ACTA Crusher

BEMA supplies bale openers, shredders, and crushers used in utility companies, for the crushing and shredding of media, in the recycling industry, and in primary industries. In tandem with recycling becoming essential in all areas of society and recycling occurring in all industries, ACTA shredders, ACTA crushers, and ACTA bale openers are becoming ever more essential in many industrial sectors.

Along with BEMA’s product line of augers and screw augers, equipment for screw conveying, and screw conveyor flights, all of them available as component parts as well as integral to total solutions, ACTA and BEMA’s process equipment represent a comprehensive and upmarket product range for many industrial sectors.

Our experience with high-quality industrial production means that we can offer customers crushers, shredders, and bale openers at reasonable prices. Many years in the business means that BEMA is a stable collaboration partner and a solution from BEMA is therefore synonymous with a safe and long-term solution.

An ACTA crusher or shredder is constructed with rotating knives in strong steel capable of crushing or shredding even the most difficult items.

The rotating knives are placed side by side and the machine can then be sized to incorporate additional knives next to one another, depending on the capacity required of the crusher. Items to be crushed or shredded are placed in the infeed hopper above the knives and the output is conveyed by screw augers/screw conveyors at the bottom of the machine.

The functional principle is fairly simple, but the requirements for power and construction are substantial. ACTA crushers and shredders have been produced since 1976 and some of these machines are still in use around the world.

This is due to a very well-tested design and strong construction with a documented longevity.

The machines are constructed for specific needs, typically with slow-rotating knives and screw augers, high-powered gear motors with individual controls to provide the machine with a large-scale power reserve.

ACTA machines are available with screws and knives in both carbon steel and stainless steel.

Gypsum is a wonderful material which can be reused time after time. That is to say that residues can be crushed and form part of a new production of gypsum boards. Gypsum-board residues, faulty products, etc. are dropped into the infeed hopper of the ACTA machine to be crushed in the machine. The output size can be selected to suit the purpose. The perforated disc can e.g. be fitted with hexagonal holes dimensioned to reduce the size of the crushed material.

We produce large amounts of e-waste or waste from electronic and electronic equipment (WEEE). When we e.g. replace our smartphones, computers, or flat screens, they are deposited for recovery. By crushing electronic waste in a crusher, it can be separated into metal, plastic, and other synthetic substances, which are recoverable. Crushing and shredding of waste materials is crucial to ensure increased sustainability, more green solutions, more reuse and recycling – resulting in overall reductions in consumption and less negative environmental impact on our planet.

Mineral wool, glass wool, rock wool – insulation materials used everywhere in the building trade. Residues and discarded insulation material can be shredded in an ACTA shredder for reuse. Since it is very energy-intensive to produce e.g. rock wool, recycling it plays an important role in the circular economy.

Wood waste can also be shredded with advantage. It can then be reused as chipboard, as fuel in combined heat and power plants (CHP plants), or similar. Wood waste often contains nails, screws, and fittings and will therefore need to be coarsely shredded in a pre-breaker, before being shredded more finely.

PET bottles – non-returnable plastic bottles – are retrieved and reused for new plastic-based materials. It is environmentally friendly, sustainable, and reduces consumption of natural resources. The bottles are pressed in large, highly compressed bales. The bales are opened using an ACTA bale opener, after which they are loosened and typically go on to a crusher that crushes the plastic bottles further, or they are reused as they are.

Since 1947, BEMA has been a major supplier for the industrial market, the recycling industry, and the utilities industry. An important function at BEMA is the internal project department, staffed by highly specialised engineers. They are happy to advise you at all stages of the process from idea to finished product. Often, BEMA offers test set-ups and test runs of a solution to ensure that everything is tested in operation prior to the final installation.
