Viridor adopts “a next generation” shredding system

Provided by size reduction technology specialist Fercell Engineering Limited - WEIMA UK, leading recycling, renewable energy and waste management UK company Viridor has installed a new generation single shaft shredder – the WEIMA SPIDER HRS – at its Crayford Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) in Kent.

Renowned as one of the largest and most efficient in Europe, Viridor’s 300,000 tonne capacity Crayford MRF applies advanced technology to sort and recover commingled recyclable materials from local councils and businesses. These quality materials are then sold on as raw materials for the manufacturing of new products and packaging.

Dave Fitzgerald, Viridor general manager for Greater London, said: “We’re constantly looking to expand the range of materials that can be accepted at our recycling facilities to help our customers improve their environmental performance by recycling more. With the installation of the latest WEIMA Spider HRS shredder, we can offer our customers the inclusion of hard rigid plastics – including utility pipes, polypropylene crates and trays – within the commingled mix for processing as well as acceptance of single-stream hard rigid plastics.”

The new shredder enables Viridor to process heavy plastic materials by polymer type to a 25-50mm fraction, thus increasing potential revenues and strengthening its ability to market this material.

Fercell Engineering Limited - WEIMA UK, UK sole distributor of WEIMA shredders and briquetters, sees this installation as a fitting milestone in celebrating a fifteen-year association with WEIMA Maschinen GmbH.

“There are more than 900 current WEIMA applications in the UK”, commented Colin Irons, national sales manager. “We are pleased that Viridor has adopted the WEIMA Spider HRS for its new hard plastics shredding operation. The recycling market continues to be one of the most demanding and we have seen a definite change to the criteria considerations during the procurement process in new capital plant. Viridor’s adoption of this truly revolutionary machine will help the company lower operating overheads, reduce maintenance downtime cycles while delivering a multi-tasking capability across differing materials.”

In answer to changing industry demands, the single-shaft WEIMA Spider HRS shredder, designed and developed by German engineering giant Weima Maschinen GmbH and first shown at the recent Dusseldorf plastic industry “K Show”, introduces a unique and innovative modular construction offering greater flexibility and an extensive list of new inclusions and improvements.

Briquetting press produces rectangular briquettes with high value

Fercell Engineering Limited, sole distributors in the UK for WEIMA GmBH, introduces the BIGBertha 1500 briquetting press, producing a 150mm x 60mm briquette. The larger oblong briquette and newly developed claw technology enables wood, paper, plastic, metal or biomass to be processed into high-density rectangular briquettes. The rectangular briquette shape ensures optimum packing density during transport and storage. Additionally, the good combustion behaviour of the high-density briquettes opens up good marketing opportunities for the producer.

Attractive to the commercial briquette manufacturer seeking a high output volume machine, Weima are globally renowned as leaders in briquetter designed-in machine reliability and robustness, producing quality briquettes whether using materials such as wood, paper, cardboard or most non ferrous metals, in a continuous operation. If the material to be briquetted is fed automatically into the hopper, then no operating personnel are required, making the BIGBertha 1500 the ideal contributor to a 24 hours operation.

As operating profits are squeezed by increases in storage, transportation and the introduction of new government lead legislation the processors is eager to harness new methods to increase efficiencies. Currently to fastest growing market is wood briquetting to supply the domestic market.

Wood, straw, miscanthas and most organic biomass natural product when highly compacted as a briquettes with calorific values similar to that of coal. Burning briquettes completes the sustainability cycle on combustion, only releasing as much carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere as was originally absorbed by the growing tree during photosynthesis.

The regular oblong (150mm x 60mm) shape of the briquettes makes them easy to bag, stack and palletize - reducing lost space and minimising briquette degeneration during transport handling. A better delivered product to the end user market. We also offer the option of including your company logo embossed on the die so it is printed into all of your briquettes – a very effective marketing tool!

Weima briquetting presses reduce the volume of your waste (up to 90:01 ratio) to save on storage and haulage costs with the natural ligna in the organic material acting as the binder retaining the end resultant product “natural product status” - briquetting without an introduced binder.

Briquetting bulk waste, of which in certain conditions can self combust might be the more attractive storage option when embarking on a fire risk analysis.

The BIGBertha 1500 demonstrates its flexibility by not being restricted to processing wood or organic materials. In a recyclate processing environment production can be rapidly changed to no ferrous materials for instance; like aluminium foils, copper or aluminium swarfs. These materials create briquettes in a specially hardened form as such an operation is an excellent method to reduce volume. WEIMA size reduction technology reduces both transport and storage costs. The logistical costs and ease of handling a palletized briquetted product against a bulk bag of granulated or worse powder product is more acceptable.

The most characteristic feature of this machine is the press form in which the BIGBertha 1500 pressing operation takes place. The motion sequence of the cylinders and the form are monitored and controlled by means of a position sensor. This enables an exact positioning, during normal operation, making it impossible for the material to get stuck or jammed, reducing production down time and possible costly repair.

The material can be fed in a large storage hopper and supplied via an agitator and feeder worm screw system. The pressing operation takes place in the closed form, thus extremely high material densities can be achieved.

Our bespoke machine test facility offers prospective customers the unique opportunity to run their own material tests prior to commitment.

Recon Packaging Shreds IBCs

A WEIMA WLK15 shredder, ancillary conveyors and bagging plant provided by Aylesford - based Fercell Engineering Limited, distributors for Weima shredder and briquetter products in the UK, has greatly improved the main plastics waste stream recycling plant performance of Manchester based Recon Packaging Ltd.

Acknowledged as a major player Recon Packaging Limited supply refurbished industrial bulk containers (IBCs) to the UK market. Servicing the chemical, food, drinks and pharmaceutical industries. Established in 1990 the company has successfully offered a complete solution for used packaging, through cleaning, refurbishment, testing & recycling of end of life containers.

As part of its ongoing efforts to improve their operation, the company started looking for ways to better manage its waste stream facility. Part of the plastics facility includes dismantling and processing damaged IBCs. Having dismantled the steel protective cage it is then a matter of removing the damaged HDPE plastic container and manually cutting it into flat segments, then baled for further processing elsewhere.

After investigating various solutions, Recon Packaging Limited decided the best way forward involved a less labour intensive size reduction technique, which would reduce labour costs, increasing recyclate values and reduce transportation costs.

Visiting the test and training facility at Fercell Engineering Limited and completing successful material trials with the customers own sample materials, the design team were on hand to discuss the best materials handling configuration. A site survey and agreement to the plant design followed and scheduled to manufacturing for build. Test run in the factory, the completed plant was then dismantled for shipment to the Manchester site in readiness for the install team to rebuild, test, and commission.

“Environmental consideration has always been a major influence in our choice of equipment and design of operations to facilitate efficient use of energy. The Weima WLK15 shredder has been an excellent addition to our operations and we have been extremely pleased how smoothly the complete project has been managed with both teams involvement every step of the way”, commented Mr Cornforth, Managing Director, Recon Packaging Limited. Daily throughput rates have already exceeded our initial estimates and we look forward to working with Fercell Engineering Limited in our future expansion plans”.

Malcolm Fletcher , Managing Director, Fercell Engineering Limited – WEIMA UK commented, “There are more than 900 similar WEIMA applications in the UK”, “We are pleased the WEIMA WLK 15 90kW single shaft shredder, accompanying conveyors and ancillary equipment has already exceeded Recon Packaging Limited‘s throughput estimates. Our one-stop-shop business model and bespoke test and training facility are invaluable, providing prospective customers the opportunity to process their own materials in the UK before making a purchase commitment”.
