Why Valoriza has put its faith in the Komptech Multistar L3.
Processing high-moisture organic waste is one of the most demanding challenges in modern resource recovery, particularly for facilities operating at scale.
Valoriza, a business at the forefront of sustainable waste processing solutions in Victoria, designed its operations around maximising resource recovery and producing AS4454 certified high-quality compost.
To improve composted food organics and garden organics (FOGO) screening performance and manage wetter and varied input materials, Valoriza identified the need for a more advanced processing solution that could consistently perform better where traditional methods such as trommels, and flip-flow screens were falling short.
To further enhance the capability of its Dandenong South facility, Valoriza recently upgraded its equipment to include the Komptech Multistar L3.
Situated in one of Victoria’s key industrial zones, Valoriza processes more than 100,000 tonnes of kerbside-collected organic waste each year from households and businesses in Melbourne’s south-east.
The Komptech Multistar L3’s role is to cleanly divide the composted FOGO into fine, medium, and oversized fractions. With its ability to maintain throughput even in wet, sticky conditions, the star screen delivers greater efficiency, reliability, and flexibility. Michael Allaway, Valoriza’s Country Head – Australia, says the business firmly believes no other machine matches the throughput and separation efficiency of the Komptech L3, especially under high-moisture conditions.
“Combined with an electric Crambo shredder, also on site, and the strong support from Lincom Group, Valoriza’s decision to reinvest in Komptech was easy,” says Michael.
“The new Komptech Multistar L3 forms part of our reinvestment in the Dandenong facility as we optimise our operations to deliver a FOGO processing showcase to the market over the next two years.”
This high-efficiency star screen features a fully electric drive system rated between 60 and 80 kilowatts, providing quiet, low-emission operation.
With a capacity of up to 250 cubic metres per hour, the machine can adjust particle size at the press of a button, offering outstanding flexibility and control.
Built on a semi-trailer chassis, the machine is highly mobile and easy to integrate into existing composting lines.
As with all equipment supplied by Lincom, the new unit is backed by comprehensive after-sales support.
Lincom Group maintains a national inventory of genuine spare parts and provides ongoing maintenance, repair, and operator training to ensure peak machine performance.
Through Komptech Connect! monitoring and a responsive service footprint, Lincom Group supports customers like Valoriza to achieve their performance and environmental targets.
