HAAS News

At HAAS, sustainability takes centre stage. As a manufacturer of machines for the recycling industry, we actively contribute to recycling residual materials and making valuable materials reusable. Sustainability goes beyond the construction of new machines – we give used machines a second life and thus contribute to the conservation of resources. The quality and durability of our HAAS machines is undisputed. That is why our used machines are also extremely sought after and sought after. Many of our customers who invest in new machines trade in their old machines with us. But these machines are not simply discarded – they undergo a technical overhaul with us. Our machine reconditioning is an art based on solid craftsmanship and technical expertise. With our “Experienced Vikings“, we offer you tried and tested HAAS used machines that have proven to be extremely reliable in operation and are far from being “old iron”.

Every component is checked, replaced if necessary or cleaned. I like to help these machines regain their almost new condition piece by piece.” Jan (HAAS machine builder) appreciates the challenge of making the robust quality of the machines visible again: “When the machines are just delivered to us again, it sometimes seems impossible at first glance that these machines will once again shine in new splendour. Recycling machines are not treated with squeamishness and you can see that in the machines after a few years. The result of the reconditioned machines excites me and that’s exactly why I like doing this work.” Our apprentice, Julian, says: “I learn a lot during a reprocessing. In the department I went through before (assembly of new machines), I already experienced how much work goes into the construction of a new machine. But here, when dismantling the used machines, I realise what demands are made on the individual components and how crucial every detail is for the functionality and quality of our machines.” A current example is a HAAS TYRON 2000 XL 2.0. The machine was previously in operation at a German industrial company. The TYRON was heavily used for shredding wood, industrial waste and light metal. First, the machine was given a basic cleaning before it was completely disassembled in our workshop. All important components were checked according to a set procedure and replaced if necessary. The body was repainted, a new conveyor belt was fitted and all fluids and oils were replaced.

We are proud to offer our customers not only new machines, but also Vikings that are ready to impress with performance even in their second phase of life.

Your customer needs are our focus. When looking for a customised recycling solution, these should perfectly match your individual requirements. In view of the multitude of technical promises from various suppliers, it is often a challenge to make the optimal choice. This is exactly where we come in. Our live presentations for shredders in the recycling sector allow you to experience our machines up close – directly at your site. Recently, we received an enquiry from a waste management company that wanted to invest in a new solution after using a competitor’s model for many years. The challenge of being able to efficiently shred materials such as mattresses and nonwovens was particularly important in the choice of machine. Metal springs from mattresses, fibres from fleece and foils can easily wrap around the cutting tools in shredding machines and block them. The company became aware of our HAAS TYRON pre-shredder through a recommendation. “The heart of our TYRON is the intelligent 2-shaft system. Two independently driven shredding shafts keep the material moving continuously, both forwards and backwards. This is how we achieve maximum throughput rates, even when reversing.” Patrick Szubrin, Sales Manager at HAAS Recycling Systems. The waste management company took the great opportunity of a HAAS live demonstration. “We proudly presented the HAAS TYRON 2000 XL 2.0 twin-shaft pre-shredder. The goal was to shred mattresses, fleece and foils to a size of less than 300 mm. The customer was impressed! Not only did we achieve the desired particle size, but we also mastered the challenge of shredding critical and large-area material without malfunctions or interruptions. Even after five hours of operation, the tools (shafts) did not show any contamination or winding. The focus was on shredding a wide variety of commercial waste, with particular attention paid to handling challenging materials. The live demo impressively confirmed that the TYRON easily meets these requirements. The shredding tools (shafts) do not become clogged even with critical material, but always remain free of wrappers.” Olaf Schröder, meetra Recycling Maschinen and HAAS sales partner. At HAAS, we go beyond these promises and offer you real insights into the performance of our machines. We look forward to inspiring you at a live presentation and offer you our long-term support.

