The almost complete absence of wear parts is a major advantage of the DIEFFENBACHER solution compared to other recycling technologies. It saves us a lot of time and money. When DIEFFENBACHER introduced us to their recycling concept based on X-ray technology and told us that we would be able to remove stones, all kinds of metals, and different types of rubber with just one machine, we were immediately hooked. Usually, sorting requires many different machines and technologies.
That’s how we helped Unilin to get ahead
The latest venture in that quest is a DIEFFENBACHER line at its Bospan plant that uses X-ray technology to sort recycled wood. For Unilin Panels and its parent company the Unilin Group, the new recycling line is a significant step toward sustainability and higher profits.
The use of recycled wood has tangible economic advantages. The supply of fresh wood in the region is limited, which means that the company would have to buy it from all over Europe, incurring high transport costs and having a corresponding impact on the carbon footprint. In addition to the cleaning tower with X-ray technology and magnetic sorting, Unilin ordered a secondary crusher from Dieffenbacher to reuse the oversized material discharged from the other two recycling lines.
