Construction and demolition waste recycling is the separation and recycling of recoverable waste materials generated during the demolition and construction process.
Today, there is an ever increasing focus on recycling materials. The Recycling industry is growing and a range of equipment can be used to help at different stages in the recycling process.
Recycling of Demolition and Construction materials can be done on site using screening and crushing equipment. Breaking down materials for re-use is an increasingly popular business and more and more companies are either investing in or hiring the right equipment to do this. Screening out soil and other debris before crushing material to use as sub base means materials can be re-used rather than being sent off site for re-cycling or to landfill.
Recyclable materials include:
There is a wide range of recycling equipment on the market. Recycling applications include washing, screening and crushing amongst others. There are a range of attachments on the market including screening and crushing buckets. These can be used not only onsite but are also key tools used by waste and recycling companies, including waste transfer stations, who offer a screening and crushing service at their facility or use these tools to improve their recycling processes.
Other useful attachments used in this environment are magnets and sorting grabs to help move and sort materials into different locations for easier recycling.
Equipment typically used on site for the recycling process includes:
They screen material that other products won’t, and will work all year round. REMU screening buckets are ideal for a wide range of applications including topsoil cleaning, composting, backfilling and pipeline cover.
Perfect for the screening and selection of natural materials, both before and after the crushing phase, the MB-S Screening Buckets reduce crushing times by up to 60%, consequently allowing you to salvage materials suited to the type of job being carried out, and to manage them in the best way possible.
Perfect for on-site crushing of inert materials, the MB Crusher Bucket takes advantage of the hydraulic system of the excavators, skid loader, loader and backhoe loaders to which it is fitted.
They are the perfect grab for industrial demolitions and intensive sorting and recycling activities. They are often used on site to move and load/unload materials, or at waste recycling facilities to move waste.
Attached to the end of an excavator a Hydraulic Magnet is a complete all-in-one unit with integrated magnet generator. It is used for separating metals from other waste.
