Focus on the Polish market

After around ten years in an automotive engineering agency and as Customer Support Manager for GM Poland, Stanislaw Wolkowicz has successfully managed the marketing of Henschel machines since 1993. In spite of the crisis that hit the steel industry during the nineties, Mr. Wolkowicz persevered and remained with Henschel. Mr. Wolkowicz currently represents the Akros Henschel group on the Polish market.

Poland is mainly equipped with old shears and with an insufficient number of presses. However, these insufficiencies are being partially recovered. Many Polish customers have opted for Akros Henschel over the past few years. One of them is part of the KGHM group which is the leading Polish group in terms of revenue and profits. For more than two years, the company has been operating a PTC 1440 triple-compression press, for the recycling of copper. Another one uses a PCV 2560 closed press to press stainless steel, while 3 new customers have respectively purchased a CIV 700-8L C and two CIV 600-8L T baling shears.

Several current projects in Poland constitute a source of real hope for the future…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Po ponad dziesięciu latach pracy w biurze projektowym przemysłu motoryzacyjnego oraz jako manager odpowiedzialny za serwis posprzedażny w GM Poland, Stanisław Wołkowicz od 1993 roku z sukcesem realizuje zadania marketingowe dla maszyn Henschel. Pomimo kryzysu lat 90-tych w przemyśle stalowym, p. Wołkowicz pozostał wierny firmie Henschel i jest obecnie przedstawicielem na rynku polskim.

Aktualnie w Polsce przeważają jeszcze na placach złomowych wysłużone prasonożyce; daje się też odczuć brak wydajnych paczkarek. Zaległości w parku maszynowym są jednak konsekwentnie nadrabiane. Dzięki temu procesowi, wiele firm zdecydowało się na zakup nowoczesnych maszyn Akros Henschel w ostatnich kilku latach. Jest pośród nich firma z grupy KGHM, krajowego lidera pod względem obrotów i generowanego zysku. Od ponad dwóch lat, eksploatowana jest paczkarka o 3-stopniowym zgniocie typu PTC 1440, używana do produkcji paczek ze złomu miedzianego. Inna, znana firma paczkuje stal nierdzewną na maszynie PCV 2560, podczas gdy kolejnych trzech Klientów zakupiło prasonożycę CIV 700-8L C oraz dwie CIV 600-8L T.

Jest także kilka bardzo obiecujących, nowych projektów, pozwalających optymistycznie zapatrywać się na przyszłą sprzedaż w Polsce…

New preshredder in the south of France…

In October, the Akros Henschel preshredder purchased by Rossi Récupération shredded its first bales and ELVs.

Following its 2009 acquisition of Akros Henschel CIC 1110 inclined scrap shear, Rossi Récupération demonstrated its continued trust in Akros Henschel by investing in a ZDS 220-400 double-shaft preshredder and a CMO 2216-22 swivelling conveyor specifically designed and manufactured by Akros Henschel.

The ZDS 220-400 preshredder has been installed upstream from the recently acquired shredder, and is already performing its function perfectly, enabling Rossi Récupération to:

  • Increase its shredder’s productivity by making the incoming material more homogeneous,
  • Reduce the average electricity consumption of its shredder by significantly lowering consumption peaks,
  • Reduce the risk of explosions in the shredder resulting from only partially depolluted vehicles or undetected gas bottles,
  • Limit damage to the shredder caused by explosions and unshreddable material,
  • Limit shredder wear, and therefore also downtime and maintenance costs.

Bolstered by Henschel’s historic experience in the field of triple-shaft pre-shredders, Akros Henschel has developed a complete and complementary range of double-shaft preshredders available in two casing widths (2.2 and 2.5 metres) and four power ratings (from 400 kW to 800 kW) covering production needs from to 120 t/h and with the following main technical characteristics:

  • Extremely robust design that ensures the machine’s life span,
  • A hydraulic power unit specially designed by Akros Henschel’s teams, with low maintenance costs,
  • Double-shaft preshredders with an upper opening system that allows easy maintenance and handling.

The considerable advantages offered by Akros Henschel’s solutions have already convinced several major operators: no fewer than ten preshredders of various sizes will be installed by Akros Henschel in late 2012.

Akros Henschel’s core business is the development and assembly of machines designed specifically for recycling steel and metals, and it offers continually enhanced ranges of shears, balers, preshredders and shredders to meet the ever-growing requirements of its customers.

600-tonne press-wing shears: AKROS HENSCHEL presents a new version!

Akros Henschel CIV 600-8 press-wing shears, a favourite tool of scrap recyclers all over the world, had a springtime facelift in 2011!

For almost ten years now, Akros Henschel has been offering its customers a wide range of 600-tonne press-wing shears with a choice of two drive systems (electric and diesel) and three main versions:

  • Stationnary machines
  • Semi-mobile machines that can be transported on a trailer using four hydraulic legs
  • Mobile machines with built-in trailer capability.

Following its worldwide success (Akros Henschel has sold CIV 600-8 machines in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North Africa), Akros Henschel presented its new generation of 600-tonne press-wing shears at the ‘Nouvelles Matières Premières’ (new raw materials) Symposium organised by FEDEREC (French recycling federation) in Tours.

