Innovative Air Technology for Recycling and Waste Management
Schulz & Berger Luft- und Verfahrenstechnik, a renowned leader in air technology for plant engineering, has been awarded the prestigious Thuringian Innovation Award for its groundbreaking Coanda classifier. The award ceremony, held in Weimar, recognized the Coanda classifier’s advanced design, which addresses the growing need for more efficient, energy-saving technologies in material separation. The classifier is especially relevant to industries like recycling and waste management, where precise and energy-efficient separation of materials like paper, cardboard, and mixed films is crucial.
Precision and Energy Efficiency: Key Highlights of the Coanda Classifier
The Coanda classifier is built around the Coanda effect, a physical phenomenon where air follows a neighboring surface, enhancing its separation capabilities. This technology ensures a high degree of purity in material separation, achieving purities of up to 95% depending on the input materials. In addition to its remarkable precision, the Coanda classifier operates with approximately 40% less energy consumption than traditional air separation systems. This combination of precision and energy efficiency makes the classifier an ideal solution for companies looking to enhance their recycling and waste management processes while minimizing operational costs.
Versatility and Easy Integration into Existing Systems
Another significant advantage of the Coanda classifier is its flexibility. The technology is designed for easy installation, and it can be integrated directly into existing conveyor belts within sorting systems with minimal structural effort. This feature makes the classifier not only efficient but also a cost-effective upgrade for companies looking to optimize their existing infrastructure. Its ability to separate light and heavy materials, such as yellow bag waste, paper, cardboard, and mixed films, adds to its appeal as a versatile solution across various industries.
Recognition of Innovation by Industry Experts
The Thuringian Innovation Award is one of the most prestigious honors in the region, recognizing outstanding technological advancements and innovations. The award was presented by STIFT (Foundation for Technology, Innovation, and Research in Thuringia), a prominent organization that supports innovation in the state. Marcel Rohmann, one of the managing directors of Schulz & Berger, expressed his pride in receiving the award on behalf of the company, noting that the Coanda classifier’s success is a result of dedicated teamwork and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of air technology.
Impact on Recycling and Waste Management Industry
The Coanda classifier represents a significant leap forward in recycling technology, offering solutions that not only improve efficiency but also support sustainability efforts. By reducing energy consumption and increasing separation accuracy, the technology addresses two of the most pressing challenges in recycling and waste management. The innovation further establishes Schulz & Berger as a leader in the field of air technology and reinforces its role in advancing sustainable practices across industries.
