Quarrying
Adding to this, CDE incorporated an EvoWash sand washing
system. A compact and modular technology, the EvoWash
separates the smaller sand and gravel fractions through an
integrated high-frequency dewatering screen, sump and
hydrocyclones which provide unrivalled control of silt cut
points and eliminates the loss of quality fines with significant
commercial value.
CDE also installed its OptiMax technology which constantly
reads live material data in the washing process to monitor the
plant’s performance so that any necessary enhancements can
be made.
Minimised footprint delivering maximum
performance
The solution enables Brett Aggregates to produce two sand
products, a 0-2mm, 0-4mm, and two aggregate products, 4-
10mm and 10-20mm, which will be used for concrete
production.
Thanks to investment with CDE, Brett Aggregates has
capitalised on an opportunity to build a successful wharf
processing site in Portsmouth which has opened many
opportunities within the area and increased business.
Ben Johnson added: “It’s been great working with CDE on this
project. The maintenance of the plant is straightforward and
the aftercare support has been good. The processing,
maintenance and running of the plant have been consistent
since commissioning in early 2024. The team at CDE have been
really engaged with us from the start of the process, updating
us on the designs, deliveries and installation milestones, right
through to today to ensure the plant is still running as
efficiently as possible.”
William Melanophy says that the plant is
exceeding expectations.
“Both our teams were determined to find a solution that
met and exceeded operational requirements. It was
exciting to support Brett Aggregates at their new site in
Portsmouth. We look forward to continuing our
relationship with Brett Aggregates and seeing the
progress of this plant in the months and years ahead.”