Akros Henschel has maintained the concept of a choice between two types of drive system and three versions, but now offers its customers 600-tonne press-wing shears with a boldly innovative design and improved performance characteristics, incorporating all the benefit of its experience in the field.

Main features of the new CIV 600-8:

  • Increased production thanks to a true 600-tonne cutting capacity at 350 bars and a 6-metre preparation box,
  • Easier maintenance thanks to a centralised hydraulic system,
  • Better ergonomics thanks to easily-accessible preventive maintenance points requiring no special tools,
  • Less noise thanks to better soundproofing,
  • Longer working life because of the robust design and better protection of machine components,
  • Enhanced safety through centralised controls and machine status indicators on the operating terminals,
  • Drive system compliant with the latest European standards, allowing operation at very high temperatures.

The very first of these new 600-tonne CIV 600-8 press-wing shears was delivered to the PAPREC recycling company (at its site in Montardon) right after the end of the show.

Akros Henschel’s core business is the development, building, and servicing of machines designed specifically for recycling steel and metals, and it offers continually strengthened ranges of shears, balers, pre-shredders and shredders to meet the ever-growing requirements of its customers.

Turkey opens its doors to AKROS HENSCHEL

Izmir Demir Celik Sanayi A.S. is a major Turkish steelworks, a subsidiary of Şahin-Koç Inc., with annual production of 1,320,000 tonnes of billets and 900,000 tonnes of concrete reinforcing rods. Following on from its investments in 2006 and 2007 aimed at improving quality, productivity, and the technology used, IDC chose Akros Henschel to supply lateral compression hydraulic scrap shears for its scrap metal processing requirements. This strategic decision means that IDC now has more freedom to choose the types of scrap to be used in its steel production process. Whether the scrap is imported or from the local market, such as ship decommissioning sites, IDC can now increase its productivity by improving the density of the scrap loaded into its furnace.

The Akros Henschel CIB 1600-15 L scrap shears were commissioned in February 2011. This machine has the highest cutting force and the largest production capacity available in Turkey. With a 730 kW power rating, a 10 m long bed and 1600 t cutting force, the shears operate in round-the-clock shifts and provide a production capacity that can exceed 70 t/h according to the type of scrap.

IDC opens a door to the Turkish market, where there are as yet very few scrap processing machines, and is reaffirming its desire to remain a pioneer and always at the cutting edge of its sector.
This June, Akros Henschel will also equip Italian customer Bandinelli with 1600 t scrap shears, which will be the most powerful lateral box scrap shears in operation in Italy.
Akros Henschel thus confirms its well-established expertise in the design and manufacture of high-capacity machines. A 3000-tonne Akros Henschel machine has been in service for many years at River Metals in the USA; these must be the world’s biggest scrap shears!

Shipment to China

Just recently one of the biggest scrap baling presses available has started its way to its destination in China. The heavy parts were a specific challenge for the transport to Hamburg. For the loading onboard a special was necessary. But the good cooperation of all involved parties ensured a trouble free workflow. At its destination in Wuhan this machine will support the biggest baling press ever supplied by Akros Henschel (bale size 750×600 mm) in processing steel scrap. This new installation is also underlining the importance of Akros Henschel as a supplier of scrap processing equipment for the Chinese market.

Pre-shredders: AKROS HENSCHEL has well and truly established itself on the high-power pre-shredder market!

Thanks to Henschel’s extensive experience in the field of triple-shaft pre-shredders, Akros Henschel can now offer its clients in the metal and scrap metal recycling industries a complete range of double- and triple-shaft pre-shredders.

A pre-shredder is an indispensable machine that, when installed upstream of a shredder, allows users to:

  • increase the shredder’s productivity due to the homogenization of incoming material,
  • reduce the shredder’s average and peak electricity consumption levels,
  • reduce the number of explosions in the shredder resulting from only partially depolluted vehicles and undetected gas bottles,
  • limit damage to the shredder caused by explosions and unshreddable material,
  • limit environmental risks caused by explosions,
  • reduce shredder wear and thus reduce maintenance downtime.

In addition, Akros Henschel proposes machines that are designed to perfectly meet the needs of its customers, including:

  • extremely robust design that ensures the machine’s life span,
  • a hydraulic power unit specially designed by Akros Henschel’s teams, with low maintenance costs,
  • double-shaft pre-shredders with an upper opening system that allows easy maintenance and handling.

The considerable advantages offered by Akros Henschel’s solutions have already convinced these major players:

  • GDE, one of the largest scrap iron collectors in Europe, has ordered three ZDS 250-800 pre-shredders (the most powerful in the world) for its sites in Limay, Montoir de Bretagne and Salaise. The Limay pre-shredder has been operating since December 2010 and the next machines are planned for…
  • The company Rossi will soon see the arrival of a ZDS 220-400 pre-shredder at its site near Avignon (this machine will work alongside the CIC 1110 shears delivered in 2009),
  • Brest Récupération, a leading company in western France, has just ordered a ZDS 250-800 pre-shredder from Akros Henschel, which will be installed at the end of 2011.

The pre-shredder range includes 8 models that cover production requirements from 25 to 120 tons per hour.

Akros Henschel’s core business is the development and assembly of machines designed specifically for recycling steel and metals, and it offers continually strengthened ranges of shears, balers, pre-shredders and shredders to meet the ever-growing requirements of its customers.
