Parnaby Cyclones delivers High-Performance C&D
Washing Solution for Neal Soil Suppliers Ltd, Cardiff
Stand N3
Trash
Parnaby Cyclones has successfully designed
and delivered a high-capacity construction and
demolition (C&D) washing solution for Neal Soil
Suppliers Ltd at their Rumney project site in
Cardiff, South Wales.
The installation features a 170–200 tonnes per hour (TPH)
C&D wash barrel plant, engineered to process mixed C&D
materials with a maximum feed size of <100mm. The project
highlights Parnaby Cyclones’ ability to deliver advanced
processing solutions within tight timeframes and with
minimal consultation time.
Following initial discussions and a site visit to one of
Parnaby’s high-capacity barrel washing plants operating on a
run-of-mine coal project in Merthyr Tydfil, Dauson
Environmental Group placed the order in Q3 2022. The new
plant was commissioned in August 2023, demonstrating a
swift progression from order to operation.
Parnaby Cyclones collaborated closely with a partner
equipment provider to complete the full installation, including
mechanical and electrical works. From the outset of
commissioning, the wash barrel line consistently achieved its
design throughput, producing visibly clean, high-quality
materials free from organic contamination.
At the heart of the system is the Parnaby 8/36 wash barrel,
which processes and separates inert materials into three
primary fractions: >60mm, <60mm x 4mm, and <4mm fines.
The <60mm coarse fraction is further treated in an existing
twin-shaft coarse material
washer to ensure effective
removal of clay
contamination, maximising
product quality.
The resulting product range
includes:
Infeed
- <2mm sand
- <4mm sand
- 4mm x 10mm pea gravel
- 10mm x 20mm gravel
- 20mm x 40mm gravel
- >40mm x 60mm washed
aggregates
Final grading is achieved
using Neal Soil Suppliers’
existing sand cyclones and
screening plant, fully
integrating the new system
with their established
processing infrastructure.
Washed product
The impact of the new
installation has been
immediate and significant. Neal Soil Suppliers reported
excellent product cleanliness and confirmed that the plant is
exceeding its original throughput design targets.
Commenting on the installation, Liam Neal noted an
additional operational benefit:
“The improved cleanliness of both aggregates and sand from
the Parnaby barrel wash has enabled higher throughput
across our existing log washer and sand cyclone circuits.”
This project not only demonstrates the performance and
reliability of Parnaby Cyclones’ wash barrel technology but
also highlights its ability to enhance downstream processing
efficiency.
Parnaby Cyclones would like to thank Neal Soil Suppliers Ltd
for their confidence and collaboration on this successful
project.
