Komptech’s key message at
this year’s IFAT trade show – the
premier event for raw material
management – is ‘Even more
customer benefit’. The official
motto is ‘Green boost your
business’, but there is much more
to it than that.
After a very successful 2017,
the Austrian technology leader
is intent on continuing to help its
customers develop sustainable
businesses and on making its own
contribution to even more effective
environmental technology.
The company’s lineup at IFAT
this year is extensive, from the
VDMA Practice Days ‘Biomass’ and
the introduction of a ‘Minerals’ to
a booth full of new and interesting
things. This large fair footprint
also represents the start of a
new market offensive. Komptech
reserved additional outdoor space
just in time, where it will present a
new machine.
Communication that connects
Since January this year, Komptech’s
innovative Connect! monitoring and
communications technology has
greatly enhanced the availability
and efficiency of its machines.
Based on the further development
of its condition-monitoring system,
Connect! is designed specifically
for Komptech machines and the
conditions they are used in.
With continuous monitoring,
machines can be continuously
maintained based on their
condition. Contingency costs
can be reduced to a minimum,
and partial real-time sensor data
analysis provides for a reliable and
fast-reacting information system.
The two central objectives are
safety and machine efficiency,
which pay dividends for users in
every respect.
Staying with the programme
Komptech has never stood still,
but has always placed a priority
The newly developed Axtor 4510 shredder weighs
only 19 t with all options, making it much easier
to transport
on continuous development of
its technology to meet customer
needs.
This can be seen with the new
Topturn X5000, which expands
Komptech’s lineup of triangular
windrow turners. This new 5
m-machine comes in two power
versions. Its one-piece plough
blades simplify switch from work
to transport position. The drum
wear parts can swing through 180°,
giving longer use and thereby
lower operating costs.
“In brief, customer benefit
has been boosted once again,”
Komptech said in a statement.
The same could be said for
the completely redesigned Axtor
4510 shredder, which now weighs
only 19 t (with all options) and is
thus much easier to transport. Its
two-axle configuration also gives it
great manoeuvrability. The intake
and shredder rotor have been
repositioned for a more compact,
yet just as capable, machine.
Komptech has also updated its
screening machine park. Based on
the successful Nemus 2700, the
brand-new Nemus 3000 is a drum
screener that sets new standards
in maintenance and service-
friendliness. Longer discharge belts
and the ability to use screen drums
from competitor machines are
