5 Recycling Mobile and in-house regrinding services Regrinding Process We offer regrinding services out of four locations strategically located in Belgium, Spain, Poland and Croatia. Prior to re-grinding, the products delivered undergo a process of control and separation. The material is then sent to one of three regrinding lines for recycling. After being recycled, the regrinded material passes through the separator that separates metals and any mechanical particles. The next step is to ensure the best possible quality of the recycled material. To achieve this, the grinded material passes through a washing plant that eliminates dust or any other particles that the separator could not entirely remove. The recycled material can -at the request of the customer- be returned to production, where it is mixed to a specific percentage together with the original virgin material, so as to achieve optimum product quality. Mobile Recycling We offer complete autonomous mobile recycling at your facility. Our mobile re-grinders are sound-insulated with power-supply, fork-lift truck and weighing scales. For more information visit Compliance Analysis of recycled material complies with EU directives including 94/62/EG. Guarantee We guarantee that regrinded products are ready to be REUSED or PROCESSED in accordance with legislation. ISO 400 Certified We insure our products are produced to the highest standards as an ISO 400 certified facility.
