Enterprise Skiphire has recently invested in an extremely innovative, custom made recycling plant to enhance the company’s waste
processing capacity in addition to improving the quality of the end-products generated.
Based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, Enterprise Skiphire provide a wide range
of skips suitable for all types of jobs – big or small. When looking to expand
their existing recycling system, consisting of a trommel and simple picking isle,
Enterprise Skiphire turned to equipment distributor Blue London and its sister
company BlueMAC manufacturing, and have reported excellent results since the
plant was first installed. The plant currently processes a mix of C&D and
municipal waste at around 50 tonne per day; meaning an initial rate of between
5 and 10 tonnes per hour but with considerable growth possible. As well as
contributing towards the company’s growth in waste recycling, the plant will
also play a huge role in minimizing tip-to-landfill. And with its built in
future proof versatility, it is more than capable of handling other waste
materials should the need arise.
In terms of the plant’s current process, the initial waste
material is loaded into a hopper and an overband magnet is then used to extract
any ferrous material. The remaining material is then fed into a 25-70 trommel,
sized 2.5m wide and 7m long, which extracts 2 grades of fines – 10mm and 25mm. The
material then moves onto an incline conveyor, whereby a blower separates light
fraction, before it enters the manual picking station. Within the picking
station there are 5 double sided bays, all fitted with relief bins, whereby
wood, cardboard, mud, non-ferrous material and general waste is separated. The
remaining product, hardcore, is then transported to the end of the plant by
conveyor.
Commenting on the company’s new purchase, Operations Manager Philip Burch, said
“this is our first purchase with Blue Machinery London and their experience,
expertise and excellent customer service throughout the process has been second
to none. From the initial design manufacturing stage, right through to the
installation of the plant, Blue have provided invaluable communication and have
played an active role throughout”. He also commented on the plant’s ability to
help expand Enterprise’s recycling capabilities, stating “in just a matter of
days the plant has enhanced our throughput efficiency and the potential for
growth is huge.”
