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 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 like trommels, and flip-flow screens were falling short.
To further enhance the capability of its Dandenong South facility, Valoriza recently upgraded their 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.
Valoriza’s Country Head – Australia, Michael Allaway, says the business firmly believed 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,” said 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 kW, 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 every unit supplied by Lincom Group, the new machine is supported by dependable after-sales care. With Komptech Connect! monitoring and the backing of Lincom’s responsive service team, Valoriza can stay confident in reaching its performance and environmental goals.
