Smicon

Company Description

Smicon designs and manufactures machines and integrated systems for processing organic residual streams, including those generated in the potato, fruit, and vegetable industries. Its solutions are used to handle packaged and unpackaged food waste, enabling efficient treatment of by-products such as potato peels, rejects, and off-spec produce.

The company’s equipment portfolio includes shredders, grinders, in-line grinders, and screw presses, which are used to reduce material size, create pumpable organic flows, and separate liquids from solids. These systems help reduce waste volume, lower transportation costs, and support by-product recycling, with processed outputs commonly utilized in animal feed and biogas production.

Smicon was founded in 1980 as A. Smits Constructies bv and is headquartered in Wanroij, North Brabant, Netherlands. Originally focused on agricultural construction, the company has since expanded into food processing and organic waste handling systems, serving the agri-food and potato processing industries.

Products Offered

Smicon - SMIMO Grinder The Smicon SMIMO Grinder is an industrial machine designed to pulverize organic materials into a homogeneous, pumpable pulp. It features an internal rotor that grinds the material, and a sieve ensures that only particles of the required size are discharged.

Smicon - SP300 Screw Press The Smicon SP300 Screw Press is an industrial machine designed for the controlled filtering, dewatering, and separation of various liquid waste and residue flows from industrial, organic, and agricultural products.

Smicon - SMIDE shredders Smicon's SMIDE shredders are industrial machines designed to process organic materials such as potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and other foodstuffs into smaller, more manageable pieces, typically around 10 mm in size. This size reduction enhances the pumpability and overall processability of organic products.
