From intern to team colleague: Lia’s journey to success at HAAS Lia (17) completed an internship with us from January to mid-July and offers us some insight into her journey so far and her experiences at our company. She has shown commitment from day one and has developed from an interested intern into a valuable team colleague and future trainee. Internship as optimal preparation for future professional life Lia is a student at the technical secondary school in Höhr-Grenzhausen, specialising in design. In the first year of her two-year programme, she completes an internship in which she spends two days a week in school and three days in the workplace. Her second year consists purely of theory lessons before she takes her final exams in German, Maths, English and Design/Technology. Initially, Lia was sceptical about office work and started an internship at a company for installation and assembly. Looking for new opportunities, she came to us at HAAS and completed six taster days in our technical office. “I recognised the value of small project work and gained an insight into technical design work,” says Lia. Her interest in technical product design grew and she eventually found her place in the office. Everyday work and experiences in the company In the HAAS office, Lia’s day began with an overview of the tasks ahead and the opportunity to finalise assignments from the previous day. She supported her colleagues by printing, folding and distributing drawings and plans and familiarised herself with new responsibilities, such as working with Visual CADD. She appreciated the independent way of working and the support of her colleagues, who always answered all her questions and gave her advice. “I like the working atmosphere, our regular team breakfast (I love food!) and we have a great office size. In another company, I already had the experience of working in an open-plan office with over 30 colleagues. I found it very difficult to concentrate on my work.” Lia recently wrote a technical report on the new “HAAS fabric and film separator” and completed it with a successful grade of 2+ (B+). Working with various colleagues and departments (Technical Documentation and Marketing), she has already been able to get a taste of cross-departmental work. “I like the internship opportunity. It gives students a better insight into professional life. There are clear differences between everyday school life and a possible working life. In a professional environment, it’s easy to find out for yourself what level you’re at. Suddenly it becomes clear what you need things for and this may give you a different perspective. For example, maths used to be just maths, but now it makes sense because you need it to build machines. During my internship, I experienced a lot, was able to ask questions at any time and develop myself further.” No farewell forever Today is Lia’s last day of her internship at HAAS. Together with her colleagues in the department, she has a final breakfast to celebrate the day. Lia has a tear in her eye, she will miss the team. The internship was a win-win situation for everyone – Lia will be our Technical Product Design apprentice in 2025!   “See you soon dear Lia, it was a great internship with you! We are already looking forward to welcoming you as an apprentice next year!” Your department colleagues and the entire HAAS team.       Are you also interested in an internship and possibly even an apprenticeship at HAAS Recycling-Systems?

At HAAS, everything revolves around quality, durability and sustainability. Our machine reconditioning enables us to give machines a second life and conserve resources. Another impressive example of our work is the reconditioning of the stationary hammer mill “HAAS ARTHOS 1600-E”.   Quality that lasts for years This Hammermill was originally used in 2014 in a permanently installed HAAS waste wood processing plant in Germany, where it was part of a line and processed 25 – 30 tonnes of pre-shredded waste wood per hour. Despite its intensive use, the Hammermill still had a lot of potential and quality to offer.   A new life for the Hammermill After years of reliable service at the recycling plant, we have taken back the Hammermill and breathed new life into it. It may have been getting on in years, but it is far from being obsolete. Our comprehensive refurbishment and reconditioning ensure that this machine is back in top form.   New life, new possibilities Our experienced technicians have done a great job with the refurbishment. In order to raise performance and efficiency to a new level, the machine was given a new engine system with an impressive 315 kW. This Hammermill has proven that it can withstand the demands for years to come.   Learn more. Contact us to find out more about our HAAS ARTHOS Hammermill or HAAS used machines.

