Granulator with new hydraulic
pendulum pusher
It’s been ten years since the
first 1608 series MeWa Granulator
left production to be delivered
to Gescher in the Münsterland
region. It proved a huge
success and now, some 35,000
operating hours later, the customer
Hubert Eing Kunststoffverwertung
GmbH has replaced
the original with an updated
version incorporating a hydraulic
pendulum pusher.

This versatile
post-disintegrator’s
reliability is making
it one of the
true success stories
in MeWa’s machine
fleet.
With improved
blade geometry and
a hydraulic pendulum
pusher, this updated,
state-of-the-art model can now
process even greater throughput quantities
compared to the original UG 1608 series.
Advances have also been made with
its mechanical handling. With the new hydraulic
pusher, both pendulum and cylinder
are external. As well as being very
low-maintenance, this arrangement also
prevents contamination from material residue.
“The cutting geometry of this machine
matches our requirements profile perfectly,“
says Stephan Eing, managing director
of Hubert Eing Kunststoffverwertung
GmbH, describing the reasons the company
once again chose the MeWa Granulator
for their recent replacement investment.

The family-run company ordered its first
1608 series MeWa Granulator 10 years
ago. Based in Gescher, the company mechanically
treats some 40,000 tonnes of
plastics from Dual System collection bins
for outer packaging. The material is shredded,
extraneous materials are separated
and then mechanically recycled. In addition,
the company produces around 60,000
tonnes of derived fuels per year from processing,
industrial and municipal waste.
The materials are treated using flexible
processing to ensure homogenous output
fractions. Determining the desired particle
size is simple using the quick-change
perforated screen in the granulator. The
principal customers for the refuse-derived
fuels are from the power station, cement
and lime industry. ■

Münsterland
The riches of the Münsterland
region are located amid sprawling
green grasslands interspersed with
woods, hedge banks and the gardens
of old farmhouses – magnificent palaces
and imposing castles (like Burg
Gemen near Borken).
The region is popular for cycling tourism.
The region’s most attractive sights
can be found on the “Route of 100
palaces and castles“, a cycling route
stretching almost 100 kilometres.
