SHREDDER AIR FILTRATION SYSTEM

BOFAR sold and commissioned a high-capacity dry filtration system for a 5,000 HP shredder, achieving extremely low exhaust air emissions.

Developed in cooperation with long-term partner Formula Air, the system extracts and cleans air from the shredder, windshifter, conveyor belts and sorting cabin, with a total capacity of 200,000 m³/h.

The independently verified result is an exhaust concentration of well below 10% of the legal limits.

TRENNSO - VEHA HDX METAL RECOVERY SYSTEM

BOFAR sold and commissioned a high-capacity milling and separation system for Shredder Heavy Fraction (SHF) at one of Europe’s largest shredders.

The system continuously processes large volumes of SHF, recovering and separating heavy metals, light metals, ferrous metals and residual waste.

Following commissioning, BOFAR and the customer further optimised the system, resulting in one of Europe’s most powerful SHF processing installations.

HIS - PRECIOUS METAL RECOVERY SYSTEM

Completed in early 2026, the latest HIS combines high capacity with precise separation— even for sub-1 mm particles.

Up to 40 tonnes/hour throughput
Accurately separates particles below 1 mm - 25mm
Separates input material into 5 distinct fractions
Improved separation technology and accuracy
Higher capacity than previous HIS generations

Building on BOFAR’s proven HIS principle, the system delivers high-throughput, fine-particle separation with exceptional precision for demanding recycling applications.

VERTICAL TRANSPORT BELT

Designed and built by BOFAR for a Belgian customer, this custom vertical conveyor transports approximately 20 tonnes of fine metal scrap in extremely limited space.

The system was engineered with 200% overcapacity, ensuring reliable, spill-free material transport even under significantly increased throughput.

SOUNDPROOFING OF MILLING LINE

BOFAR designed, manufactured and installed a soundproof enclosure for a 355 kW milling line, with one key requirement: zero disruption to production.

The installation was completed while the line remained operational, with only one planned shutdown required to rewire the operating panels.

>35 dB noise reduction
150 mm soundproof panels
Fire protection for the installation
Installed with minimal production downtime

A practical BOFAR solution combining noise control, fire protection and operational continuity.

RECONDITOINING HOPPER WITH SLAT CONVEYOR

This hopper with slat conveyor was delivered to BOFAR for a full overhaul. We designed and built a new bunker, refurbished the slats and repaired all wear parts. Additionally a new dosing slider was designed that can be operated from both sides. All bearings, chains and cogs were checked and all parts with wear were replaced.

CABLE PROCESSING INSTALLATION

BOFAR was asked to plan and construct a compact sized cable granulation plant on very limited space, but allowing for the production capacity of a much larger installation. Since completion 14 months ago this processing line has completed almost 2000 production hours, processing - on average - more than 50% above the projected capacity. To reduce construction cost, a refurbished Alpine granulator and turbo-mill were incorporated into the system.

RECONDITOINING HOPPER WITH SLAT CONVEYOR

Another hopper with slat conveyor was delivered to BOFAR for overhaul. We adjusted the bunker to hold 9m³, refurbished or replaced all wear partsand removed the dosing slider.

ALPINE UZ 45-125 - REFURBISHMENT

This Alpine Universal Shredder UZ 45-125 has had an extensive career in Switzerland before BOFAR acquired the machine form it's first owner. After a complete overhaul this machine has found a new home in Czech Republic, where it is once again being used to cut cable scrap.

ALPINE RO 63/100 RECONDITIONING

This Rotoplex 63/100 had been used in Switzerland by it's first owner for several years. Before commisioning this machine in a new project in the Netherlands, we decided to perform a full rebuild. This allows the machine to perform exactly like a new one for the next decade - or even longer. Since commisioning in 2021 this granulator has already produced nearly 2000 hours without fault.
