DWS Systems makes international exposition debut at IFAT

Company is a joint venture between Siltbuster and Doppstadt GH.

DWS Systems, the joint venture between U.K.-based Siltbuster, the water treatment specialist, and the German recycling equipment company Doppstadt GmbH, will be exhibiting at IFAT 2016 in Munich. This will be the first time DWS Systems has taken part in an international show since the company was formed in 2015.

DWS Systems will be exhibiting in Hall B1/404, displaying the latest Gritbuster WT-250 road sweepings recycling system. The WT-250 is engineered to handle road sweepings, gully waste and trommel fines on a commercial scale, handling up to 25 tonnes per hour. It uses water to further separate recyclables—washed gravel and sand products—making it easier for material recovery facilities to separate on a large scale the constituent elements of the waste they handle. This boosts the level of material reuse and minimises waste going to landfill. The company says the WT-250 is in the running for a MRW National Recycling Award.

DWS Systems also will be showing its range of water treatment technologies, including the HB40R lamella clarifier. This is specifically designed for the removal of suspended solids and other matter from process waters so the water can be reused. As a result, those using DWS Systems’ water treatment kit can operate a closed-loop process; they don’t have to rely on large settlement lagoons to naturally treat waste water. The net result is a compact solution that can be rapidly deployed on small sites to reprocess a range of waste materials.

Dr. Richard Coulton, founder of Siltbuster and CEO of DWS Systems UK, says, “As just these two products show, we have some powerful solutions for the world’s recycling industry. The collaboration between our two businesses means we can roll them out to an international audience much faster, which is important as the recycling sector faces some real challenges which our systems address. Our presence at IFAT is an important first step in that process. It’s a great opportunity to showcase both the new business and most importantly, the technologies we offer.”
