Industrial equipment distributor Bliss & Reels is entering the recycling equipment market and aims to take on one of Australia’s largest waste streams in partnership with French manufacturer MTB
Bliss & Reels has a wealth of experience in supplying, commissioning, and servicing a variety of production machinery for steel, concrete, asphalt and timber industries.
Now it’s using its expertise to help create a smarter, greener Australian economy. The company is entering a new era, partnering with French recycler and recycling equipment manufacturer MTB.
Martin Kesselring, Managing Director Bliss & Reels, says the strategic move comes on the back of regulatory changes in Australia’s waste and recycling landscape and aligns with the company’s vision for resource recovery.
“We’ve got to stop looking at waste as waste, instead treating it as a valuable resource,” Kesselring says.
“With other countries no longer accepting our rubbish, and the Australian Government introducing waste export bans, it creates a lot of opportunity here in Australia.”
Stefan Reiling, Business Development for Recycling and Automation, says secondary mining of metal and copper from Australia’s “mountain” of waste tyres is an ideal introduction into the industry.
Reiling will head Bliss & Reels recycling division, working closely with MTB to bring its containerised solutions for tyre recycling to Australia.
He says one of the attractions of MTB is that it not only manufactures recycling equipment for metal recovery but operates its own nonferrous recycling plants.
“The idea that MTB carries out practical production is very attractive,” he says. “They use the machines they develop.”
MTB’s range of equipment extends from full recycling lines to turnkey and compact lines but it’s the recycling line in a container that Reiling believes will be suited to the Australian market.
“It’s a range of ready-to-use lines made up of a series of MTB machines contained in one or various containers,” he says.
“It’s plug and play. When we talk to customers about their recycling challenges, this seems like a good solution, especially for remote areas.”
MTB continually expands its equipment range to provide a variety of solutions for all types of waste. New equipment is designed to respond to market challenges and to perfect solutions.
“Innovation is really a key factor for us,” explains MTB Sales Manager Romain Doeppen. “We take our role of advising our customers very seriously, so that together we can design the most technically efficient recycling lines, but also the most profitable and energy-efficient.
“The evolution of our range and the integration of new technologies enable us to meet ever more complex demands.”
