Three Valtech Group companies were present at IFAT 2018.
IFAT is the leading trade fair for processing and treating waste streams ranging from (sewer) water or permanent waste fractions to renewable raw materials. The trade fair was held halfway through May in Munich (Germany). Subsidiaries Valvan, Cretes and Rentec of Valtech Group were present.
Valvan and Cretes demonstrated their overall solutions in discharging and baling continuous waste streams. Large projects have been completed in waste treatment from production lines for (corrugated) cardboard, paper, nonwovens, textiles, household and industrial wastes, nappies and insulation wool but also from printing companies, foam processors and carpet manufacturers. In most cases, the waste is extracted directly at the production line and separated on top of a baler. Occasionally, secondary waste streams are transferred to the baler using conveyor belts. Alternatively, the bales can also be wrapped and/or transferred automatically to a storage warehouse.
Rentec was also present at the trade fair. They introduced their latest waste compactors, conveyor belt systems and screening machines.
Our three companies were satisfied with the outcome of the trade fair which resulted in new prospects from all around the world. Obviously, there are a lot of opportunities to explore for Valtech Group in the world of recycling and the circular economy.
