Schwandorf waste incineration plant: How new things can be created from waste

Category: Slag processing | | Created by Redaktion

Karl Zeitler, Managing Director of Loibl Förderanlagen GmbH:

"The focus of the planning was on robustness, high system availability, and easy operability of the system. Loibl has the know-how and resources to engineer, manufacture, assemble, and commission a complete system tailored to the customer's needs."

Effective preparation process. The new processing plant of Loibl Förderanlagen GmbH processes 110,000 tons of slag per year. This corresponds to 13 tons per hour. In the first step, the slag is freed from coarse slag and coarse iron with the help of a bar screen and magnetic drum. Further steps in the processing include the discharge of fine iron with the help of an overband magnet and a high-speed drum. Non-ferrous metals are separated from the slag using an eddy current separator. The separated fractions are fed to their planned discharge position via several conveyor belts. At the end of the treatment process, the various grain sizes of the individual fractions are available for further use.

Loibl supplies regional waste-to-energy plants in Bavaria. The Zweckverband Müllverwertung Schwandorf (ZMS) has 17 members, including districts from the Upper Palatinate, Lower Bavaria and Upper Franconia, as well as independent cities such as Landshut, Straubing, Amberg, Regensburg, Weiden, Hof and Bayreuth. Every year, Zweckverband Müllverwertung Schwandorf frees a disposal area of around 15,000 square kilometers from household, bulky and commercial waste. This corresponds to the waste of almost 1.9 million inhabitants of Bavaria. On the four incineration lines of the waste-to-energy plant, 450,000 tons of waste are thermally converted into electricity and heat every year.

Circular economy as the key to the environment. The new plant from Loibl Förderanlagen GmbH exploits the possibilities of resource-saving recycling management by further recovering raw materials from solid incineration residues. Separated metals such as iron, copper, aluminum and brass are efficiently separated from the slag via the treatment process and made available with high purity. The recycled slag fractions are suitable, among other things, as a basic material in road construction and civil engineering. The recovered metals are used in metallurgy, for example.
