WASTE RECYCLING
Polymer Industries selects Middleton baling solution for new recycling arm
DEVON-BASED plastics re-processor and recycling company Polymer Industries established Recycling South West earlier this year to provide additional services to customers across the region. Now they have selected a baling and conveyor solution from Middleton Engineering.
Full fl exibility to bale a range of materials such as paper, cardboard and polythene, through to rigid plastics including drums, crates and bumpers - while at the same time achieving maximum bale weights for optimal container transportation - were key requirements for the solution, which is installed at the company’s expanding site at Wrangaton in South Devon.
Under the contract Middleton Engineering has designed, supplied and manufactured a compact solution incorporating a Middleton ME80 closed-end semi-automatic baler, fi tted with a bespoke slider-bed feed conveyor.
This includes an in-fl oor section to ease loading, with the addition of gravity driven roller tracking to convey completed bales out through an opening into a storage yard.
Jason Goozée, Polymer Industries’ MD explained: “Recycling South West extends the range of services we off er both existing and new customers, and is a natural fi t for Polymer Industries, which joined the TGM Recycling Group in 2016 and is one of the largest paper and cardboard merchants in the south of the UK.
As part of a larger group we also benefi t from direct relationships with processing mills, which in turn means we can off er the keenest rates to our customers for recycled paper and card.”
With the new baler operational, Recycling South West is already handling a signifi cant tonnage of materials from across the South
West region and beyond. As volumes increase more staff will be added with the intention of running the baling operation on an extended double shift for 15 hours a day.
The project and installation process followed a short lead time to build and ship the equipment and structural works for the in-fl oor section of the conveyor, and site preparation took a little over a week. Following this Middleton coordinated the delivery, craning and installation of the whole baler unit, and it was up and running within 72 hours.
