10 Years of Scrapetec – From an Idea to an International Partner

Scrapetec International: From an idea to an international Technology Partner in the Conveyor Industry.

Ten years ago, Scrapetec International GmbH was officially founded. Yet the success story began a year earlier, when the two founders Wilfried Dünnwald and Thorsten Koth first met: two entrepreneurs with different strengths that complemented each other perfectly. One impressed with technical ingenuity and a wealth of ideas, while the other contributed a strong sales network and a clear vision for international markets.
From this partnership, a company was born that today is recognized worldwide for its highly specialized solutions in conveyor transfer technology. Scrapetec’s products enable dust-free and spillage-free operations – efficient, sustainable, and entirely without additional energy consumption.

Over the years, Scrapetec has built a strong international presence. Close partnerships with companies in Peru, Chile, Brazil, the USA, Europe, and beyond ensure that these innovative systems are now applied in a wide range of industries: from mining and cement production to gypsum plants and power stations.
“We are proud that over the past ten years we have been able to contribute to making conveyor operations cleaner, safer, and more sustainable – and that we have always been able to rely on strong partnerships worldwide,” the founders emphasize.

Looking to the future, Scrapetec remains optimistic: In the coming years, new ideas and developments will continue to make conveyor operations even more efficient.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all partners, customers, and companions who have supported us along the way. Together, we are making conveyor technology around the world just a little bit better.

The PrimeTracker – no more belt misalignment
The PrimeTracker is an innovative system for belt tracking on conveyor systems, particularly used in industries with high demands on belt precision and operational availability. Functionality and Technical Features Conventional belt tracking systems usually intervene only after a significant deviation or misalignment of the conveyor belt has already occurred. This causes friction and increases wear, leading to considerable costs for maintenance and spare parts. The PrimeTracker adopts a different approach: - Early Correction: The system reacts as soon as the belt slightly strays from the center. Thanks to an innovative mechanism, the PrimeTracker immediately applies gentle corrective forces with minimal friction. - 360-Degree Freedom of Movement: The PrimeTracker features a flexible central bearing, allowing free movement in all 360°. This ensures extremely fast response times and reliably guides the belt back to the central position—without significant friction between belt and roller. - Self-Regulating Functionality: In normal operation, the PrimeTracker acts like a conventional conveyor roller and does not actively influence the belt.

Scrapetec: A Company Rooted in Mining
From the Lower Rhine to the world: How the mining start-up Scrapetec is revolutionizing the bulk goods industry with innovative solutions for conveyor technology. In the heart of the Lower Rhine region, specifically in Kamp-Lintfort, a success story began a few years ago that is now shaping the global bulk material industry. ScrapeTec International GmbH was founded by Wilfried Dünnwald, an experienced miner who transformed decades of underground mining experience into innovative solutions for conveyor technology. Patented Innovations for Greater Safety and Efficiency The starting point for development was a problem familiar to many operators of conveyor systems: dust, material loss, and heavy wear at transfer points. With the patented AirScrape side-sealing system, Dünnwald and his team achieved a breakthrough. The technology uses the airflow generated by the conveyor belt to effectively retain dust and fine material. The result: significantly less cleaning effort, reduced maintenance, and a noticeable improvement in workplace safety.

Preserving Quality in Grain and Food Conveying
Preserving Quality in Grain and Food Conveying
Maintaining food integrity is increasingly important due to global challenges like droughts, floods, and fires. Ken Mouritzen from BLT WORLD emphasizes the role of agriculture and industry in safeguarding food products post-harvest. The use of inappropriate grain handling equipment can damage kernels, particularly large grains like corn, which are susceptible to physical harm and contamination by fungi and insects. Innovative solutions, such as AirScrape and TailScrape systems, help reduce abrasive wear on conveyors, preventing microplastics and rubber from entering food. Dust is another concern, especially in environments with prolonged exposure, where it can cause respiratory issues and, in some cases, create explosive mixtures. Proper conveyor skirting is essential to ensure worker safety and maintain food quality. Bulk conveyor systems often face challenges like dust, spills, misalignment, and abrasion, leading to material contamination and system wear. BLT
