Redoma Recycling joins the Eldan Group

As of Jan. 1, 2016, Redoma Recycling AB, Sweden, joined the Eldan Group, headquartered in Denmark, as a fully owned subsidiary to Eldan Recycling A/S. The companies form the world’s largest manufacturer of cable recycling equipment with 90 years of joint experience, according to Eldan.

Eldan Recycling has been manufacturing cable recycling equipment for the last 60 years. The company says it has sold and installed several thousands of cable recycling lines around the world. Eldan says its machines are built with high-quality steel and that no cast iron parts are used in its shredders and granulators. The rotors are machined from solid steel, and all electrical controls and PLC (programmable logic controllers) programming is designed by Eldan in-house. The company says its focus has been to design and produce robust and long-lasting recycling equipment for the scrap recycling industry.

“Today Eldan is a market leading supplier of cable and WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) recycling lines for high-capacity installations. With capacities ranging from 2,000 kilograms (roughly 2 tons) per hour up to 12,000 kilograms (roughly 13 tons) per hour, we are one of the most powerful suppliers in the market,” says Dr. Toni Reftman, managing director of Eldan Recycling A/S.

Eldan says its equipment is designed to process heavy and tough materials at higher capacity. The equipment can be used for lighter applications as well.

To make the process more cost efficient as well as to lower initial investment costs, Eldan Recycling A/S says it has incorporated Redoma Recycling AB. Redoma specializes in designing and manufacturing small and midsize cable recycling lines. Since 1984, Redoma has delivered and installed several hundred cable recycling lines worldwide and is a market leader in small and midsize cable recycling lines, Eldan says.

“Redoma has like Eldan its own design. The machines are lighter and smaller compared to Eldan equipment, making our companies a perfect match,” Reftman says.

“Redoma will still be acting as an independent equipment supplier,” he continues. “As a member of the Eldan Group, Redoma will be using technology from Eldan and also from its Swedish sister company Rapid Granulator AB.”

Traditionally, Redoma offers three types of cable recycling lines, Thunderhawk, Powercat and Firefox, offering cost-efficient, tailor-made system solutions with capacities ranging from 200 kilograms (440 pounds) per hour up to 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) per hour.

For tough or reinforced applications, Eldan says its shredding technology can be incorporated in the Redoma systems.

“By adding Redoma recycling equipment to the Eldan portfolio, we create the largest and most competent cable recycling equipment manufacturer in the world with a joint experience of 90 years,” Reftman says. “For our customers, this means that we are now able to offer cable recycling equipment in any price segment and for any type of cable. We have small compact lines for less than €30,000 as well as heavy-duty equipment handling large, heavy-reinforced cables in high capacity applications.”
