H. Sivyer (Transport) Limited, who deal in waste management, waste removal and the production, haulage and delivery of recycled and primary aggregates and hydraulically bound materials, initially used a McCloskey compact screener.
But the company, which has depots in Greenwich, south London, Farnham and Oxford, now also runs a 36tonne S190 Triple deck screener; a 34tonne R155 vibrating screener; a 28tonne 621RE Trommel; and a TS3050 tracked stacker.
Used in conjunction with a jaw crusher, the R155 is either used to remove fines before material is fed into the crusher, or positioned under the crusher conveyor to produce a clean Type One (75-100mm) or similar product.
The S190 is used as a stand-alone machine, producing a 10, 20 and 40mm product from the recycled crushed material. The 621RE screens the fines from the entire site down to 7mm, and produces a cleaned material that can, among things, be used as high quality top soil.
George Frazer, recycling manager at H. Sivyer (Transport), said: “All of the McCloskey machines are built to a very high standard; they are very sturdy machines. But it's the little things that show the real design and manufacturing quality, such as a light in the engine compartment for out-of-hours maintenance work, or two filler spouts to the fuel tank, one on either side of the machine, so it can be easily filled if backed into a tight space.”
Almost all of the material to be recycled at the depots comes from utility companies at a rate of 10-12,000tonnes a week, leading to over 200 vehicle movements/day.
