There's never been a better time to be in the recycling business.
What with the Aggregates Levy, the Landfill Tax, and the general
'greening' of national and European environmental policy, suppliers
of screeners, crushers and similar products have good reason to be
pleased. Business is bouyant.
This is likely to be reflected at this year's Site Clearance Zone, where a number of the sector's key players will be launching new kit.
Stand 709 will see the debut of two new BL-Pegson machines. It will be the first time the 1165 HR crusher and the 4242 SR Trakpactor have been on display at a British show.
The 1165, the latest in the firm's Premiertrak series, is a track-mounted jaw crusher, suitable for processing hard rock, stone, and also for use in recycling applications. It can handle up to 300t/hr. The machine features BL-Pegson's recently developed, hydraulically-adjustable M Series single toggle jaw with Hydraulic Release. The Hydraulic Release system is designed to alleviate problems associated with "instant stall" encountered when tramp metals enter the crushing process, particularly common in recycling of demolition and construction waste.
The new 4242 SR which is based on BL-Pegson's 428 Trakpactor shaft impact crusher. It comprises a complete crushing, screening and stockpiling unit built on one tracked chassis. The Cat-powered 4242 SR is suitable for primary or secondary applications in quarrying, demolition and recycling, and has capacity of up to 360t/hr.
At stand 739, Doppstadt (UK) will have its biggest showing yet of recycling machinery at SED. Of particular interest to smaller operators will be the new 152kW AK 230 hammermill shredder, designed to process green waste, pallets and clean wood waste. At 15t, the machine offers a high degree of mobility, and can process between 60m3 to 80m3/hr of greenwaste or 12t/hr to 15t/hr of wood waste.
At the other end of the scale, the company's DZ 750 is a two-in-one shredder designed to maximise throughput and handle higher levels of contamination in wood waste than a standard hammermill. The 455kW machine combines a slow speed single shaft shredding unit (which acts as a pre-crusher) with a high speed hammermill shredder, which processes the wood waste to the required specifications. Visitors can see it in action during the show.
Another shredding specialist, Kendall Machinery UK, will be at stand 737. The kit it will be showing includes the Beast Recycler range of high speed shredders and EuRec's low speed shredders. A 3680 Beast Recycler will be on demonstration at SED. This machine has the capacity to process stumps, pallets, green waste and construction waste at a rate of 30t/hr to 100t/hr into a finely ground chip or mulch on the first pass. Also on show will be the S20.00D EuRec, a slow speed shredder that can cope with a wide range of abrasive materials, while still having an output range of 10t/hr to 80t/hr.
At stand 723, composting specialist Harry West (Prees) will be exhibiting the new, compact bio-chopper from Seko. The 5m3 capacity SAM 4 bio-chopper is designed for use on green waste and tree cuttings, with the mulched material then used as compost. With a relatively low power requirement of just 30kW, the SAM 4 is fairly quiet in operation and, at 1.7m wide, is easily manoeuvrable. A 2m loading height makes hand loading an option. The machine uses twin augers, which combine flights and blades to cut large material down to small lengths. Outputs of chopped material can reach 4t/hr, and a full load takes less than three minutes to empty.
Metso Minerals (stand 705) will be using SED 2003 to reveal the new Nordberg ST 348, a mobile screen that can accommodate woven screen mesh, punch plates, heavy-duty grizzly or finger decks.
The ST 348 includes the Intelligent Controller IC300 system, which supervises and adjusts the unit automatically for optimum screening results, while another technological feature, the SmartScreen, controls the start-up and shutdown process and monitors all key functions. The ST 348 is offered on tracks, wheels, or in track and wheel configurations. Other options include shredders, vibrating grids, and off-plant stackers.
Metso will also be showing off the latest addition to its range of hydraulic hammers and attachments, the Rammer E 63 City. Slotting in alongside the existing E65 and E68 models, the E63 is designed for use with carriers in the 12t to 22t weight class. It has an impact energy of 2100J, and a blow frequency of 450bpm to 800bpm.
On stand 703, Powerscreen, now of course part of Terex, will be launching its Warrior 1400. The 1400 is a new high-capacity, heavy-duty machine which is capable of screening, three-way splitting and stockpiling a wide variety of materials, including face-blasted material, crushed stone, construction and demolition waste, coal, compost and topsoil. It is also capable of processing overlarge items, such as tree stumps, logs and boulders. Weighing in at 25t, the new Warrior 1400 has a set-up time of under 15 minutes, and an optimum output potential of 400t/hr.
Extec will be showing several new screeners and crushers at stand T699, including the C-10 tracked jaw crusher. This has similar features to the C-12, but is more suitable for the smaller quarry or demolition site where operating space is limited. Capable of crushing rock, concrete or asphalt either in quarries or on construction/demolition sites, the C-10 is also very mobile, being self-propelled on site and capable of travelling on road without the need for a low-loader.
Also on display will be Extec's latest Doublescreen - the S-5, which features a heavy-duty tipping grid activated by remote control. It can accept feed from a wheel loader or excavator. Its screening facility consists of two individual screening units; the first is used as a fines extractor while the second box operates as a grader, enabling the S-5 to produce grades of material to a high specification.
Another new screen will be on show at stand H707 where Viper International is exhibiting the Kompaq, a small, track-mounted screen, designed for easy manoeuvrability around congested sites. It can be fed by an excavator and has a capacity of over 100t/hr. Viper will also be showing its Mini Sizer, which can be fed by telehandlers, skid steers, excavators and backhoe loaders to screen material ranging from 5mm up to 200mm.
At stand 715, Erin Systems Ireland will be showing off the new Powercrusher 10/55, the latest in its range of impact and jaw crushers. In addition, Erin will be exhibiting its screening systems - the compact Fingerscreener 125T and the more heavy-duty 165T. It is also promising two brand new models which will be revealed at SED.
Finlay Hydrascreens (Omagh) also plans to exhibit some new kit, on stand H724. Its latest screener is the Finlay 883, designed for quarrying, construction and demolition waste, and capable of processing at a rate of up to 500t/hr. The 883's heavy-duty screenbox with huge clearance between decks allows for larger middle-grade products to be processed.
Two new mobile screens from US manufacturer The Screen Machine will be on stand 722 belonging to reconditioned recycling equipment specialist CGCS (Midlands). In addition, CGCS will be exhibiting a range of wood/green waste shredders, trommel screens and compost turning equipment.
At stand 702, Star Separation will be showing two products - a picking station and a trommel. Star's systems use electric power units, so with an absence of engine-driven hydraulics, they benefit from being relatively low maintenance.
Anross, which specialises in ancillary equipment, will show the new Montabert 125SX Breaker for the first time in the UK on stand 725. The 125SX comes with sound proofing as standard. Anross will also demonstrate two of its Segregator buckets. A Model 05 will be showing its screening capabilities on a Hanix H75B, while the Model 20 will be in action on a new Fiat Kobelco E215 Evolution excavator.
Baughan Barrel Screens, another ancillary specialist, will be at stand 741. It recently acquired Hawkfawk and will display a number of its products including a grapple, a stump splitter and a pulveriser. In addition, Baughan will be showing its range of barrel screens.
The firm travelling furthest to this year's Site Clearance Zone is undoubtedly Officine Meccaniche di Ponzano, which hails from Treviso in northern Italy. It will be at stand 704, exhibiting its range of impactors and tracked jaw crushers. n