VAMA delivers tailored solutions for recycling plants and biomass facilities that comprehensively meet all requirements.   VAMA followed our invitation and visited us with the entire staff at the IFAT 2022 in Munich. On site, the team took a close look at the HAAS TYRON hybrid, convinced themselves of its advantages and were interested in a cooperation with HAAS. „Together with a sales colleague, I visited VAMA in Italy. We were warmly welcomed, got to know and appreciate each other better and thus the future cooperation was agreed upon. VAMA is well positioned with sales representatives who know their business. The comprehensive after-sales service with an extensive, qualified range of technology, their own service vehicles and their own workshop halls complete the overall offer. Our customers can feel that ‘they are in good hands’ when they deal with VAMA. “ Steffen Heymann, HAAS sales representative responsible for VAMA   „In mid-March of this year, we received our first HAAS TYRON 2000 XL. Our team was happy about the comprehensive training by Steffen Heymann and Andrzej Macalla from HAAS. We tried out many different materials in the shredding process and got to know the machine. We then quickly started our own first demo tour in Italy with the TYRON primary shredder. Customers and interested clients were particularly positively surprised by the shredding results in commercial and bulky waste. The asynchronous drive system impresses here with optimal infeed results and reliable, long-lasting operation. “ Melissa Maccaro and Marino Colak, Sales Representatives at VAMA ECOLOGY SRL   Further demonstrations in Italy are scheduled, if you are interested, please contact VAMA directly (+39 0421 310590 or info@vamaecology.it) or us.

PETRUCCIANI OLIVER Trasporti e rottami is active in the Swiss canton of Ticino for recycling and disposal of many types of waste and recyclable goods. Bulky waste, wood, green waste, construction waste, paper/cardboard, electrical and electronic equipment, as well as all metals and specified waste, can be disposed of here. For the second time, PETRUCCIANI relies on a good 2nd hand TYRON pre-shredder – with complete conviction. At Petrucciani, after separation and sorting, the waste material is pressed into bales or shredded and then delivered to companies that specialise in material recycling. The TYRON pre-shredder is especially used for the shredding of waste wood. “Not all recycling companies have high tonnages of waste to be shredded. For such companies, investing in a 2nd hand machine, instead of a new pre-shredder, is more lucrative. It happens that other recycling companies want to replace their HAAS TYRON pre-shredder with a new TYRON, yet the old one is still in good technical condition. We take these used machines back, subject them to an extensive quality check as well as a complete overhaul and offer them as low-priced and immediately available machines.” Steffen Heymann, Sales representative at HAAS Recycling-Systems “Solid design and superior processing are enough reasons to make HAAS TYRON attractive, even as a 2nd hand machine – I was able to convince myself! In 2015 we bought a used HAAS TYRON 1500 and it has served us well until today. Our needs have changed somewhat and our new 2nd hand TYRON 2000 not only offers more power, but compared to the previous TYRON on hook lift, we now also enjoy much more flexible comfort, thanks to its crawler track. Today, the demand for a finer end product is higher and that is exactly what we are now achieving with the finer tool configuration. We look forward to everyday life with our “experienced Viking” and can definitely recommend the purchase of a 2nd hand HAAS machine.” Oliver Petrucciani, PETRUCCIANI OLIVER Trasporti e rottami   The HAAS TYRON 1500 is now being loaded and delivered back to the German Westerwald. After a thorough check, the machine will next be awaited by its next owner. You are also interested in an affordable and solid 2nd hand recycling machine?

We are pleased to welcome M+P – represented by Managing Director Florian Michels – back into the circle of our loyal customers and wish them all the best with the new TYRON! The TYRON hybrid from HAAS is designed for high performance in shredding and is powered by a 280 kW electric motor. The electric motor is energy efficient. Compared to diesel-hydraulic drives, the Viking can reduce energy costs by up to 70 %. With an additional diesel generator, the pre-shredder can be moved by a crawler track. The purchase and the resulting conversion to a sustainable technology – M+P saves 105 tonnes of CO² per year. “Robust, easy to operate and incredibly powerful – and not only in waste wood. I am convinced that we will have many years of pleasure with this TYRON.” Florian Michels, Managing Director of M+P Umweltdienste GmbH

