Waste Processing Company Supplies Separation Technology
Waste Processing Solutions, the new company created by the Finlay Group to cater specifically for the recycling market, has supplied a specialist material recovery facility to Sackers Recycling.
The Carmac Light Separating Unit (LSU) C1200 is already increasing Sacker's recovery of light material at its Ipswich-based plant by 20 per cent.
With a patent pending, the Carmac LSU C1200 waste classifier is an innovative, high quality lights separating system. Typical applications include the separation of wood and aggregates, as well as paper and plastics.
Easily integrated with existing plant or Carmac's range of units, the system has various output options to a container skip or conveyor system.
Nigel Slinn, commercial director of Sackers, which is based in Gt Blakenham near Ipswich and services the Suffolk area, said: "We are predominantly a scrap metal processor, but five years ago moved into waste recycling and have seen year-on-year growth in the business.
"We currently divert up to 80 per cent of the waste we handle away from landfill.
"The new recovery facility from WPS is helping us to achieve that figure by increasing our capacity by 20 per cent, so it has been a valuable addition to our operations.
"Before making a choice, we looked at various material recovery facilities. The C1200 appealed because it deals with all waste streams, heavy and light, in one standard operation. The other machinery we looked at was not able to do that. The after sales support from WPS also appealed."
This is the first deal between WPS and Sackers.
Last year, WPS - part of the Stafford-based Finlay Group of companies - secured a sole distribution agreement with Carmac Waste Handling Systems spanning England and Wales.
WPS cited the fast growing demand for efficient, cost effective waste recycling solutions as the reason it moved into the market.
David Statham, a director of WPS, said: "Carmac equipment is based on experience gained over 10 years in the recycling industry and we are able to provide the time-proven machinery with an extensive after sales service and support package."
The range of machinery designed by Northern Ireland-based Carmac handles a range of materials including construction, demolition, commercial, industrial and municipal waste.
