: Facilitating the reintegration of plastic waste into the manufacturing process. - Sustainability: Contributing to a more efficient and sustainable environmental management. These solutions demonstrate the automotive industry's commitment to sustainability and innovation, promoting a greener and more efficient future.
