Recycling
The Challenge
RPD GmbH feed material is Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) sourced locally and from Europe. After the shredding stage, one of the main issues they faced was that they were not able to efficiently screen their fine material which was subsequently affecting the quality of their products.

I was particularly impressed by the installation process; nothing had been left to chance and the equipment was installed like clockwork with hour by hour lift plans meaning much of the equipment was installed without touching the ground! I was not surprised that the testing was a formality. The build quality evident in the equipment tells me this was a solid investment for the company.”
Marcus Linhart of Christophel GmbH stated that they were delighted at how the process had unfolded, “We were aware of Kiverco’s reputation as a quality plant builder in the recycling industry for years. We were happy to have the opportunity to work with them and RPD GmbH on this project and believe the equipment now installed will contribute to the continued image of RPD GmbH as a reliable waste disposal partner, built up over more than 25 years.”
Gabriel O’Keefe, Kiverco’s Export Sales Manager for Germany states, “This project underlines the effect that changes in legislation can have on a company such as RPD GmbH. For our part, we are not only able to manufacture and install the equipment but are able to advise on a solution and how to turn, what is seemingly a negative, into a profitable opportunity.”

The Solution
A Kiverco Feeder and Trommel was added to their current certified waste management processing facility.

Owner and managing director of RPD GmbH, Mr. Hans-Georg Limburg, explains, “From the outset I was reassured by the professional approach of both Christophel and Kiverco.
