Material Recycling Facilities
By incorporating the advanced separation and shredding
technologies of the TDS-820SE, the BIFFA Milton Keynes plant
ensures that POPs waste is managed in full compliance with
these regulations. “When we’re processing bulky waste, we
can direct it one way, and when we switch to POPs waste, we
can divert it into a separate RORO skip. This setup allows us to
keep the two waste types completely separate, just as
required,” explains Andy Tap.
The system also includes a permanent over-band magnet for
the removal of ferrous metals and an eddy current separator
for the extraction of non-ferrous metals. The result is a
shredded product that is ready for further processing at a
waste-to-energy plant.
“The system has been superb—it removes ferrous and non-
ferrous metals and allows us to shred and divert bulky and
POPs waste into separate streams. The brief we gave to Terex
Recycling Systems at the outset has been fully delivered, and
we’re extremely pleased with the outcome.”
Michael McMenamin, Regional Sales Manager for Terex
Recycling Systems added, “We are proud to support BIFFA
with their ambitious efforts at Milton Keynes. The installation
of our TDS-820SE electric shredder, combined with advanced
separation technologies is a great example of how engineering
innovation and customer collaboration can drive real
environmental progress.”
