USB Service GmbH relies on innovative AI technology: more efficient recycling thanks to DiscSpreader® automove

Step towards sustainable and efficient recycling processes

USB Service GmbH, a pioneer in municipal waste management in Bochum, is taking a further step towards sustainable and efficient recycling processes by using the DiscSpreader® automove from Westeria. The AI-supported disc spreader ensures consistently optimal material distribution and forms the basis for maximum efficiency in bulky waste processing.

The problem?

The sorting of bulky waste, in particular the separation of untreated wood for recycling, is complex and places high demands on the technology. Precise material distribution on the conveyor belt is crucial. However, conventional systems require regular manual checks to ensure that the distribution remains optimal.

In practice, this means that plant operators often have to decide whether to interrupt production briefly to make adjustments or accept sub-optimal distribution – and thus risk a significant loss of efficiency. The choice is often made in favour of the latter, which considerably impairs the efficiency of all subsequent sorting processes.

The solution: the self-learning DiscSpreader® automove

The DiscSpreader® automove revolutionises
this problem

Using artificial intelligence, the system continuously monitors the material flow and adapts to changing conditions in real time.
1

Automatic adjustment:

The distribution discs are controlled by the self-learning algorithm, which constantly evaluates new data from camera sensors. Manual intervention is completely eliminated.
2

Operation without interruption

Cleaning and adjustment of the distribution are carried out automatically and seamlessly during operation. Efficiency losses due to system downtimes are therefore a thing of the past.
3

Maximum sustainability

Constant optimisation not only increases energy efficiency, but also the quality of the subsequent sorting processes.

The added value: efficiency at all levels
The advantages of the DiscSpreader® automove go far beyond distribution

No loss of efficiency due to neglected maintenance

While conventional systems work inefficiently without regular adjustment, the DiscSpreader® automove guarantees constant peak performance.

Optimisation of the entire process chain

An even distribution of the material drastically improves the performance of sorting units such as NIR sorters or air classifiers

Lower operating costs

Dispensing with manual checks saves time and human resources. At the same time, there is no loss of production due to system downtime.

Flexibility with heterogeneous materials

Even with fluctuating material flows, the system adapts dynamically without the operator having to intervene.
