Investment delivers returns
Kent Soils and Composts Ltd have recouped a £75,000 investment in less than 12 months. The company say they have almost doubled the percentage of materials they are able to recycle by investing in a Redox Windshifter specified and supplied by Excel Plant UK Ltd.
Andrew Town, managing director, said: ‘The process we used previously for recycling had two major drawbacks. We employed four people to manually remove particles using a trommel picking station but they were not physically able to keep up with the flow of waste material, resulting in only 50% being rendered clean.
‘Since we purchased the Windshifter, 95% of the waste we handle is now effectively recycled since the material that we were not able to pick manually now travels through an air separator for processing.’
Leeds-based Mone Bros have also recouped their investment in a Neuenhauser Twister screening bucket, which they originally viewed at Hillhead 2005.
Mone Bros were looking for a method of processing backfill material accumulated over a 10-year period. The Twister bucket, which attaches to an excavator or a wheel loader, has allowed the company to process material, which previously had little value, into saleable products.
