Innovation in recycling:
JOEST supplies OSCILLA FlexFeed for Eggersmann Anlagenbau

Challenges of material conveying

In recycling plants, especially when processing waste slag, conventional vibrating conveyors often lead to problems: The material tends to cake, which is particularly serious with moist bottom ash and reduces efficiency. The even distribution of the material across the entire width of the chute for optimum feeding of the sorting units is a frequent challenge, which is made even more difficult by the special nature of the material.

The OSCILLA FlexFeed technology from JOEST offers an innovative solution: a flexible conveyor floor made of hard-wearing PU mats is excited by a resonance system that is similar to flip flow technology. This means that even sticky or adhesive material, such as moist waste slag, can be conveyed efficiently and evenly. The material is automatically distributed across the entire width of the chute, which ensures continuous and homogeneous feeding of the downstream sorting units - a decisive factor for the efficiency of the overall system.

The OSCILLA FlexFeed flip flow feeder achieves a conveying capacity of up to 20 tons per hour. A covered system with lightweight AluCore covers protects against splashing and contributes to the longevity of the system, reducing maintenance requirements.

The OSCILLA FlexFeed technology therefore also scores points for its ease of maintenance: the external lubrication points of the unbalance drives are easily accessible and significantly reduce the amount of work required. This ensures high availability and improved efficiency during operation.

Result: Advanced waste slag processing

With the installation of the OSCILLA FlexFeed flip flow feeder, JOEST and Eggersmann Anlagenbau have created a solution specially tailored to the requirements of waste slag processing. The combination of flexible PU mats, resonance technology and a maintenance-friendly design not only ensures a uniform and reliable material feed, but also contributes to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the entire waste processing and thus sets a new benchmark in recycling.
