Products and services
Andritz MeWa has been developing and building shredding
and crushing machines as well as complete recycling plants
for many different applications for over 30 years. Its main
points of focus are the processing of electrical and electronic
scrap, refrigerators, cable scrap, metal composite materials,
domestic and industrial waste, old tyres and oil filters, but
also organic waste for biogas plants.

Andritz MeWa is part of the Andritz Group, a publicly-listed
company headquartered in Graz, Austria, that has around
25 000 employees. Andritz operates over 250 production sites
as well as service and sales companies all around the world to
enable Andritz MeWa to guarantee the best customer service
and delivery times.

Core competence
Andritz MeWa is one of the leading e-scrap recycling
manufacturers in Europe and is setting benchmarks
according to the EU regulations relating to the complete
recycling of electrical and electronic scrap (WEEE directive).

At the core of Andritz MeWa’s e-scrap facilities is the proven
QZ cross-flow shredder which works like a ‘hurricane’ for
the decomposition of any kind of material compounds,
especially WEEE. This unique, cost-effective system offers
high availability, low maintenance and low wear and tear
costs, as well as the lowest electrical consumption in the
industry.

Its latest installation was a combined e-scrap and refrigerator
recycling plant in Hungary. The plant is designed to recycle
20 000 tons of electrical and electronic scrap as well as over
150 000 refrigeration units a year in line with the very latest
European environmental standards and with a recycling
quota in the region of 95 %.

A
merican astronomer Carl Edward
Sagan once said: ‘We live in a society
exquisitely dependent on science and

technology, in which hardly anyone knows
about science and technology.’

However, this statement is only partly
true. Although it is a fact that the majority
of Mankind has no clue about the
technology that makes the machines and
devices they use every day work, there are
people, institutions and companies who
devote a significant part of their lives to
inventing new technologies and devel-
oping existing ones.

Technology – from the Greek words
techne (art, skill, cunning of hand)
and logia (logic) – is the collection of
techniques, skills, methods and processes
used in the production of goods or
services or in the accomplishment of
objectives, such as scientific investiga-
tion. Technology can be the knowledge
of techniques, processes, etc. or it can
be embedded in machines, computers,
devices and factories, which can be
operated by individuals without detailed
knowledge of the workings of such things.

In the recycling industry, many companies
that manufacture plant, machinery and
devices have their own research and devel-
opment departments for devising new
technologies that will enable recycling
companies to identify, sort, shred and
bale their secondary materials even more
efficiently.

Technology, you will find – in
