Yew Waste choose Blue Southern for new wood recycling system
WOOD Yew Waste are located in the South West of the UK, and currently recycle over 50,000 tonnes of the area’s wood waste. The business has grown dramatically from a standing start in 1999, now employing 20 full-time members of staff .
The company has two sites, one in Plymouth which bulks the wood ready for collection via one of a fl eet of fi ve walking fl oors.
This material is then delivered to a purpose-built wood recycling facility in Exeter. The grades of wood accepted on the site are A/B, which are processed to supply woodchip for the panel board industry.
The other grade of wood - the mixed grade - goes to the biomass market both in the UK and Europe. This side of the business has changed over the last fi ve years, with the quality of ‘end product’ now having a great deal of focus and eff ort put into it.
Achieve specifi cation needed
Wood Yew Waste looked at several diff erent systems to achieve the specifi cation needed for these rapidly growing markets, and the high standards set by end users in the UK and Europe.
Due to a change in the fi nal material specifi cation required by customers, the business needed to produce a smaller, better regulated, and uniformed fi nal product, which was also clean from any foreign material. This meant they had to re-evaluate their entire process.
Wood Yew Waste turned to Blue Machinery Southern, a key supplier to the business since 2007, and devised the following solution:
• Trommel fi tted with a 90mm Star Screen above the hopper, which removes the +90mm oversize material for
Mobile Trommel. re-feeding into the DW3060 Shredder.
• The -90mm material is fed into a 10mm Drum which removes -10mm material.
• The +10mm and -90mm product is then fed onto a Static
• Doppstadt DW3060 F Type Slow Speed Shredder fitted with an M Series Shaft feeding a Doppstadt SM620
• The clean product is fed under a Ferrous Drum Roller Magnet, to extract any ferrous material.
then to stockpile.
Commenting on the purchase, Wood Yew Waste owner Clem Spencer said: “The most impressive part about the supply of the Doppstadt equipment is the output and how it handles the oversize very impressively, along with the fuel effi ciency and build strength.”
The machine is currently processing over 200 tonnes of wood waste per day, which is distributed to UK and European markets.
