The VDMA demonstration days includes live biomass crushing and processing technology at the IFAT trade fair in Munich. Around 400 metric tons of biomass will be processed in eight live shows.
IFAT is billed as the world's leading trade fair for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management and will take place in Munich from May 30 to June 3, 2016.
VDMA demonstration days, from VDMA Waste Treatment and Recycling Technology, pick up what the company says is a highly topical theme with biomass processing – which is why the event, with 13 international manufacturers sold out quickly.
During a total of eight live demonstrations, the machines and systems presented will process around 400 metric tons of biomass. Sieve systems or crushers demonstrate the processing of standing timber, waste wood and garden waste, right through to entire roots. The latest feeding units ensure delivery and removal of the biomass and round out the process flow demonstrated in the live shows. Following the demonstrations, the visitors have the opportunity to experience the machines first hand and can talk shop with the operating staff.
Local firm, Remondis GmbH & CO. KG Region Süd, will make a portion of its biomass available and will provide for the removal of the sorted materials after the trade fair.
VDMA will be organizing the VDMA demonstration days for the eighth time. More than 25 machines such as sieve systems, crushers and feeding units will be used during the VDMA demonstration days, which will take place throughout the duration of the trade fair.
According to VDMA only 20 percent of the waste wood produced each year is recycled in Germany, the vast majority is used to produce energy. The use of sieving and sorting technology is a requirement for efficient waste wood recycling since more recyclable waste wood becomes available with the increasing quality of the sorting.
Visitors at IFAT will be able to track the process flows of modern biomass and waste wood processing during the live demonstrations at the practical days and interact directly with the machine manufacturers afterwards.
