A drive to increase production:
Recently the company have invested in more handling technology in the form of a Terex Ecotec TWH 236 Material Handler. This machine was brought in to underpin the drive to increase production following the investment in a Terex Ecotec TBG 630 Shredder which is perfect for KCM as it is the ultimate processing machine for medium to large scale biomass and waste green processors.

Terex Ecotec & Warwick Ward:
The Terex Ecotec TWH 236 Material Handler along with the other Terex waste processing machines at KCM have been supplied by Warwick Ward who are based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

In 2016, Warwick Ward was awarded the UK distributorship for the full Terex Ecotec range, which further strengthened their position within the waste sector which has established a very strong working relationship with many of the UK's largest waste recycling companies.

Terex Ecotec is an industry leader in designing and manufacturing of wood processing, biomass, and recycling equipment. Terex Ecotec offers a comprehensive range of products including, trommels, slow speed, medium and high-speed waste shredders, waste handlers, metal separators, tracked stackers and recycling screens with Spaleck technology. The range of innovative machines provides efficient production, low operational costs, and ease of maintenance for each customer.

Richard Dixon – Area Sales Manager Recycling – Warwick Ward, commented, “We had previously supplied two Terex TWH 228 Waste Handlers in the last 3-years and when KCM invested in a new Terex Ecotec TBG 630 medium-speed shredder to replace their V20 with a view to increasing production we also supplied a third material handler in the form of a TWH 236 which has been supplied with a 16-metre boom to fully use the capacity of this extra reach in their very busy operation. With their experience of their two previous machines the KCM operations team have fully appreciated the build quality and specification of these machines, so it made sense to invest in more Terex Ecotec technology.”

Terex Ecotec TWH 236 Waste Handler:
Cutting-edge engine technology combined with intelligent hydraulics make Terex Ecotec's TWH 236 Waste Handler one of the fastest and most sensitive machines in the market. With an operating weight of 35.5 tonnes, 16 metres of reach and an undercarriage width of three metres, all combine to make the TWH 236 a particularly stable machine with impressive machine statistics backed up by impressive machine performance.

Keith Hickling – Site Manager KCM, commented, “We operate a very busy site, and it is important that the machines we use are dependable. The Terex Ecotec Waste Handlers are first-class and work perfectly alongside our other material handlers. We all know that machines can break down however working with Warwick Ward over a long period of time gives us the faith in that downtime will be kept to a minimum. Additionally, they are always keeping us up to date with machine developments which our operators appreciate – it is a great working partnership.”
