31-meter Vibrating Conveyor System for PreZero

Plant for transporting and processing waste incineration slag.

PreZero Energy in Roosendaal produces electrical energy and district heating by incinerating domestic and industrial waste. In addition to the energy extraction, metals and recyclable building materials are also won from the incineration process. These materials are extracted right after the thermal process as part of the so-called waste slag and are then transported away and preprocessed. Well known characteristics of this material compound are its abrasiveness and chemical aggressiveness in combination with a high moisture content.

This PreZero plant burns up to 100t of waste per hour on two incineration lines. Approximately 25 t/h are extracted discontinuously at a temperature of up to 100°C. Because of the inhomogeneous nature and large variety of domestic and industrial waste, individual pieces can reach up to 1000 mm in length and weigh up to 200 kg.

For further storage and processing, the slag must be transported and preselected. This task will be performed by the unique and well proven JOEST Mass Compensated Resonance Conveyor. A special feature of this machine type is the self-compensation of dynamic restoring forces that are created by the oscillating trough. Other process steps such as large part separation can be added with standardized elements. Operating the system close to self-resonance makes it significantly more energy efficient than competing systems.

This type of Vibrating Feeder by JOEST has been successfully used in waste incineration plants and other industries for years.

The vibrating conveyor system for PreZero will reach 31 meters in length and feature a 1.4m wide exchangeable trough made of wear resistant custom steel. To protect the employees, plant technology and building structure from harmful emissions (vapors), a machine-mounted hood is included in the system’s design. An adjustable coarse separation stage is integrated to separate large pieces of material. To further optimize the runtime, individual wear components are specially reinforced. An intelligent amplitude control consistently ensures optimal parameters and reduces maintenance efforts. The system can automatically adjust its process parameters to accommodate fluctuating waste compositions and material feeds. This ensures PreZero optimal flexibility for the future.

The “total cost of ownership” approach showed a clear economic advantage compared to the previous technological solution after only a few years of operation. This shows once again that JOEST Machine Technology aims for sustainability and economic efficiency.

Delivery will take place in mid 2023 including installation and commissioning by JOEST. A multi-year maintenance contract is also part of the order package.

Half Time reached!

For our long-standing customer, Dyckerhoff company, we have now exchanged JOEST tube type feeder at two star distributors for silo loading during the winter overhaul for the 4th year in a row, thus reaching the halfway point of the overall project.

Classifying & Dewatering with JOEST

JOEST vibrating screens are essential equipment for classifying and dewatering contaminated soil. Four vibrating screens were specifically designed for our long-time Belgian customer. In addition to the three dedicated dewatering screens, a two-deck screen for classifying and dewatering was also delivered earlier this year. A unique feature is the upper deck, which has various inclinations. These different inclinations ranging from 5 to 0 degrees have a positive impact on the final screening outcome. With steep throw angles and high accelerations, very low residual moisture levels are achieved. Another crucial aspect is the special PU screen panels that contribute to efficiently dewatering the soil and achieving the desired classification and dewatering effects.

Largest Vibrating Screens for the aggregate industry

Back in 2008 and 2009, JOEST delivered a total of eight large, 3,070 x 7,000 mm, Linear Vibrating Screens to their client Norsk Stein in Jelsa. Norsk Stein is Norway’s leading producer of gravel and stone materials, producing more than 15 million tons of aggregates for the entire European market. The JOEST Screens equip the secondary crushing plants with two parallel production lines for extremely abrasive granite. At a total capacity of 3,000 t/h, the material is classified from 125 mm down to 5 mm. In 2014, the plant was modified to focus more on the production of armourstone. An increased feed grain size and screen cuts of up to 220 mm became necessary. To achieve these new demands, one Linear Vibrating Screen was exchanged for a Double-Shaft Elliptical Motion Screen.
