MTB’s solutions turn
waste into gold
Innovation is in the DNA of the
French recycling company MTB.
Both as an operator of a
complex industrial scrap
recycling site and the
manufacturer of shredding and
sorting equipment, MTB has
turned its awareness of
environmental issues into a real
strength and a source of
creativity.
From the diversification of waste processing
on the existing site to the support of manufac-
turers for the development of recycling chan-
nels, the daily life of the MTB team is full.
Over the last three years, the company has not
only developed its catalogue of machines but
has also actively participated in numerous
European collaborative projects, particularly
on the subject of recycling lithium-ion batter-
ies and production waste.
Did you know MTB is an expert on the recy-
cling of electrical cables? It is most definitely a
multi-skilled manufacturer-operator. It is
involved currently in no fewer than 15 machine
development projects covering a wide variety
of applications: SRF, CIW, batteries, ASR, cars,
composites, etc.
MTB’s most recent significant product exam-
ples include:
• The RSX 2300
The high-performance twin rotor pre-shredder
reduces waste at high rates. Designed to han-
dle the largest volumes while maintaining low
energy consumption compared to the tradi-
tional hydraulic drive.
• The BVR1200
The BVR1200 battery shredder is a new, ener-
gy efficient and fully sealed shredder designed
to safely reduce all types of batteries.
• The BAM
The BAM is an MTB innovation that separates
brittle and abrasive contaminants from waste
and prepares the product for grinding in our
granulators while ensuring limited wear of the
knives.
• Dry cell box: A unique recycling box for bat-
tery production scrap. This range of contain-
erised lines is growing.
THE LATEST INNOVATION
A platform for monitoring MTB equipment is
the MyMTB solution. Rémy Tixier, MTB auto-
mation manager explains: ‘MyMTB is a control
and management interface for all our equip-
ment, available on all connected devices. The
machine fleet is thus constantly monitored and
analysed thanks to a high-performance sensor
system. Real-time processing allows for a high
level of reactivity. MyMTB is the guarantee of
better performance.’
Tixier adds that, on top of the technical data
collected, the system generates predictive
maintenance alerts. ‘An intelligent tool that
immediately proposes a list of corrective
actions to be taken. MyMTB is an additional
bit of reassurance and maintainability for MTB
equipment. Customer tests are ongoing and
the general comment is that it is comfortable,
efficient and reassuring.’
GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND
Are you particularly concerned by the increas-
ing scarcity of raw materials, supply difficulties
and the absolute need to recycle in the best
operational conditions? MTB is seeking to
equip its customers with the best sorting solu-
tions to recover a growing proportion of mate-
rial.
The aim is to reduce the proportion of residual
waste and supply the industry with very high-
quality secondary material. This is an economi-
cally relevant benefit for everyone and a sus-
tainable solution for the future of the planet.
Not yet convinced by MTB solutions? Then
hear about the customer support. All over the
world, MTB technical experts are experienced
in the problems of operating a recycling site.
Whether it’s a project, an installation, a break-
down service, a need for spare parts or a
renewal of the machine fleet, an MTB expert is
at your side.
