CDE Recycling Plant is the Best Option for JPE Aggregates

JPE Aggregates have agreed the purchase of a new CDE construction and demolition waste recycling plant as the solution to their waste recovery operations at Elford Quarry in Staffordshire, United Kingdom.

Agreement was reached on the new washing plant following extensive trials and attendance by representatives of JPE Aggregates at two open days hosted by CDE at a site in Ireland recently.

According to JPE Aggregates the decision was based on securing a plant which would most effectively clean the recycled material, accommodate the capacity requirements for the washing plant and offer a low cost per tonne over the life of the plant.

The first of these open days was attended by Steven Birch and John Hale, managing director and technical director of JPE Aggregates who said it was an interest in the logwasher technology offered by CDE that spurred the visit.
Following on from this initial visit JPE Aggregates sent their operations manager, Dave Rogers to the next open day hosted by CDE to confirm the initial feeling that the CDE washing plant offered the best solution.

It was this follow up visit from Dave Rogers and the subsequent report he gave the JPE board that confirmed CDE Global as the best choice of supplier for the new recycling plant.

The new recycling plant for JPE Aggregates includes an M2500 E3 mobile washing plant, AggMax 150R attrition system, AquaCycle A400 thickener and a VSI crusher.

The M2500 E3 system includes feeding, screening, sand washing and stockpiling on a single chassis and comes without the lack of mobility, a problem previously associated with mobile washing plants.

The AggMax 150R system incorporates a RotoMax logwasher which is a twin shaft system with a length of 8 m dressed with 132 paddles constructed from high chrome cast iron to ensure maximum attrition of the material being processed.

The inclusion of the RotoMax, dewatering screen and a trash screen on one compact chassis ensures the efficient transition of material from one phase of processing to another while also minimizing installation time on site and reducing issues with spillage of both material and water. All of these lead to a safer, cleaner and more productive site.

Water recycling within the new recycling plant was crucial for JPE as they sought to both minimize use of natural resources and make maximum use of the space available on site to accommodate the new washing plant. The Aquacycle thickener offers recycling of 90% of the water used in the washing process and has been specified on many CDE installations in recent times.

JPE Aggregates is one of the leading construction, demolition and excavation waste recycling companies in the Midlands area of England and the new washing plant from CDE Global will allow them to further develop their product portfolio and customer base.

CDE are able to offer customers comfort in relation to the return on investment they can expect from a new washing plant thanks to the automated tool developed by the company five years ago. This allows customers to input information on operational costs, final product sell prices and the level of investment in a new plant to determine whether it represents a viable business opportunity.

The new construction and demolition waste recycling plant installed for JPE Aggregates is the first of the third generation of recycling plants from CDE Global. The two companies will be holding several open day events at the site over the coming months and full details of these will be available on the CDE Global web site.
