VECOPLAN® recently celebrated the grand opening of its new 17,000 square-foot Technology Center in Bad Marienberg, Germany. The first-of-its-kind facility is equipped with more than 25 machines representing a comprehensive range of mechanical technologies for the processing, recycling or repurposing of waste and biomass. Processors can conduct comprehensive tests on their specific materials across customized systems that incorporate all necessary technologies. With the opening of the center, Vecoplan now covers the entire value chain of complex processes in-house, thus accelerating research and development time, and allowing for efficient test times.
Three hundred and fifty industrial, political and media leaders from the international environmental industry attended the gala. Representatives from the recycling industry were impressed by the variety of technologies installed in the redesigned and enlarged center. “I’m impressed by Vecoplan’s new technology center, and the ability to do real-world testing on my material is what interests me the most,” stated Enrico Siewert, president of Re-Poly, a plastics recycling company located in Saint Louis, Missouri. “I’ve already scheduled a test at the facility.”
A significant investment of capital, time, space, and resources, the facility is yet another indication of Vecoplan’s continued commitment to innovation and leadership in all areas of the environmental industry.
Vecoplan’s Technology Center, also incorporates two laboratories and a conference room adjacent to the machinery systems’ processing area. The labs allow for pertinent physical and chemical properties of material to be evaluated, both prior to and after processing through the facility’s equipment. This enables customers to immediately determine the success of a particular test.
