Articles and case studies
Explore real examples of our work. In this section, you will find actual projects we have delivered for our customers – from solving complex technical challenges to deploying custom-built machines. We showcase how our machines and technologies help optimise processes, save resources and bring practical solutions to life.
How the CASTULIK DX160 shredder supports the recycling of cemetery candles.
Thanks to the CASTULIK DX160 shredder and a mechanical‑thermal processing technology, the company REPARAF from Zohor (Slovakia) transforms hundreds of tonnes of waste into recycled paraffin and alternative fuel.
Knife mill as a wood shredder.
Knife mills offer a precise and energy efficient alternative to traditional single shaft wood shredders. Thanks to their small cutting gap, high rotor speed, and the close positioning of the knives to the screens, they produce a fine, homogeneous output with minimal dust. On the other hand, single shaft shredders, excel in robustness and resistance to metal contamination, but they tend to perform worse with fine fractions, wet wood, or fibrous materials. The choice of technology therefore depends on the type of wood, the required output size, material purity, and performance demands. The optimal solution is best confirmed by practical testing of the specific material on both types of machines.
How hazardous waste processing costs are shredded.
Shredding of hazardous waste significantly reduces storage and transportation costs. See the experience of DETOX (SK) with the twin-shaft shredder DX160.
Metal swarfs shredding as a part of Czech Railways Cargo’s sustainable operations.
During locomotive wheel repairs at the Czech Railways Cargo workshop in Ceske Budejovice, long steel turnings were produced that filled entire storage areas and made recycling transport unnecessarily expensive. After installing the CASTULIK DR120/600 shredder, the swarf density increased tenfold, saving the company hangar sized storage space and significantly reducing logistics costs.
