Different materials. One challenge: consistent feeding. Matthiessen shows how .

As recycling plants process increasingly diverse and demanding feedstocks, consistent material feeding is becoming a critical part of process performance.

Matthiessen Lagertechnik GmbH says controlled feeding can help maintain a stable material flow and improve the conditions for downstream processing.

Different feedstocks — including commercial and household waste, plastics, paper and cardboard, compost, green waste, metals and shredder fractions — place different demands on material handling.

Matthiessen Dosing Bunkers combine storage, conveying and controlled dosing in one system.

A More Flexible Approach to Dosing Bunker Design

Matthiessen has developed a more flexible, modular approach to dosing bunker design. Instead of relying on predefined configurations, the system can be adapted to the individual application, including bunker length, height and volume.

Key Engineering Features

• Modular design — adjustable bunker length, height and volume
• Flexible feeding systems — chain belt, moving floor or scraper conveyor
• Material-specific dosing drum — designed for a consistent material flow
• Interchangeable carrier blades — adaptable to different feed products
• Bolted wear parts — easier replacement and maintenance
• Hardox wear plates — for abrasive metal fractions

Controlled Material Flow

Feed rate can be controlled by adjusting the conveyor and dosing-drum speeds. This allows the material flow to be adapted to the requirements of downstream processing equipment.

The underlying principle is straightforward: moving from batch feeding to a controlled, continuous material flow can create more stable conditions for downstream processing.

More than 50 countries. More than 800 reference projects.

Matthiessen says its machines are used in recycling and waste-processing applications worldwide, covering a wide range of material-handling requirements.
