Jaaroverzicht 2022 Smet Rental

Annual review 2022

By Newsletter

2022 has already flown by, a new year is upon us and that deserves a little looking back!

Last year, we invested in several new machines with an eye to the future and to continue to respond to the demand and needs of the current market.

A total of 16 new machines were added to our rental fleet this year.
Among others, the new ROCO Ryder 1000, the WIMA HDS-S en HDS-M density separators, a Hammel VB 950DK, the newest Tana Shark 440D(T) ) and, as icing on the cake, 4 new Pronar drum screens type MPB 20.55 are now also part of our product range.

Check out our current rental offerings here

In addition, with Smet Machinery we sold 14 second-hand machines this year and were active with both our rental and sales service in no less than 9 different countries, in the EU as well as abroad.

In addition to our already existing dealership with Precimeca,we didn’t pass up the opportunity to also become a dealer in the Benelux for Roco9 andWIMA Wilsdruffer Maschienen. With these 2 new dealerships, from now on we can also support you with the purchase of a new jaw crusher and/or density separator.

Our dedicated team of employees was joined last year by 6 new employees.

In short, with a satisfied feeling we’re looking back on the past year and for that we would like to thank our customers and our suppliers warmly!

New dealerships and substantial investments

By Newsletter

New dealerships and substantial investments

Family business Smet Rental saw the light of day in the early 2000s. By providing strong service, and brisk investment in their fleet – even in non-evident times! – the company has built a solid market position for itself.

Meanwhile, Smet Rental is enjoying international reputation. The company, with over 150 various machines in its fleet, ranks among the top European companies. Steven Teirlinck, operational manager: “This year only, we invested about 4 million euros in new machinery. Few examples are the HAMMEL VB 950DK, TANA Shark 440 DT eco, Roco RYDER 1000 and EVOQUIP COLT 600. Also, we secured three dealerships: Precimeca, Wima & Roco. Exclusive to the Benelux.”

Market leader for tire shredders

Smet Rental has already owned a Precimeca mobile tire shredder for about three years. But because the mobile shredder was actually never to be found in the Benelux countries, but rather “on the move” full time to France and Sweden, among others, the French company and Smet Rental decided to join forces through a dealership. In order to bring more machines into rotation.

Steven Teirlinck: “Precimeca is one of the European leaders in the area of tire shredders, with very high-quality granulate as final product. They don’t pull the tires apart, they cut them. There’ s a worldwide movement to recycle tires properly, not just use them for energy. We may even speak of a real rush on “black gold. This is mainly due to a new European legislation stating that only a certain percentage of tires can be used for energy purposes. With Precimeca, we are now positioning ourselves for this piece of the recycling business as well.”

Water based separating

Wima also concluded a dealership for the Benelux with Smet Rental. De Duitse onderneming is een fabrikant van waterafscheiders. Steven Teirlinck: “We noticed that a growing amount of customers are having trouble reaching the new COPRO inspection and/or VLAREMA standards. After all, with a wind shifter you can only separate plastic, debris, … up to a certain level. Water can be used much more adequately to separate components in some cases. The end result is better and we think more and more of our customers will use this. In order to better comply with increasingly stringent inspections and standards.”

Electric story in Europe

At Smet Rental, they are also noticing the switch to electrically powered machines. “We see that the demand for information for electric machines is slowly increasing. We currently have two electric drum screens active in Spain. We also have electric machines operating in France. Soon we will have a project running in Norway where about six machines may only run electric. We are already fully prepared, especially with our dealerships!” concludes Steven Teirlinck.

Smet Rental will be present at the Recycling Trade Fair in Gorinchem.
Booth number: F123.

15th TANA SHARK 440D(T) for Smet Rental!

By News

15th TANA SHARK 440D(T) for Smet Rental!

Our first Tana machine entered our rental fleet about 7 years ago. In meantime, we’ve already taken delivery of 18 machines. Last week we were able to welcome our 15the Tana Shark 440D(T). Just like previous machines this one was also delivered by Smart Equipment BV.

Multi-purpose shredder

Tires, mattresses, PMD, A & B wood, aluminium profiles and pallets. Practically any waste stream, the Tana Shark can handle it!

Unlike most single shaft shredders that feature fixed counter knives, which are only adjustable in distance, the possibilities with the Tana Shark shredders are less restricted. Long, short, welded or sharpened counter knives. The opportunities in one single machine are endless. Given several combinations with long and short counter knives, the machine can be adjusted to shred almost any product and our own quick-change system makes it twice as fast.

It’s possible to run the shredder whithout any grill or equippe the machine with a wide variety of grills from 35mm till 220mm. For all materials to being processed there’s a preset program wich determines the return frequency and speed of the rotor and discharge conveyors.