888 years of employment – a great number 33 years of HAAS – actual 94 employees – who work in total 888 for the company   This year we are celebrating eight employment anniversaries at HAAS. These eight employees have been with our company for a total of 135 years, something we are very proud to celebrate. The honouring of the jubilarians took place during our anual staff event before Christmas. Meinolf Zimmermann celebrates his 30th anniversary at HAAS. He is now the third employee we have been able to rely on for 30 years. „As a trained design engineer, I helped to found the construction department in the company and supervised the plant planning. Designing something new, implementing developments in a team, that fascinated me since I was a young man. I like to work with people and decided in the 90s, that the sale of machines and plants should be the new challenge for me. An additional professional training to become an business economist should give me the necessary support. Certainly it was not easy for me to leave the planning and construction department but today I must say that it was the right decision.“ Meinolf Zimmermann Wolfgang Benner and Patrick Szubrin both celebrate their 20th anniversary. Volker Schneider, Volker Müller, Roland Kaminski are celebrating their 15th anniversary, Enrico Kuse and Rene Perne their 10th. Such long periods of service can not be taken for granted in our fast-moving times. We are very grateful to be able to build on the wealth of experience of such loyal employees. Our heartfelt thanks go to all jubilarians.

Clear recommendation for the Viking! The “K. Müller AG“ was taken over by Remondis Schweiz AG in 2019. REMONDIS is one of the world’s market leaders in the waste management and recycling sector. Müller AG offers complete solutions for all kinds of waste management logistics and transports. The company provides large industrial customers as well as private households with uncomplicated and flexible solutions in a wide range of waste management areas. In order to optimise the processing of municipal and commercial waste, bulky waste and waste wood, Müller AG was looking for a robust and flexible primary shredder. The search was successful! A HAAS TYRON 2000 XL 2.0 has recently taken over the primary shredding. “With the HAAS TYRON we have found a machine that satisfies our requirements and whose price-performance ratio has convinced us. The TYRON effortlessly shreds all incoming waste, which makes it possible to achieve significantly better transport utilisation. In addition to the impressive throughput capacity, we were convinced by the simple operation of the primary shredder and the robust cutting tools of the shredding shafts. Thanks to these, we can actually shred many different materials, achieve a suitable end product of approx. 0 – 300 mm over a very long period of time. In addition, the integrated misting system reduces dust emissions to a minimum and ensures more pleasant working and less dust deposits around the machine. We are very happy with our purchase and can highly recommend this primary shredder to all recycling companies with high volumes of commercial waste.“ Claudio Goires, Head of Operations Mülliland/K2 Waste Management Centre of K. Müller AG The photo was taken at the delivery of the HAAS TYRON primary shredder (from left to right Steffen Heymann from HAAS, Claudio Goires, Collin Bartsch, Jetan Bufarti from Müller AG).

It is important to us to share success and give a piece back to others This year, our Christmas donation will go to the Children‘s Cancer Aid „Unnauer Patenschaft“. The Unnau sponsorship was founded in 1986. Children and young people with cancer and serious illnesses, as well as their families from the Westerwald region, are supported. For example, therapy costs (which health insurance companies do not cover), costs of medical aids (for which health insurance companies do not feel responsible), single payments for urgently needed purchases or travel costs are covered. Currently, the “Unnau Patenschaft” is supporting a family with necessary renovation measures at home. The installation of an outdoor lift is necessary to enable the sick daughter to move around the house. The costs of more than 45,000 € are covered by health insurance with a cap of max. 4,000 € – help is urgently needed here. We very much appreciate that the members of the “Unnauer Patenschaft” do their voluntary work free of charge to help those in need, so that every cent of the money raised goes to the benefit of the sick people concerned. Many thanks to the team of the “Unnauer Patenschaft”. We wish all members and affected families a merry Christmas.   If you wish, you can also participate with a donation: www.unnauer-patenschaft.de/neu Sparkasse Westerwald-Sieg BIC: MALADE51AKI IBAN: DE97 5735 1030 0101 0216 99 — Picture: HAAS Recycling-Systems (Armin Haas, Marion Wüst and TYRON mascot) with donation cheque to the representatives of the “Unnauer Patenschaft” (Dorothee Wenzelmann and Michael Wiedemann).
