EMS, the Northern Irish supplier of waste recycling equipment, is reporting steady growth despite the turbulence in the overall economy at present. Harry McCourt, managing director of the company, which engineers bespoke waste sorting systems for the full range of waste streams, said:  "The current economic Climate has provided EMS with as many opportunities as challenges". 

Having recently recruited a new design team to further improve its product range the company has also developed new equipment to meet the demands of the ever-changing marketplace and can now offer a full 3D CAD design service to clients.

The company has also extended its network of dealers and engineering support staff to ensure its coverage of all areas of the UK for sales and service.

EMS has seen the dividends of its work with plants installed recently for three customers throughout the UK and Europe. At the O'Brien Group in Newcastle, a plant sorts 30,000 tons per year of commingled waste. The installation includes multiple sorting lines, trommel screen and magnetic separators. At Barr Environmental in Heathfield, Ayr, EMS has installed a plant to cope with 600 tons per week of MSW, construction, demolition and industrial waste. This plant was specially designed for the Heathfield facility and incorporates the input from the civic amenity collection on site. At Mersey Skips Recycling in Liverpool an EMS plant was installed earlier this year to process 500 tons per week of mixed C&D and C&I waste.

The company's most recent installation has been for Timmins Waste in Wolverhampton. The installation for this family run company includes an 823 trommel complete with a five-bay picking station, with both air and magnetic separation. The plant has been designed to suit this city centre site and has received the blessing of local council and planners. The EMS plant has also helped the company land some significant new business.

Further afield, EMS also recently installed its first plant in Portugal for a company handling 300 tons per week of co-mingled waste. The plant includes sunken chain conveyors, sorting station magnets and baler.
