Eriez Europe supplies separators to Re-Gen Waste
Installation at Re-Gen Waste
Eriez Europe has supplied two separator units, in addition to OBM vibratory feeders and CP20/120 Overband Magnets to Re-Gen Waste, based in Northern Ireland.
A £2 million expansion was carried out as part of a £9 million wider investment, including the upgrade of Re-Gen’s mixed dry recycling and paper recycling lines. As part of the expansion Re-Gen required maximum ferrous and non-ferrous metal recovery from the two upgraded waste streams.
On both waste streams the ECS units are removing valuable Aluminium from material such as paper, plastic and film at throughputs up to 30TPH.
Re-Gen Waste’s Mechanical Engineer, Louth McMahon commented saying that recent changes in the market prompted Re-Gen to identify areas for improvement in its MDR and paper processing lines. She said: “Eriez Europe assessed our requirements and supplied two new ECS systems which are proving very effective in reducing our metal contamination and improving the quality of our recycled materials.”
Teignbridge district selects Middleton Baler
Teignbridge district council in South Devon has awarded a contract to recycling machinery specialists Middleton Engineering.

The decision was taken “to meet increased recycling volumes at its Newton Abbot waste transfer and bulking station”. The contract includes the supply and installation of a new Scapa HB60 HM2 channel baler and associated equipment.
Chris Braines, waste and cleansing manager at Teignbridge said: “With growing volumes of waste cardboard arriving at our transfer and bulking station, an automated baler to boost capacity and throughput was essential. Middleton Engineering has proposed the best solution for the council, both cost effective and future proof to provide the capacity we need over the next 20 years.”
The new baler will be installed in April and is currently being made in Middleton’s factory in Somerset. It will be used initially to process and bale growing waste cardboard volumes from domestic waste collections, producing compact mill-size bales ready for onward shipment to re-processors.
2-ram balers range introduced at Lyndex Recycling
A new range of 2-ram balers has been rolled out at Lyndex Recycling, in response to what it describes as “increasingly accurate separation and segregation of material recycling fractions”.
Lyndex’s new II ram LT820 1x55kW with rated throughput 5-6 tonnes
The Lyndex Ram II is a medium range baling solution developed to work with multiple waste streams including OCC, paper, PET and HDPE, steel cans and non-ferrous metals, through to mixed solid waste and RDF.
The five new machines are available with wide or narrow box construction to suit different bale formats and with a main ram press force ranging from 80 to 160 tonnes, to match different waste streams as well as volume, speed and throughput requirements.
Doug Lord, sales manager at Lyndex Recycling Systems commented: “We have developed the Lyndex Ram II family of machines to provide a truly powerful yet versatile baling solution that delivers the compressive force of the two ram design, but with features to deliver cycle times more akin to channel balers.”
Electric shredder now operational at Struber plant
An Untha XR mobil-e shredder is now operational at a Struber plant in Austria, which the company says is the first of its kind in the country.
The electric powered Struber XR mobile
The shredder runs purely on electricity, in contrast to the usual diesel-powered shredders.
Struber said the new shredder “proved its ability” in tests to handle a variety of input materials including industrial waste, scrap wood, green waste and root stump. The resulting fraction can be subjected to further thermal treatment as an alternative fuel.
The company’s managing director Johann Struber explained that the shredder’s mobility and flexibility impressed him.
He said: “In contrast to conventional diesel-powered shredders which, in addition to creating a high level of noise emission, result in disproportionately high pollutant emissions, the XR mobil-e shredder runs purely on electricity and is almost carbon neutral, as the electricity comes from 100% renewable energy sources.”