The growing demand for sustainable energy sources has led companies to increasingly rely on waste wood as a fuel for power generation. Efficient processing of this material is crucial in order to meet the needs of power plants while minimising the environmental impact. In this case study, we present the successful implementation of the HAAS Recycling-Systems waste wood processing plant at AVG Baustoffe Goch GmbH. A reliable supply to the power plant is ensured. We will give you an insight into a comprehensive plant project based on the latest technical standards. We would be happy to support you with your individual requirements – please contact us and benefit from our expertise. The AVG site in Rheinberg, part of the renowned AVG Group headquartered in Gennep, the Netherlands, plays a key role in sustainable energy generation. Directly connected to a power plant, the Rheinberg site is instrumental in processing 120,000 tonnes of waste wood per year into a high-quality fuel that is used to generate process steam and electricity. This innovative solution significantly reduces the use of fossil fuels.   The modernisation of the power plant has not only led to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions of around 190,000 tonnes per year but has also had a positive impact on other emissions such as sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides. The project therefore makes a significant contribution to protecting the environment and reducing the impact on the climate, while at the same time ensuring a reliable energy supply. The challenge AVG Baustoffe Goch GmbH was faced with the challenge of having to process 120,000 tonnes of waste wood per year according to precisely specified requirements to meet the power plant ‘s demand for process steam and electricity generation. The plant must process at least 60 tonnes of waste wood per hour and deliver clean wood chips without impurities to ensure the boiler ‘s optimum efficiency.   HAAS solution The decision in favour of a HAAS waste wood processing plant was based on many years of experience with HAAS technology at the Goch site and the successful implementation of an identical plant in the UK.   The plant consists of several key components, including the TYRON 2500-E 2.0 pre-shredder and the ARTHOS 2000-E hammermill, which enable efficient shredding of the waste wood.   Powerful neodymium magnetic separators and flat screens ensure optimum cleaning and screening of the waste wood chips, while a de-dusting system keeps the plant nearly dust-free. The Advantages of the HAAS plant plant The HAAS hammermill sets standards with an enormous and continuous processing capacity of 60 to 90 tonnes per hour. The clever downstream division into two lines ensures optimum separation of ferrous and especially nonferrous metals and a good material flow in further processing. The HAAS long particle separator efficiently sorts foils and fabrics in the material flow. This maximises the quality of the end product simply and effectively. The encapsulated machine technology creates a low dust, clean and safe working environment, fulfils the highest environmental standards and promotes the longevity of the machines. The modern filter technology also ensures a virtually dust-free process and therefore contributes significantly to improved product quality. Dynamic material switches offer operational safety, even in the event of unforeseen events. The sensor-controlled fi re protection device secures the system and ensures reliable operation.   A customised plant – from a qualified single source We work closely with our customers to analyse their specific requirements and circumstances to fulfil them in the best possible way.   Thanks to the precise manufacturing of all components before delivery eliminates the need for tedious reworking on site, saving time and making the assembly process more efficient.   We will plan your plant so that it is most efficient for you. What do you really need? What can be practically realised on your site?   We try to avoid unnecessary components and ensure a good material flow in the process. Our focus is on cost effectiveness, efficiency and the best possible product result.   Project results: The successful implementation of the HAAS waste wood processing plant at AVG Baustoffe Goch GmbH demonstrates the efficiency and reliability of our plant components. The optimised processing of waste wood not only ensures the supply of the power plant, but also makes an important contribution to sustainable energy generation and environmental protection. Costumer feedback: „With the HAAS waste wood processing plant, we can reliably cover the requirements and at the same time fulfil the strict specifications for clean wood chips. This plant offers efficient processing of waste wood of different grades, which contributes to sustainable energy generation. At the same time, our employees benefit from a significantly improved working environment thanks to the virtually dust-free plant. Thanks to HAAS, we can not only minimise our environmental impact, but also optimise the efficiency and safety of our operations.“   Reinhold Pancherz (AVG Rheinberg & AVG Goch) and Carsten Borgards (AVG Rheinberg)       Watch a video of the plant here: Plant Video Mit dem Laden des Videos akzeptieren Sie die Datenschutzerklärung von YouTube.Mehr erfahren Video laden YouTube immer entsperren  

Convincing live demo: Willi Strumm GmbH opts for reconditioned HAAS TYRON pre-shredder! Willi Strumm GmbH, a company of the renowned Jakob Becker Group, faced similar challenges to those many of you are familiar with. When modernising a site they had taken over, they were looking for a reliable solution for the shredding of waste wood and mixed commercial waste. This is where the story of success begins.   Could you imagine a machine live demo exceeding your expectations?   That’s how Mr Kichenmaier (Jakob Becker Group) and Mr Steingaß (Willi Strumm GmbH) felt. The goal? To shred waste wood and mixed commercial waste to a consistent grain size of around 250 mm. Until then, two shredders from a competitor had been used. The shredding results of the HAAS TYRON exceeded the previous results. The HAAS TYRON mastered its task effortlessly and clearly overtook the previous competitor machines in terms of throughput and the end product in the waste wood and waste area. The TYRON initially remained with the customer for a few days and further tests. Results were impressive, and after a few intensive tests on site, Willi Strumm GmbH decided to invest in the HAAS TYRON. The previously used pre-shredder was then taken in payment by HAAS. A few weeks ago, we reported in detail on our reconditioning of a TYRON; this very TYRON has now found its second home at Willi Strumm GmbH in Reichenbach. The robust quality of the HAAS machines and the thorough machine reconditioning make it possible to use a great machine on a small budget – and one that is immediately available. Today, the customer is extremely pleased with both the machine and the quality of the end product. This success story once again emphasises the efficiency and reliability of our HAAS machines.   “Efficiency and reliability are our top priorities. Our shredding requirements have been fulfilled and the daily demands are now handled effortlessly. Taking over the demo machine immediately was ideal for us. We have not experienced any disadvantages by purchasing a second-hand machine. On the contrary, the machines’ quality says it all and delivery times have been eliminated.” Mr Steingaß Authorised signatory and branch manager in Reichenbach, of Willi Strumm GmbH based in Baumholder.   Are you also looking for reliable and efficient recycling solutions?
