Investment:

As an environmentally conscious family business, Allstone are continually investing for the future to help divert waste to landfill and provide a valuable service to the local community and support a Circular Economy.

Recently Allstone invested in a new state-of-the-art wash plant which has been supplied by Parnaby Cyclones of Chilton, near Ferryhill in County Durham.

Parnaby Cyclones provided a washing and separation solution for Allstone which had a number of challenging design constraints as well as a comprehensive specification.

Ian Parnaby – Project Manager, commented “Our sales and design team worked with Allstone to provide a bespoke proposal to achieve their requirements and to suit the site layout. Maintenance access was especially important for the Allstone team yet, on a very busy site, the available area for the system was very limited. Nevertheless, our team collaborated with them to overcome the challenging site layout while still providing the critical access requirements and output products.”

Equipment supply:

Parnaby supplied a twin shaft coarse material washer, with 3 stages of sand recovery and cleaning complete with a closed-circuit effluent treatment including a plate filter press. This system produces up to 5 cleaned products of which 3 are graded aggregates and up to 2 grades of sand products.

The coarse material washer was chosen rather than the standard logwasher as it provides more material-on-material attrition so reducing the generation of fines, with the additional benefit of that it provides a higher compatible material size if this is required in the future.

Ian, continued, “We always look to provide our clients with unique differentiators which provides much more flexibility with our systems. This allows Allstone to adapt to the current market and opens the equipment to accept a wider range of materials feed so that Allstone can extract value from more challenging sources. We can integrate density separation processes into the overall solution for coarse and fine materials allowing heavier contamination to be removed such as dense plastics, saturated organics, gypsum, and wood.

“For Allstone we integrated our density separation cyclone providing a consistent high-quality sand product. Additionally, the system can provide high levels of fines recovery to increase saleable products and reduce consumables in the effluent treatment circuit.”

Parnaby philosophy:

Parnaby Cyclones have pride in their customer service and support, as a family business it is their core principle to create a working partnership with their clients helping them achieve their goals and provide high quality, reliable products to safeguard their future. Their experienced team can provide excellent support for maintenance and provide competitive spares at a rapid response time if required.

 

The new state-of-the-art washing plant is now fully operational and producing three coarse aggregates – 4 x 10mm gravel, 10 x 20mm gravel and 20 x40mm type 2 and two sands, 0 x 4mm grit sand and 0 x 2mm cable sand and 3% [3tph] trommel fines, <20mm [skip fines].

 

Rowan Elliott – MD, Allstone Speedy Skips, commented, “Partnering with Parnaby Cyclones on this project was absolutely the right decision for the Allstone business.

“Through design, construction and commissioning all the way through to our current operational state, Parnaby has been with us on every step of the journey.

“Reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and driving the local circular economy is at the heart of our company vision, and the quality and performance of the Parnaby equipment is enabling us to deliver this with confidence.”
