• Since the end of 2017, the number of diesel particulate filters being recycled has increased; numbers are continuing to rise and will have a lasting impact on recycling companies in the future • Exhaust gas catalytic converter or diesel particulate filters – what is the difference? • Smelting operations face new challenges

And there are two good reasons to celebrate. The Hensel-Recycling Churfranken Triathlon is being held for the 10th time and, we at Hensel Recycling, as the title sponsor, are celebrating the 20th anniversary of our company.

On 1 December, Clemens Hensel handed a cheque for EUR 2,500 to Prof. Jörg Klepper, Senior Consultant at the Hospital for Paediatric and Adolescent Medicine, and Stefan Kittel, Treasurer on the board of the Children’s Hospital supporting association, and was able to see the effectiveness of the measures for himself.

The DPF substrate is significantly different from a regular spent auto catalyst (SAC). A regular SAC (diesel oxidation catalyst or gasoline three-way) is made of a cordierite ceramic monolith coated with precious metals. DPF´s are often made from silicon-carbide (SiC) brick and this ceramic substrate needs a totally different smelting environment.

The 9th Hensel Recycling Churfranken Triathlon started in perfect weather in Niedernberg am Honischbeach on Sunday, 16 July. The “sprint relay”, “individual sprint” and “individual Olympic distance” races were fully booked with more than 600 participants overall. A large crowd cheered the athletes on at the start of the course, at the edge of the routes, and at the finish line.
