Blue help Customers Increase Tonnage and Decrease Operating Costs, with State-Of-The-Art Recycling Plants
Since 1948, Patersons Skip Hire and Recycling have been providing their customers with a quality skip hire service. They have since gone on to expand their range of services to include the supply of recycled aggregates, demolition waste disposal and waste tipping facilities.
With Patersons’ continued growth, the amount of waste that was arriving on site in Dundee was constantly increasing. The system they were previously using to process this waste was becoming inefficient and they were being overtaken by the tonnage they were running through their plant.
Patersons Skip Hire approached Blue Scotland about the possibility of installing a new state-of-the-art, Multi-Million- pound plant to replace their outdated process. BlueMAC were brought in by Blue Scotland to design the plant, which would be processing construction and skip waste.
James Hurst, BlueMAC Technical Sales Manager, explains the process from start to finish. “The plant features a GK Grizzly finger screen at the infeed point, we split the material at 180mm to create two material streams. The oversize enters the pick station which is kept inline to eliminate potential bridging sites with long pieces. The plasterboard, cardboard, wood, plastic, and waste are removed, and the residual material gets treated with a BlueMAC overband magnet and Air Knife, creating a clean aggregate product. >
