PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
The aim of the project is twofold: the recycling of processed scrap taken from building sites, and the recycling of remaining parts arising from production and processing. Therefore what is needed is an efficient separation of dry and wet plasterboards for plaster and paper. Two main results are expected: 1) the protection of natural resources by recycling and 2) lower amounts of waste going to disposal sites. The plasterboards and board- rests (production scrap) are delivered by tip lorry or fork-lift truck and fed into the funnel of a screw comminutor. Depending on the amount of wet and dry material, it can be stored in the hall. When being fed, wet sections should be mixed with dry sections at a ratio of approximately 1:4. Wet sections can not be comminuted alone because this would disturb the production process at this location. The parts are cut in pieces of 25 mm. Dusts which may arise are fed back into the material flow via a de-dusting plant. After milling, the paper is finally separated from the plaster by using a special sieve and both materials are returned to production processes.
