The Crespotec® Compaction Optimiser: Efficient recycling of valuable raw materials

Production facilities often generate side streams in the form of chips, grinding sludge or other particles. To date, at least until now, disposing of them is no option, and finding the optimum dosage of water and wheat-based binder for briquetting the raw materials poses a time-consuming and costly task. With the Crespotec® Compaction Optimiser (CCO), C&D Technical Applications now offers a new type of software to calculate the optimum addition quantities. The dosage can be kept low, while briquette properties are optimised and costs reduced.

High performance adhesives made from wheat starch for ecological packaging

Progressive climate change and resource scarcity are increasingly challenging our society to rethink many aspects of everyday life. Reducing and avoiding plastic packaging is an important long-term goal of the public, politicians and legislators. The C&D Corrugating & Paper brand of the Crespel & Deiters Group specializes in adhesive concepts made from natural wheat starch. These help to make corrugated packaging recyclable many times over, improve the quality of the paperboard and also increase the productivity of the plant. Thanks to their properties, the adhesives can contribute to sustainable recycling management and promote compliance with statutory recycling quotas.

“Germany Saves Food” action week

What does the “Germany Saves Food” action week have to do with Crespel & Deiters, an industrial company that extracts starch and protein from wheat? A great deal, because the appreciation of food and the prevention of waste starts right at the top of the value chain. What counts is not only the behaviour of consumers in the consumer society, but also behaviour in the upstream industrial stages.
