Warwick Ward Scoops Landmark Deal with
Stobart Biomass Products
Terex Ecotec and Ecohog equipment will support the creation of high- spec woodchip for Stobart’s biomass burners...
Waste recycling equipment supplier Warwick Ward recently signed a landmark deal that sees its Terex Ecotec and Ecohog products supporting a new biomass production process for Stobart Biomass Products Ltd.
Stobart Biomass Products is the UK’s number one supplier of biomass fuel, with long-term contracts in place to supply 2 million tonnes of fuel to Energy Recovery Facilities, generating renewable energy equivalent to the annual domestic electricity needs of 2% of the UK population.
The company wanted to produce a high quality biomass wood chip with target specs, such as minimum fines and oversize. Warwick Ward demonstrated how Terex Ecotec’s TDS 820 Slow Speed Shredder, TDS V20 Medium Speed Shredder and Ecohog’s THM ECS-2000 Metal Separator worked together, achieving Stobart’s required specifications and producing a high consistent through-put, with a more uniformed product
achieved so that the biomass burners could get maximum efficiency out of
their woodchip.
Mark McGlinn, Territory Sales Manager, Terex Ecotec said, “With such a tight specification to meet, Stobart were attracted to the TDS
V20’s unique ability to produce a high quality biomass product with minimal fines and oversize, without compromising on through-put. Its
intelligent contaminant protection air- bag system also provides the confidence that no major damage will be caused should a foreign object slip
through the net. Coupling up with the versatile and highly efficient TDS 820
pre-shredder gives their operators familiarity, using the same simple, easy to navigate control system on
both machines.”

These features, together with health and safety benefits gained from ease of maintenance and serviceability across all three machines, has resulted in Warwick Ward’s solution taking Stobart forward in their biomass production. The mobile line has been set up across two sites, Port Clarence site (Middlesbrough) and Widnes site (Liverpool).
Aaron Whitrow, National Site Manager, Stobarts Biomass Products said, “Warwick Ward worked closely with us to create a mutually beneficial equipment and service level package that meets our specific needs. This included guaranteed through-put, a dedicated engineer, high level of internal training and on-site consignment stock. Producing high quality fuel that meets our customers’ specification is of the upmost importance to us, so we needed a solution that could achieve this whilst reducing running costs across the whole process. We’re delighted to identify significant savings using the Terex Ecotec and Ecohog set up, compared to our previous outgoings in wear parts and machine running costs per tonne.”
James Tunnicliffe, Recycling Sales Manager, Warwick Ward said, “Following the machine trials - attended by representatives from Warwick Ward, Terex Ecotec and Ecohog, we took members of the Stobarts Group to Northern Ireland for a factory tour of Ecohog and Terex Ecotec, which also
