The Crespotec® binders from C&D Technical Applications are made from natural wheat and burn with little smoke in a CO2-neutral way. This means that synthetic solutions that form harmful combustion products can be dispensed with, offering an important environmental advantage. The Crespel & Deiters Group, of which C&D Technical Applications is a part, is able to ensure an unrestricted supply of the material owing to the abundant availability of European wheat, forward-looking stockpiling and long-term contracts.
Carsten Mergelmeyer, Sales Manager at C&D Technical Applications, summarises: “The Crespotec® Compaction Optimiser is a groundbreaking development in terms of both expense and the environment: with no need for lengthy trials that require tons of material, optimal results can be obtained with much lower quantities of water and binder. And, thanks to short drying times, our customers save energy and reduce operating costs by maximising raw material utilisation. Briquetting in the metal and recycling industry is a good example of how economic and ecological interests go hand in hand.”