To monitor output and immediately determine if any adjustments have affected your return, the Tana Shark was equipped with a proprietary weighting system.

New design since 2021

Originally, the Tana Shark 440D(T) had 33 knives and 22 counter knives. TANA OY introduced their new design in 2021. One row of additional rotor knives was added in those latest shredders, which makes a total of 44 knives. With the addition of more area under the rotor, a film effort was made to maximize the machine’s output and performance.

Renting your machine and our expertise

It’s possible for us to conclude that the Tana Shark 440D(T) is a machine to keep in whitin the world of recycling as well as in our rental range.

Over the years, we’ve accumulated more knowledge about these shredders, which allows us to always provide the right configuration for your products. In this way, you’re not only renting a machine, but our accumulated knowledge as well.

Would you like to operate by using the Tana Shark 440D(T) or still not quite sure which shredder might suit your needs? Contact our team for more information!

New ROCO RYDER 1000 jaw crusher

By News

New jaw crusher for Smet Rental;
Available for rental from September, the ROCO RYDER 1000

In 2019, we were first introduced the ROCO brand. After a visit to the Irish machine factory of Stefaan Smet it did not take long to sign the first tender for the purchase of a new jaw crusher.

After 3 years of actively using theROCO R9R jaw crusher in the rental industry, now it was time to join forces with our Irish supplier. After some negotiations and a second factory visit, a cooperation was established to distribute the entire ROCO range in the Benelux with Smet Machinery. As brand-new dealer, it was therefore a no-brainer to expand our own rental fleet with the very latest jaw crusher,ROCO RYDER 1000.

The first in its segment, hybrid jaw crusher ROCO RYDER 1000

The ROCO RYDER 1000 is the first jaw crusher in its class that can both run on its own generator and be connected to the electricity grid. Just as we do, ROCO listens to their customers and the needs in today’s market. Keeping these aspects in mind, the new jaw crusher was built. For example, a larger 600mm space is provided under the crushing room to ensure large pieces of iron are less likely to jam.

The crusher is equipped with a 930mm x 600mm crushing room, pre-screening, fogging system, magnetic conveyor and discharge conveyor which can rotate 180°. This allows the machine to be placed almost everywhere.

You can use our EvoQuip Colt 600, Portafill 5000CT or Herbst Compac S52 as a secondary screening. These vibrating screens have the right performance to be able to manage the large output of the jaw crusher.

Specifications ROCO RYDER 1000:

'Up to Sweden we rent waste recycling solutions'

Recycling and reuse of materials is gaining increasing importance in companies and Smet Rental is noticing this as well. For recycling projects in the broadest sense of the word, the family business of Stefaan Smet and Hilde Gabriels offers no less than 150 different machines, from screens over conveyors to transfer cranes and crushers.

WHAT?

‘We rent mobile machines which our customers use in carrying out earthworks, all kinds of recycling activities and the shredding and treatment of industrial waste. Our drivers deliver the rented machines and provide the necessary explanations to get started with them. In addition, a technical team is available to assist with technical questions or problems. The duration of the rental varies greatly depending on the type of machine and the job; it ranges from a day to occasionally even a year or even longer. From the beginning, we decided to trust the operation of the rental machines to our customers. This way we avoid having to compete with them. Due to increasing demand in the second-hand market, we started Smet Machinery. With this, we respond to customers who want to take over a rented machine over time. In this way, for some brands, we also act as a distributor of their new machines.’

ORIGIN?

‘We started renting screening machines as an extension of the contracting business we had in the early 2000s. We noticed an interest in renting specific machinery for earthworks, for example. Because that often involves expensive installations of sometimes several hundred thousand euros, which customers usually only need for a short period of time. Over time, through customer demand and visits to trade shows, we noticed that as a rental company, there were even more applications possible. Machinery for recycling and waste treatment were then included in the range.’

AMBITIONS?

‘First and foremost, we want to unburden our customers even more, not only on a technical level but in everything involved in renting our machines. We also want to further expand the sale of both used and new machines through Smet Machinery, both at home and abroad. We also participate in Voka Open Companies Day in the beginning of October, to give the outside world a clearer picture of our activities.

MISSION?

‘We want to provide our customers with customized solutions, and for that we make every effort. This strategy immediately explains our beautiful growth over the years. With our wide range of offerings, we are a strong, steady partner with the ability to move quickly and flexibly. In our role, we enable our clients to respond to the increasing importance of reusing materials and the changing legislation to that effect.

UNIQUE?

