Zero Waste To Landfill - How We Do It

Our Waste Zero To Landfill Waste Treatment Facility at Mangham 80 is a purpose-built £4m Waste Recycling Facility with a 2.5 acre footprint located on Mangham Road, Parkgate, Rotherham, South Yorkshire. This waste management plant houses state-of-the-art, leading edge recycling plant and equipment and processes to ensure that all your incoming waste is dealt with as effectively as possible, to the highest health and safety standards possible, to current legislative requirements, and with the minimum of impact to the surrounding environment as possible.

At this facility we can process all types of business and domestic mixed wastes - including:

• General Mixed Waste
• Glass Bottles/Glass Waste
• Plastic Bottles/Plastic Waste (inc. rigid plastics)
• Cardboard & Paper
• Rubble & Hardcore
• All Electrical Goods, under the WEEE Regulations
• Ferrous Scrap Metals
• Waste Wood
• Non-Ferrous Scrap Metals
• Scrap Commercial, Industrial & Domestic Cables
• All Hazardous Waste - Liquid/Solid
• Confidential & Special Waste

The Ron Hull Group of companies has a vast fleet of waste collection vehicles and commercial/industrial waste containers, ensuring that we can respond quickly and efficiently to ALL your waste management needs.

The Process

Waste Pre-Treatment

• All heavy/large wastes are mechanically sorted by the use of a material handler with a Rotations Grab attachment
• 40m³ container bins are provided to store/segregate any recyclable products - metals, wood, card and paper etc.
• Loading shovel will tip collected products into containers
• Smaller and lighter material will be hand picked off the floor ready for the shovel to load
• Residue wastes are then moved over to the primary shredding bay for further processing

Primary Shredding

• Using a material handler with a Waste Grab attachment, waste is loaded into the primary shredder. This process pre-sizes material into an average size of no greater than 300mm pieces
• The residue pre-sized waste now starts its way through the MRF via an overband magnet

Rotary Screen

A rotating drum containing apertures of 30mm screen out small inert fines. Oversized material is then conveyed away into the air separation unit

Air separator Unit & Eddy Current Magnet

• Waste entering this unit is blown across a rotating drum causing the light fraction to blow over and fall onto a light line conveyor. The heavier fractions fall before the drum onto a separate heavy line conveyor. Both are conveyed on to the next process -
• ....the Eddy Current Magnet - where heavy fraction travels across the magnet and collects the non-ferrous metals

Picking Station

Both conveyor belts now enter this unit. Hand pickers remove any further material that is not required in the RDF. All wood, hard plastics, metals, plastic banding, organic substances etc. are removed

RDF Shredder & Secondary Shredder

• Residue waste that has been picked for RDF now goes for processing
• After leaving the picking station it is stored in a loading bay, waiting to be loaded into the Hopper Feed, from which it is conveyed under a second magnet before entering ....
• .....the Secondary Shredder... where it is then gravity fed on to rotating knives which cut the material into small pieces. This then passes through screen mesh and magnetic separation again takes place, recovering any further metals

The end creation of a uniform RDF fuel ensures that all our recycling process are

ZERO TO LANDFILL

More information on what we do and how we do it...

We take all industrial, commercial and business waste - both bio-degradable and non-bio-degradable, and process this material for ultimate re-use as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)through our state-of-the-art waste management equipment and processes:

Accepting Incoming Waste

 

• All incoming commercial and domestic skip waste is weighed on our on-site weighbridge
  
• ...which is then tipped into a preliminary waste bay from where the recovery process then starts...

Pre-processing By Hand

 

The waste is firstly pre-processed by hand to remove all potentially valuable recyclable and non-combustible materials, which are then sent for further treatment and reduction to our sister operations.

RDF Shredder & Secondary Shredder

 

After leaving the picking station it is stored in a loading bay, waiting to be loaded in to the Hopper feed, from which it is conveyed under a second magnet before entering a Secondary Shredder... where it is then gravity fed on to rotating knives which cuts the material into even smaller pieces. This then passes through screen meshes and magnetic separation again takes place recovering any further metals and enabling....
