Forrec leads way in MSW and WEEE
processing solutions
In the treatment of solid municipal and industrial waste, Italian company Forrec is an international player with a track record
of finding effective solutions to its clients’ needs thanks to the combination of its long experience in the sector and the
technical know-how provided by the company’s research and development team.

A
lways aiming to find smart solutions to
help preserve the environment, Forrec’s
principal points of focus can be summa-

rised by words prefixed with the letters ‘Re’.
As well as REcycling, the company’s specif-

ic area of expertise, there is the RElationship
that Forrec looks to establish with clients in
order to achieve that essential sharing of expe-
riences and needs so as to enable expectations
to be met in terms of reliability, performance
and management costs. The end result is then
a ‘Made in Italy’ solution that enshrines the
know-how of specialists who have been part
of the environmental dynamic for decades.

Forrec also conducts continuous REsearch
with support from a technical office compris-
ing nine engineers, technology partners and a
commitment to remain constantly up-to-date
with standards and market trends.

Then there is the REalisation of completly
tailor-made machines and systems that dem-
onstrate flexibility and attention to the detail

of the customer’s needs while taking account
of the knowledge and experience of our cli-
ents in the various sectors.

Forrec offers 60 different machines and
turnkey systems for any type of solid munici-
pal and industrial waste. It is a REactive com-
pany, backed by teams at the client’s premises,
as well as at call centres and spare parts ware-
houses, providing remote assistance, response
in emergencies and scheduled maintenance.

Managing MSW
Many horizons have been explored and

many goals have been achieved, especially in
the last two years during which the company
has implemented some ambitious projects in
the field of, for example, the treatment of mu-
nicipal solid waste, or MSW.

MSW requires particular management in
terms of selection or preparation for combus-
tion. Forrec has designed a line capable of re-
ducing these preparation phases, guarantee-

ing a quality output with a primary shredder
(FR multi-crusher) and a screening machine,
avoiding the secondary grinding that is the
cause of high management costs and constant
maintenance because of the wearing charac-
teristics of the product.

In addition to the high-performance FR
multi-crusher, Forrec has developed a screen
in which all the components in contact with
the waste are made of anti-wear steel and are
tempered to minimise maintenance costs, all
this while ensuring perfect screening, high
levels of production and avoidance of prob-
lems typically associated with disk screens
such as the twisting of long materials around
the shafts.

The solution conceived and proposed by
Forrec has met with interest from the Mexi-
can and South East Asian markets where large
groups have recognised the real benefits of
emptying landfills in a bid to achieve the
long-term goal of ‘zero waste’ through ensur-
