The machine has an ample working geometry thanks to the combination of the 5.7m boom and 2.9m dipper arm, allowing it to maintain a relatively static position for sorting and rehandling. The slightly larger EC220E was chosen primarily to load concrete, rubble and hardcore into a primary crusher and also to break larger oversized material with the aid of a hydraulic hammer and a hydraulic pulveriser. “It was the flow and operating pressure requirements of the pulverizer that dictated the choice of the EC220E,” continues Dominic. “The larger six-cylinder engine, together with the optional two pump flow on the machine compared to the EC200E, provides 330 litres of flow at 380 bar pressure which is sufficient to run the pulverizer, with plenty of reserve for operating the hammer.”
Both machines have been supplied to L&S Waste Management with an SMT GB Level 2 ENHANCE service agreement whereby a highly qualified SMT engineer will carry out all scheduled servicing. This is backed up by a Customer Service Guarantee that ensures SMT service the machines to the level of quality and time committed to. With its head office located in Fareham, L&S Waste Management operates two recycling and processing plants in Portsmouth and Southampton, as well as a new aggregate railhead depot in Southampton. The recycling and processing operations are underpinned by a large comprehensive transport fleet made up of skip lorries, grab lorries and tippers as well as volumetric lorries, concrete pumps and road sweepers. ■
“The two fourteen-tonne machines have proved to be very reliable and the support from SMT GB, when required, has been excellent, which has prompted us to opt for the larger machines for the Portsmouth facility.”
