Solutions for Recycling

Working for a sustainable economy: solutions for Recycling

A complete range of solutions for recycling processing and machinery

Recycling is an increasingly crucial sector for a modern circular economy and the protection of the planet. It’s a key element of waste management in order to reduce pollution and waste going to landfill. Therefore, it is essential that waste disposal companies can count on safe, efficient machinery and plants able to work to their full potential.

That’s why we developed a complete range of customized solutions for the collection, scaling and classification of waste materials.

Components for stand-alone recycling machines

The recycling process can be carried out through complex, vast plants, but also through more compact stand-alone machines. These machines are used for small loads, when the final consumer returns a product that needs to be recycled. They are therefore very important to favor the recycling process and for a correct recycling, and therefore to favor a good practice of circular economy. Bonfiglioli designs and produces custom solutions also for:

Reverse vending machines: High reliability and a long operating life are the stand-out features of the recycling machine products, which are fully integratable with Bonfiglioli drives for a complete package solution;
Stand-alone shredder: gearmotors, inverters and planetary drives that are reliable and long-lasting

A complete support from beginning to end

Bonfiglioli believes that product development relies on passion, efficient processes and on the ability to understand customers’ needs. Therefore, first, the company team identifies these needs after an in-depth analysis. Then, through dedicated calculation tools, the team simulates the transmission’s capabilities and performance, allowing to reduce development time. Ultimately, the alignment stage allows the company to adapt the proposal according to key factors such as performance, installation and maintenance.
