Asphalt rolled roofing materials and shingles scrap are reprocessed without primary cutting to pieces. The rolled roofing materials can be fed in the equipment in the rolled state.
Option 1
Extra Fine Shredding
Extra Fine Shredding Equipment can be installed directly at the asphalt roofing materials manufacturing facility.
If it is not possible to place REMA reprocessing equipment directly at customer’s manufacturing facility (lack of industrial space, etc.), it can be installed at the manufacturing plant developed and built by REMA, aiming at the production of new asphalt roofing materials.
Mineral particle size after reprocessing (extra fine shredding) with REMA equipment:
Polyester*, glass and cellulose backings are shredded to individual fibers with size less than 1.0 mm.
*Power consumption and costs of maintenance wear-and-tear increase by 15-20% when reprocessing materials with polyester backings.
power consumption
max. 45 kW per ton
costs of maintenance wear-and-tear
max. 20 USD per ton
Option 2
Extra Fine Shredding and Pelletization
Post-industrial scrap is to be subjected to extra fine shredding followed by pelletization (granulation) and coating process using dolomite, limestone or talc powders. It provides ease and efficiency of managing, storing and transporting of REMATRIX-Pellets. These pellets can be subsequently used for the production of new asphalt roofing materials.
Mineral particle size after reprocessing (extra fine shredding) with REMA equipment:
Polyester*, glass and cellulose backings are shredded to individual fibers with size less than 1.0 mm.
*Power consumption and costs of maintenance wear-and-tear increase by 15-20% when reprocessing materials with polyester backings.
power consumption
max. 50 kW per ton
costs of maintenance wear-and-tear
max. 30 USD per ton
Option 3
Fine Shredding and Pelletization
Mineral particle size after reprocessing (fine shredding) with REMA equipment:
Polyester*, glass and cellulose backings are shredded to individual fibers with size less than 5.0 mm.
*Power consumption and costs of maintenance wear-and-tear increase by 15-20% when reprocessing materials with polyester backings.
power consumption
max. 35 kW per ton
costs of maintenance wear-and-tear
max. 20 USD per ton
