ReTec & Smicon extend partnership for Smicon systems

As of 02.02.2022, ReTec Recyclingtechnik will look after the German-speaking customers of the Dutch system manufacturer Smicon BV in the DACH region. We are pleased about the excellent addition to the ReTec sales portfolio and can draw on the experience from the successful cooperation in Scandinavia. ReTec has already been working successfully with Smicon in Scandinavia for 7 years.
 
Smicon equipment can be found in many different areas of food recycling. SMIMO unpacking systems, shredders, grinders for feed production, wind shifters, dewatering presses as well as turnkey plants for washing containers are just a few of the specialist's areas of expertise.
 
The products in the Smicon portfolio have been developed and manufactured at Smicon BV in Wanroij, the Netherlands, since 1980. Smicon manufactures approx. 120 machines per year with a motivated team of 45 employees and can rely on a unique know-how and network with 2000 machines delivered worldwide.

Tonnie Smits, Managing Director of Smicon:
"We are looking forward to expanding the cooperation of ReTec and Smicon into the DACH region. ReTec and Smicon represent the same values in their philosophy and speak the same language despite our different nationalities. The consulting and support is always focused on the success of the customer and is carried out with a lot of process know-how and industry knowledge. Coupled with high-quality mechanical engineering & service, this leads to long-term customer relationships."

SMIMO depackaging systems
Smicon's depackaging systems are available in two different versions, the SMIMO120 & SMIMO160, and easily separate organic content from their packaging with a throughput of up to 45 m³ per hour. The high separation efficiency of the system ensures an organic product that is free of residues, while exchangeable screens allow the particle sizes to be optimally adjusted to the input material.
 
Windshifters & dewatering presses
The Smicon WS800 Windshifter is the ideal complement to the SMIMO depackaging system. It is used to separate the packaging material flow after the SMIMO depackaging system. The windshifter separates heavy organic residues (e.g. orange peels) from the packaging material. This results in higher organic yields and lower disposal costs.
 
The Smicon SP600 dewatering press dewaters the packaging stream from the depackaging machine, which can sometimes be very moist depending on the input, thus ensuring lower disposal costs and also higher organic yields. 
 
Shredders & Grinders
The Smicon shredders were developed in the nineties for the shredding of unpackaged food. The machine is used to shred potatoes, fruit, vegetables and foodstuffs to e.g. 10mm size for further processing in the recycling process.
 
The Smicon grinder is designed to grind recyclable potatoes, vegetable and fruit products from coarse to a fine puree to make these residues suitable for animal feed, pet food, insects, biogas, composting, etc. This increases the added value from your residual material streams.
 
Washing systems for waste containers
Smicon's portfolio does also include fully automatic washing systems with tipping systems for waste containers since 2009. These systems clean up to 180 containers per hour.
