Recycler reaps results In brief
A waste recycling firm is reaping the benefits of increased productivity with the purchase of a new Terex Finlay 883 reclaimer from Finlay Central. Cheshire-based WSR Recycling has been operating a licensed waste recycling facility from its Widnes site since 1990, processing inert demolition and green waste from commercial, industrial and domestic sources, as well as operating a mixed fleet of waste collection vehicles and plant machinery. The new Terex Finlay 883 reclaimer, which is track mounted and remote controlled for enhanced site mobility, is currently being used to process and screen green waste, including mechanical street sweepings, producing compost and soil improver suitable for use in landscaping.
Complete with a steel pan apron
feeder, the 883 reclaimer is fitted with 55mm heavy duty tines and a 20mm elongated mesh at the base of the screen box, sorting waste into plus 55mm, 20- 55mm and less than 20mm stockpiles.
The less than 20mm product is composted to make a high quality soil improver, while the 20-55mm fraction is reshredded before being put through the reclaimer again. The plus 55mm portion – only about 5% of the green waste – is sent to the recycling centre’s picking lines for sorting.
Neil Partington of Finlay Central, said: “This is the second Terex Finlay 883 Reclaimer that WSR Recycling have bought from us, purchased in part exchange for their older model. This newer machine has a number of improved features including a greater screen box amplitude for enhanced productivity, and a chassis extension to raise the discharge height for increased stockpiling.” Nick Prescott, director of WSR Recycling, said: “I’ve been working with Finlay Group for the past 12 years and I’m very pleased with the way the new plant is operating. “It is a versatile machine which we can also use to produce hardcore from demolition waste, as well processing soil and green waste.”
Recycling industry’s first S630 Bobcat Paul Riddel Skips, based in Horncastle in Lincolnshire, has purchased the UK recycling industry’s first Bobcat S630 skid-steer loader for use in the company’s metal recycling and waste disposal operations.
Supplied by AMS Bobcat, the Scunthorpe-based authorised Bobcat dealer for Lincolnshire and South and East Yorkshire, the new S630 radial lift path skid-steer loader is designed and built to offer the highest levels of performance, efficiency and operator comfort. At Paul Riddel Skips, the new S630 loader is used all day on the 2.2 acre site, sorting materials such as scrap metal, plastics, construction rubble and wood into piles, so that they can be loaded into dedicated containers by a fleet of excavators equipped with grabs and other attachments.
Paul Riddel, owner of Paul Riddel Skips, said: “We purchased our first Bobcat skid-steer loader from AMS three years ago and the machine gave us excellent service for this demanding work.”
