In Belgium, Imog has chosen Case

In Belgium, Case supplies the wheel loaders to the Belgian company Imog, which specializes in waste management operations.

Imog is in charge of the waste management services to 11 municipalities in the province of West Flanders, in Belgium. In order to recover the renewal energy, the company operates 2 treatment facilities : Imog Moen for the waste composting and sorts bulky waste, wood waste and landfill, and Imog Harelbeke specializing in PMD waste (packaging made of plastic or metal and drink cartons) paper and cardboards.

With the facilities working continuously and in very harsh conditions, Imog requires the reliable machines provided by Case. In the past 2 years, the Belgian Company has purchased in addition in its fleet the 5 F-Series wheel loaders. The three 821F and two 1 021F both are at work in Imog’s two cycling facilities, loading trucks and handling a variety of materials such as paper, PMD, wood, compost and plastics and loading them in the production lines.

The unit F-Series wheel loaders are equipped with a variety of functions suitable for waste handling applications, from Hi-e HCR technology to the rear-mounted engine to the heavy-duty cooling cube. Another advantage is the safety of the unit when they are near flammable materials such as wood, as the exhaust’s maximum temperature of 500°C is 200°C lower than it would be with a DPF. This is particularly useful in facilities such as Imog’s, where the F-Series wheel loaders are handling flammable materials.

The F-Series wheel loaders were equipped according to the specific conditions of Imog’s facilities, and feature radar and reversing camera to reinforce safety in the sites, a pressurizing cabin to protect the operators and protection for the front windscreen for safety.
