Technology
Our revolutionary process technology at Predatec offers remarkable benefits for urban mining, boasting high recovery rates and purity levels while preserving natural resources.
-
Our unique ecological separation process is highly efficient and economically competitive, surpassing known methods. (Patent pending)
-
Predatec Technology enables the reclamation of various commodities from production and post-consumer waste, including metals like Aluminium, Copper, Iron, and Precious Metals, as well as plastics, fibers, and minerals. With our process, over 20 different fractions can be recovered.
-
The Predatec process operates autonomously within a closed system, requiring only three workers for a shift with up to 10 tonnes per hour capacity. No additional tasks are necessary aside from removing contaminants such as batteries, PCB-capacitors, and toner.
-
Achieving recycling rates of up to 95 % and beyond, with purity levels exceeding 98 %, our process significantly reduces energy consumption by up to 90 % compared to thermal methods. This translates to minimal loss of valuable metals like Aluminium. Additionally, our process results in dramatically lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to primary Aluminium production, making it environmentally sustainable.

Simple thus reliable Predatec Technology, three main steps explained
Precutting
• Automatically presorting of compound materials
• Based on the composition and condition of the material
• In one or several process steps
• Particle size has to
Separation
• Mechanical Energy Input
• Separate the composite materials along the bonded surfaces
• Mechanical deformation of the materials based on their specific characteristics
Sorting
• Separation by screens (Criteria: Particle Size)
• Further separation by fluidized bed separator (Criteria: Weight and structure)
• Upon necessity wet separation (Criteria: specific weight)
