RECYCLING & WASTE HANDLING
Big Screen Production for
GP Green Recycling is probably one of the largest producers of biomass from waste in Scotland and generates around 1,800 cubic metres of biomass every week from their state-of-the-art facilities in Blantyre. GP provides a greenwaste management system and recycling service to private contractors and municipal authorities, producing a range of high quality EU compliant biomass materials. GP has continually invested in cutting edge recycling plant and machinery, which it has sourced from Blue Machinery Scotland for many years and the latest additions to the GP production machines are Doppstadt SM trommel screeners, for which Blue is an appointed distributor. The ever-increasing scale of the GP operation has necessitated additional production capacity and, to achieve this, owner Jim Gilchrist once again called in Blue Machinery Scotland who recommended changing from a flatbed screener to a trommel drum-screen configuration for cost-effective and efficient screening of material to the various different sizings required. GP now uses an “array” of Doppstadt machines in their production line. A Fuchs MHL 320 materials

handler (also purchased from Blue) feeds the incoming waste stream into a slow-speed pre- shredder, which discharges into a Doppstadt AK-435 mobile shredder which then feeds the reduced size shredded material into the first of two new Doppstadt SM-620 trommels, which is equipped with two screen sizes (12mm at the front of the drum and 10mm at the end) to produce and stockpile 10mm compost material. This, in turn, feeds the oversize to the second SM-620 with an 80mm drum screen where 10mm-80mm is screened off for biomass, with any oversize being recirculated for further processing. GP Green Recycling reports a most satisfactory uplift in the tonnage produced through their system. Jim Gilchrist commented “We enjoy an excellent and mutually beneficial partnership with Blue Machinery Scotland and can count ourselves as being very satisfied customers for many years. Their advice and expertise, coupled with the ready availability of the superb Doppstadt range, makes our choice of machines and supplier all the easier. We are delighted with the two new trommels which have transformed our operations both in terms of volume and end-product quality”.

The Doppstadt SM-620 trommel features the well-proven screening drum construction. Replaceable screens, a variety of ancillary equipment and a wide choice of mesh sizes allow this flexible machine to be easily adjusted and reconfigured for the wide variety of screening tasks and feed materials encountered in the GP Green Recycling operation. The trommel screen drum is 6m in length with a 2m diameter and a rotating speed of up to15rpm.
An efficient mechanical power transmission features direct chain wheel drive, with geared motors at the drum surface, and the variable speed provides optimum adjustment for regulation of the screening quality. State-of- the-art SPS control makes for easy operation, precise adjustment and access to the machine’s performance and operating data.

Balcan Engineering set to light up RWM 2013
The UK’s leading provider of lamp and bulb recycling solutions is set to exhibit at RWM 2013.
Balcan Engineering will be on stand 19S29-R28, demonstrating the latest developments to its market-leading range of bespoke recycling equipment, including the Balcan Lamp Crusher.
Minimising all types of commonly used lamps, including straight fluorescent, u-tube, HID and compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL), the unit can crush up to 1,000 lamps per hour. Featuring an active carbon filter, the crusher reduces dust to five microns and eliminates mercury vapour, ensuring that only clean air is released into the atmosphere. Fabricated from stainless steel, the unit can be integrated into a complete recycling line, or specified as a stand-alone unit. Visitors to the show, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham between 10th and 12th September, will also have the chance to talk to the Balcan team about its nationwide