‘First, we discuss exactly what our client needs and what result he wants to achieve. Based on that, we will see which machine will serve him best. Therefore, we work not only with a wide range of all kinds of machine types, but also, in addition, with different brands. This way we can always propose the best solution for any specific job. If it turns out that there is no ready-made solution, we will work together to find a solution.’

INTERNATIONAL?

‘Several years ago, we changed our previous name Smet Rental to Smet Rental. This is more consistent with the international focus we have. Because we also count customers in France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and Sweden. In fact, this makes us one of the largest European players in our niche. In consultation with Flanders Investment & Trade, we are exploring ways to further anchor ourselves abroad. But we want that to go hand in hand with a warm, family approach. We realize all too well that our nearly 40-member squad is still our greatest asset.’

Smet Rental expands! 🤩

By Newsletter

Dear customer,

We are pleased to tell you that both our machine park and our enthusiastic team of employees have become a little richer in recent weeks. Our last newly delivered machine, the HAMMEL VB 750 DK is a real powerhouse and we put it well deservedly in the spotlight. Below we introduce our new representative, who will be a point of contact for all your rental requests.

Steven, also known as Steve by his friends, acquaintances and colleagues, lives in Flemish Brabant and will take care of East and West Flanders, Flemish and Walloon Brabant, Antwerp and Brussels.

steve@smetrental.com | +32 470 10 25 79

Robust, powerful and versatile

The HAMMEL VB 750 DK is equipped with a powerful CAT C13 EPA Tier 4 Final engine with approximately 480 hp. The larger engine than that of its predecessor allows the machine to increase its power by more than 20%.

Due to the increased capacity of the machine, more material is discharged, the HAMMEL VB 750 DK was therefore equipped with a stronger upper magnet, to optimize the separation of ferrous metal. The larger track system not only makes the machine look more powerful, it also facilitates movement on rough and difficult terrain.

The shredder has even more advantages:

  • The generously sized radiator with 2 doors allows for better cleaning and prevents overheating, even in rooms with high outside temperatures.
  • The highly appreciated “easy to use” control: a mobile PLC control is installed as standard and has 3 pre-programmed and 1 freely configurable program.
    Error messages can be displayed in readable text.
  • The ejection height of the shredder is up to 4,800 mm, which allows for larger stocks.
  • The 66° inclination of the bunker provides an optimal filling position for feeding the material to be processed.

Reduce the risk of fire

By Smet tip

Smet tip

During the summer months, we naturally face more dusty conditions on the job site and during our works. When renting our machines, we ask that you frequently clear your machine of all dust in the hood. In this way you can also avoid overheating.

Please keep our machines clean and tidy, so that there are fewer risks. 😉

Safety as a priority! 👷‍♂️

By Newsletter

Not only you, but we too, place a high priority on safety.

Fully automatic fire suppression systems and more

To minimize the risk of fire from our machines, all our shredders and compators were already equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system on the engine.

Functioning of the system

 

  • The red detection line shown in the picture is under constant pressure and runs inside the hood along the critical areas.

 

  • When the radiant heat becomes too high the detection line will burst open. The valve of the fire extinguisher will open due to the pressure.

 

  • The extinguishing agent will be sprayed automatically through the extinguisher line through the strategically placed nozzles.

In addition, most of our machines have a central lubrication system to ensure proper lubrication of the bearings. In this way, the chance of our machines overheating and overheating is greatly reduced.

The safety of our staff is also extremely important to us. For example, our employees are required to wear and use personal protective equipment on the shop floor and a few weeks ago a training course was organized on the safe driving and use of forklifts, reachtrucks and the rolling bridge.

Screening your products using a vibrating screen?

De voordelen zijn talrijk!

A 2 or 3 fraction vibrating screen is easy to use and belongs to the classics among screens.
They can be widely used in a wide range of applications, for example:

  • Screening stones from soil/sand
  • Screening shredders waste
    Screening of incinerator ash
    Cleaning contaminated soil
    Removal of the finest fraction of biomass

    Screening your products with a vibrating sieve always results in accurate results.
    You obtain a very precise fraction size, even in the finest fractions.

A selection of our range of shaker sieves:

A screen with high efficiency?
The Keestrack K4 mobile vibrating screen consists of two large screen decks that are fully configured according to your needs and is also equipped with a feed bunker.

Like the Evoquip Colt 1000, the machine is mounted on a tracked chassis and can be easily moved on all terrains using a remote control.

The Evoquip Colt 1000 is a compact machine with a large screening box.
This 3-fraction screen is equipped with a feed bunker, where the constant material flow of your products to be screened achieves optimal screening results. The upper and lower deck can be equipped with various designs such as plates or nets.

Of course, when renting a recycling machine and therefore shaker screens, we will help you determine the adequate configuration. This way you can always obtain the best results.
