Sharp Skips expand their product offerings
with a new Tyrone International wash plant
With almost four decades’ worth of experience Sharps Skips operate a very successful business from their yard in Rainham, Essex. They operate throughout London, Essex and Kent providing a large range of waste services to help their customers achieve a zero-to- landfill goal.
George Sharp – Director of Sharp Skips – “We take recycling very seriously and ensure the waste is properly processed so items that don't have to go to landfill are re-used in alternative ways. We provide roll-on-off container hire, skip hire and grab loader hire, with same-day delivery and professional staff who always go above and beyond. We’ve built a reputation for reliability and quality customer service.
“We first started to consider adding a wash plant to our operation in 2022 to provide a solution for processing trommel fines from our skip waste processing facility. We identified that by washing the trommel fines we could extract more reusable materials and significantly reduce the volume of material going to landfill.”
Tyrone International:
Tyrone International [TI] offer game-changing Wash Plant Solutions designed to solve tomorrow’s challenges. Opening new worlds of opportunity for a more sustainable, efficient, and profitable future for their customers, partners and the wider construction, mining, waste & recycling industries.
Fintan McKeever – Director - TI, commented, “As a company we are focused on the circular economy and offer innovative bespoke washing solutions to recover reusable aggregates from different waste streams. Washing provides the opportunity to recover and segregate materials from difficult
waste streams that cannot be achieved by traditional dry processing systems. When Sharp Skips approached us with their requirements, we knew that we could offer a bespoke solution to maximise the recovery of aggregates and increase their product offering to the market.”
Case study:
After the initial contact and discussion TI conducted a detailed study of the site, and analysis of the proposed feed materials. Once all the factors were taken into consideration a detailed proposal was provided with layout drawings that minimised the impact on the current site operations.
Sharp Skips stipulated that they wanted the capability to wash up to 60tph so that they could meet current demand and have capacity for future growth.
As this was a very busy operational site there were many factors to consider including the stocking area for the feed and washed products, vehicle movements, operator access, and site drainage.
