Combining General Kinematics,
Powerscreen and Kiverco equipment - all sourced
from Blue Machinery Scotland - Central Demolition
has added to its existing recycling plant and created
a tandem configuration of specialist recycling
machines to process large volumes of C&D waste
for the production of a wide range of saleable
reclaimed materials.
Central Demolition
is now confident that it is reclaiming between
90%-95% from the thousands of tonnes of raw waste
material at its Bonnybridge recycling station,
which are brought in from its own demolition and
site clearance contracts as well as materials received
from other sources throughout Scotland and North
East England.
Central Demolition is a
multi-disciplined organisation specialising in
demolition and dismantling, licensed asbestos removal,
earthmoving, site clearance, plant and tipper hire,
landfill and recycling. The company is a Member
of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors
(NFDC) and complies with all the requisite industry
standards and techniques. Formed in 1993, Central
Demolition has evolved to become a national leading
organisation in its specialist fields, with broad
expertise in all its activities. The company has
always placed great emphasis on investing in the
best possible plant and equipment for its various
operations and has enjoyed a long and beneficial
working relationship with Blue Machinery Scotland
when it comes to sourcing recycling plants.
Managing
Director Ross Craig says:
"We look on Blue Machinery Scotland as our one-stop-shop
for all our recycling needs and their range of distributorships
allows us to mix and match equipment to suit our
processes. Blue Machinery is an expert in their field
and we know we can rely on their skills right from
the planning stage through to installation and commissioning.
Additionally", he continues, "We find that
their after sales product support through Spares
UK is prompt and efficient, keeping any downtime
to an absolute minimum".
Central Demolition has installed
a number of additional recycling machines to further
enhance both primary and secondary reclamation
of recyclables from, predominantly, C& D waste. Truly eclectic, the new plant array
consists of a Grizzly Separator from General Kinematics,
a Conveyor and a
5-bay Picking Station system from Kiverco, all
of which lead to a General Kinematics De-stoner
and a Powerscreen 615 Trommel already owned by
Central and which carry out the final secondary
screening and stockpiling.
The compatibility of all these
differing marques has allowed Central Demolition
to configure the installation so that the processing
sequence is as effective and automated as possible,
with a potential for further add-on equipment should
the need arise.
Incoming raw waste is first
pre-sorted by the GK Grizzly
Separator which not only produces a bigger mid-size
of 180mm-, but also carries out this primary process
fully automatically. The resulting material is
then conveyed to the under-cover picking station
where operatives are able to carry out manual sorting
to the designated bins in a safe and productive
environment. From here, the final stages are through
the GK De-stoner and Powerscreen Trommel 615, which
are separating, screening and stockpiling as a
secondary process. The De-stoner works in conjunction
with the trommel to clean up the mid-size material
after the inert fines have been removed at 10mm.
The resulting clean 10mm-180mm is then combined
with the clean hardcore from the primary recycling
stage for crushing by a TEREX Pegson XR400 mobile
crusher (also recently purchased from Blue Machinery
Scotland) to produce top quality recycled aggregates.
From the large daily tonnages
of commingled waste that come into their Bonnybridge
recycling station, Central Demolition is able to
reclaim an increased range of clean saleable materials,
including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, recycled
aggregates in various specified sizings, composting,
soil improvement and landfill cover materials,
board, timber and paper. Volumes of non-recyclable
materials are minimised by the processes, with
all the environmental and cost-effective benefits
that tip-to-landfill reduction engenders.
