C&D/C&I
40
The Challenge
Thorntons needed a next-gen facility to handle increasing volumes of co-mingled C&D/C&I while staying ahead of tightening environmental regulations and rising landfill costs.
Key pressures:
· Growing waste volumes with inconsistent material composition
· Need to maximise recovery rates and reduce residuals waste
· Increasing demand for high-purity outputs
· Pressure to automate processes and reduce manual handling
· Requirement for a fast-track build with minimal disruption
The Solution
Core System Highlights:
· Single infeed system (40 tph) for streamlined operations
· Primary shredding
· Double Deck screening for splitting the material to 0-10mm, 10-60mm and +60mm
· Multi-stage magnetic separation to maximise ferrous recovery
· Double drum and single drum separation for precise material classification
· Windshifting technology to isolate light fractions
· Optical sorting systems to refine wood, non-ferrous, and residual streams
· Integrated quality control stations ensuring premium output
The Outcome
High Recovery Performance/Premium Product Delivered
Turmec delivered project within budget.
Reduced Landfill Dependency
Significant reduction in residual waste through better segregation and recovery.
Future-Ready Facility
Scalable design positions Thorntons to handle evolving waste streams and stricter regulations.
