Efficient waste processing – Komptech machines in continuous operation
The i550 protec ensures stable operating processes even in dusty outdoor applications, even with highly fluctuating material flows and harsh environmental conditions
What actually happens to the organic waste from our daily lives? Coffee grounds, vegetable scraps, and other organic waste are no longer simply disposed of—they are processed in modern facilities and converted into valuable raw materials.
This is exactly where Komptech comes in: Since 1992, the Austrian company has been developing technologies for mechanical and biological waste treatment as well as biomass processing—and is now one of the world’s leading providers.
Machines such as the Nemus 3000 or the Cribus series shred, screen, separate, and compost waste—reliably in continuous operation, even under the most demanding conditions.
The i550 protec: Stability and efficiency for decentralized outdoor applications
Thanks to its robust design, the drive can be installed directly in the machine’s immediate vicinity, ensuring that processes run stably and efficiently even under difficult conditions.
To ensure these processes run reliably, the Nemus 3000 and Cribus series machines are equipped with the i550 protec from Lenze—the drive designed for true outdoor applications:
- Rugged enough to withstand dust, moisture, and vibration (IP66 – NEMA 4X Outdoor): Ideal for recycling facilities and mobile plants, because less standstill means more output.
- Precise, smooth drum operation: Ensures consistent separation results and protects the mechanical components.
- Energy-efficient even with fluctuating material loads: Responds quickly and smoothly, even when material flow is inconsistent.
Recycling and biomass processes are among the most demanding industrial applications:
High load peaks, abrasive materials, continuous operation, and fluctuating material flows require robust, high-performance, and energy-efficient drive systems.
