REWAG Entsorgung AG Maximizes Efficiency with SENNEBOGEN Material Handlers
Efficiently managing and processing waste from businesses and private customers is not just about recycling. For REWAG Entsorgung AG, it’s about maximizing the efficiency of all on-site systems, including the machinery they operate across their three Switzerland locations. This is where SENNEBOGEN’s material handlers play a crucial role.
Operating in three locations on the outskirts of Basel, REWAG Entsorgung AG processes thousands of tonnes of waste each year, from household rubbish to commercial construction and demolition debris. Their advanced processing systems are designed to handle a wide range of materials efficiently.
Environmentally Friendly Operations with SENNEBOGEN
REWAG Entsorgung AG’s disposal processes prioritize environmental friendliness. Most waste is manually sorted using specialized operators and material handlers, leading to a high recyclability rate. Their optimized systems, combined with highly efficient machinery, enhance their overall operation’s sustainability. The team at REWAG relies on SENNEBOGEN machines to maintain their competitive edge.
High-Rate Recycling with SENNEBOGEN
Founded in 1996, REWAG Entsorgung AG operates sites in Munichstein, Sissach, and Kaiseraugst, all within a 30km radius of Basel. The primary site at Kaiseraugst is home to 24 employees, including five machine operators who work to separate materials from both private and commercial waste for recycling.
Three SENNEBOGEN machines play pivotal roles in the site’s sorting process:
- SENNEBOGEN 817 E: The smallest material handler on-site, with a reach of up to nine meters and an operating weight of up to 18.6 tonnes, serves as a mobile machine.
- SENNEBOGEN 821 E (Electric): Used as a stationary machine, it has a reach of nine to 13 meters and an operating weight between 23.9 and 25.1 tonnes.
- SENNEBOGEN 821 (Mobile): Another model operating as a mobile material handler within the system.
The size of REWAG’s fleet is typical for the recycling business, which needs to focus on efficiency to deliver environmentally friendly disposal at fair prices. When their mobile 821 reached 14,000 operating hours, the new SENNEBOGEN 824 G was the natural replacement.
Max Performance Machines
The efficiency-focused features of the SENNEBOGEN 824 G appealed to the REWAG team. With a reach of 12 meters and an operating weight of up to 26.3 tonnes, it boasts SENNEBOGEN’s modular design, allowing each machine to be adapted to specific material handling needs.
The model offers a range of attachments, including an orange peel grab, clamshell grab, magnet, and sorting grab. REWAG’s new 824 G model came with a ULM deflection mechanism. Various undercarriage options are available, such as different pylon heights and wheeled, track, or pedestal designs.
Environmentally Focused Features
As an environmentally-focused business, the energy efficiency of SENNEBOGEN machines was a significant benefit. The efficient diesel engine features an automatic idle system to reduce fuel consumption, while optimized hydraulics maximize energy use. In-cab SENCON control systems allow operators to manage energy consumption closely, and Stage V exhaust systems further enhance the machine’s green credentials.
Operator Comfort and Efficiency
SENNEBOGEN’s design maximizes operator productivity with ergonomic seats, quality climate control, and spacious MaxCab cabins. Pascal Graff, the primary operator for the new machine, appreciates the MaxCab’s comfort and the enhanced visibility provided by the continuous windshield, which helps maintain safety on-site.
Simplified Maintenance
The straightforward servicing processes of SENNEBOGEN machines are a significant advantage. Centralized components and easily accessible service points simplify maintenance tasks. The SENCON and SENTRACK technology enables round-the-clock condition monitoring, allowing operations managers to plan repairs and servicing more effectively.
Conclusion
The combination of operator-first design and excellent customer service has made SENNEBOGEN machines the top choice for REWAG Entsorgung AG. As Pascal Graff highlights, the optimized features of the SENNEBOGEN G-series, along with the support from Kuhn Switzerland and SENNEBOGEN, have significantly benefited their operations.
