Parry & Evans opts for Liebherr

The most recent purchase to arrive in Deeside is a 21 tonne Liebherr A920 wheeled materials handler, with 1.5m3 selector grab, for picking out and sorting materials. This joins two other materials handlers both equipped with five-tine grabs to undertake the bulk loading of the picking line and baling machines.
A pair of loading shovels are also employed to assist with the stockpiling and loading of trucks around the plant. Between them, the Liebherr machines will handle approximately 130,000 tonnes of material for recycling every year.
Parry & Evans has over two hundred paper and cardboard banks located at supermarket car parks, community halls, local authority and commercial premises and hospitals. The company collects and processes a number of grades of material from office waste through to newspaper, pamphlets and grade one white paper.
The decision to consolidate on suppliers also saw MAN selected as the company’s haulage fleet supplier.

The fourth generation, family business took delivery of the machine last year which is sited at its transfer station.

The business provides mini, midi, builder’s and factory skip hire, as well as site clearance and low loader, hiab, mini digger and 360-degree excavator hire.
The J-960 is a 30 tonnes compact crusher. It will be working at the company’s transfer station, processing incoming inert demolition waste and hardcore derived from the skips.
Repeat customer for Riverside
Flexographic printing company RR Flexo, has invested in new equipment from baler supplier, Riverside Waste Machinery.
RR Flexo has invested in a RWM 450 HD baler from Riverside Waste Machinery
The company has recently obtained a RWM 450 HD machine, to deal with the large volumes of polythene waste produced by the firm on a daily basis.
PR Flexo produces flexible packaging for a variety of uses, ranging from drinks cans and toilet rolls to magazines.
Due to the fast-paced nature of the business, and the amount of waste polythene handled, the firm’s 15-year old baler required a replacement to bring it up to speed with their current recycling requirements.
Managing director Andy Dodd explains: “We part-exchanged the old machine for a brand new model from Riverside. We’ve always had excellent service from the team for the duration of our relationship, and therefore would never have even considered going elsewhere. “
The company produces up to a tonne of polythene waste every day, and creates two bales – weighing 450kg each – in this time.
Doppstadt improves universal shredder
Doppstadt, the environmental technology company, has announced it now offers its DZ 750 Combi universal shredder with “even more powerful components”.

The combination shredder now has a new, efficient drive unit, and also a higher metal separation rate and an intelligent hydraulic control system.
Its new Volvo motors provide around 700 HP for pre-shredding and supplementary shredding tasks, the company said. And, it explains, the machine comes into its own when shredding heavily contaminated material.
The slow-running pre-shredding process efficiently breaks down the material so that the new main magnet can easily separate out any large iron parts, the company said. The fast-running supplementary shredding process then produces a marketable end product.
ZenRobotics delivers robots to Geneva sorting centre
ZenRobotics Ltd. and Sogetri, part of the Helvetia Environnement Group, have agreed on a delivery of robotic waste sorting systems to a state-of-the-art waste sorting facility that will be built on Sogetri’s existing site in Satigny, Switzerland.
The construction of the facility, which will process more than 70,000 tonnes industrial waste annually, will begin in June and it is expected to be operational in March 2019.
Sogetri, established in 1997 in Geneva, is the ones of the primary waste processors in Romandy. ZenRobotics’ robotic sorting systems will be a central part of the sorting facility that will run fully automated. However, Sogetri said that a dozen jobs will be created, for example in maintenance.
On the sorting line the robots will mainly take on tasks, such as sorting large pieces weighing up to 30 kilograms.
“We are happy that our robotic sorting technology can support our customer in realizing their vision of a future-proof process”, said Juha Mieskonen, head of sales for ZenRobotics.
