RECYCLING MACHINERY Second IQR FH1800 line at Timberpak Ltd
WASTE wood reprocessor Timberpak Ltd has had a second IQR Flexhammer 1800 shredder commissioned at its Washington plant.
In this latest installation the apron feeder has been placed outside the building, with the FH1800 Mill inside. The unit is powered by a 400kW Motor with the discharge belts taking the 0-100mm material out over a loading wall. There is also a weigh scale fitted to the belt to give accurate throughputs.
This is the second line we have installed for Timberpak and it is the future of low cost wood shredding in the UK!”
The machine is also using IQR’s SCADA management system enabling total monitoring and data recording of all operations in real time.
Mark Hayton, director at Timberpak Ltd, said: “The installation went very smoothly and the plant is running so well that we need more wood! The data we get from the IQR SCADA management is incredible;
we have accurate T/per hour throughput with the electrical consumption and other important minute-by-minute data.”
Paul Caldwell, business developer at IQR said: “This is the second line we have installed for Timberpak and it is the future of low cost wood shredding in the UK!”

Lowmac expands Liebherr fleet with UK’s first A 914 material handler
LOWMAC waste and recycling has become the first UK operator to bring the new Liebherr A 914 material handler into service at its materials recycling facility in Ayr, Scotland.
The A 914 will join a fleet of dedicated material handlers from Liebherr and will be used to sort and load the large volumes of mixed waste and recyclable materials that are managed on the site.
The 19-tonne material handler carries a 9m boom and dipper combination and is powered by a D924-FPT Tier IV compliant 4-cylinder diesel engine designed for Liebherr which delivers 143hp at 1800rpm. The machine’s compact overhang minimises the risk of damage to either the counterweight or objects around the machine.
The purpose made chassis carries a pair of stabiliser legs to the rear with
a heavy-duty blade to the front. A set of 8 solid tyres with intermediate rings and a comprehensive package of sturdy galvanised steps complete the chassis specification.
Fitted with a Liebherr SG20B sorting grab with perforated shells and a nominal capacity of 0.4m3
, the Lowmac machine
is ideal for the pick and sort operations it undertakes on a daily basis in the yard.
Commenting on the new machine, Kenny Smith, Managing Director of Lowmac’s said: “We have always found our Liebherr machines offer far better fuel consumption than competitors’ equivalent models and the A 914 is no exception. Its considered design and build quality was also an important factor as it enables us to provide a safe and pleasant working environment for our operatives in what are often challenging conditions.”
