The UK’s leading producer of Secondary Aluminium ingots, Mil-ver Metal Company in Coventry, recently installed an Eldan SC2118 250Kw Super Chopper to improve the quality of scrap that is being fed into their furnace production.
They opted for the Eldan machine because it is strong and robust enough to shred both loose as well as baled aluminium scrap, and it also produces a size suitable for their smelting operation.
Scottish cable recycler R M Easdale has always been delighted with their Eldan equipment.
They recently took delivery of a new Eldan Heavy Granulator HG169 and Fine Granulator FG952 to go into their granulation line. The new additions will enable them to significantly increase their flexibility and capacity.
RadComm Radiation Detection Systems are becoming the norm for all scrap yards, not just in the UK but around the world.
MMH works closely with its partner RadComm Europe to supply our customers with these sophisticated systems, which are designed to detect all forms of radiation in scrap metals.
Having such a system in the yard, whether it’s a weighbridge or grapple model, allows our customers to give assurance that their processed material is clean before it is shipped on to steel mills or other destinations.
When West Sussex entrepreneur James Bryant wanted to start a business processing scrap cables, he came to MMH for help selecting the right equipment.
After reviewing the range of cable recycling machinery and learning that all the major cable recyclers worldwide favour Eldan's products, James decided to put together a plant using Eldan equipment.
MMH supplied an Eldan Rasper 800 to prepare the cables and a new Eldan FG952 Fine Granulator to granulate them. The granulated material is then separated on an Air Separation Table.

Successful tyre recycler Metalco has recently taken delivery of an Eldan Heavy Pre-Granulator model HPG165.
This robust machine, supplied by MMH, will give Metalco added flexibility as it can be used both as a rasper with serrated knives, as well as a granulator with straight knives. Switching from one mode to the other is simply a matter of changing the knife cassette. Powered by a strong 160kw electric motor and large fly wheel, this machine can process shredded tyres up to 4 ton/hr.
Metalco process truck and car tyres down to a clean 0.5 - 2 mm & 1 - 4mm rubber crumb, and supply material throughout the Mediterranean and North Africa. They also build sports grounds in their home market of Malta.
The only complete tyre recycler in the Mediterranean with a fully automated plant, Metalco also produce a full range of coloured rubber crumb for their customers.
MMH can supply recycling systems to suit all budgets, as shown by our recent installation at Templewood Collections.
Robbie Essam, the owner of the small Essex tyre collection firm, wanted to have his own moderate recycling plant in order to process passenger car tyres down to 20mm equestrian chip. An important consideration, though, was affordability.
After assessing Robbie's requirements, MMH supplied Templewood with a new Eldan Rasper 1200-3 series and a refurbished pre-shredder. This system, although designed for the smaller operator's budget, does not stint on performance; the liberated wire is removed using two strong magnetic separation systems to produce an ideal rubber chip. Moreover, a dust filter system ensures a clean and healthy environment.
Set up for processing a small amount of whole car tyres at a rate of one ton per hour, the plant produces approximately 700kg of equestrian material per hour.
Leading cable recycler Universal Recycling of Rotherham has recently taken delivery and installed a new Eldan Cable Granulation Plant.
The plant is capable of processing up to 6 tons/hr of different types of cables, obtaining clean separation and producing a very good end product.
Universal has been a long-time customer of Eldan equipment and is always impressed by the machinery's robustness and heavy duty build.

Leading recycler Alutrade has recently added an Eldan MPR200A machine to their new aluminium processing line.
Alutrade is one of the largest recyclers of aluminium extrusions in the UK and have been keen to use only the very best recycling machinery.
The Multi-Purpose Rasper is a proven machine with a wear resistant rotor, replaceable wear plates, serrated knives that can be reground multiple times, and a hydraulic opening for easy access to the rotor and screen.
The machine is available in 3 different sizes depending on capacity requirements, and is also designed to be suitable for processing tyres and cables.
We have just finished commissioning a new Eldan S1500 Shredder plant for leading non-ferrous metals recycler Universal Recycling, Rotherham.
This is a very exciting project for MMH as, although Eldan has over 500 of these machines operating successfully throughout the world, it is the first Eldan Ring Shredder in the UK..
The Ring shredder comes in two sizes: the S1000 / 250kw and the S1500 /400kw. The rotor has a number of impact rings mounted on 4 secondary shafts, the shredder is equipped with exchangeable wear plates, has a hydraulic opening for the upper part to provide instant access to the rotor and a hydraulic opening for the exchange of grids.
The shredders are intended for size reduction of light scrap. It will be used to process WEEE material, aluminium, small electric motors, and starters.
The CRT Hot Wire (or Hot Band) Separator is a thermal forced disassembling system for Cathode Ray Tubes.
Like any other product in the MRT portfolio, the CRT Hot Band Separator operates very safely, efficiently and in accordance with the strictest environmental regulations.
The Hot Band Technology improves the heat transfer on the tube to achieve accurate separation.
MRT provide two types of Hot Band Systems: automatic and manually operated.
The high accuracy of the cut which separates the Cathode Ray Tube into panel and funnel glass fractions means that it is possible to add more recycled glass into the glass melt for savings in both energy and raw materials.
The CRTs are stripped from the housing and electronics and placed in the implosion protection removal station.
At this point the vacuum is released, and stickers, electronic gun and implosion tape removed. In the separation station the CRT is centred by two clamping chucks, the screen-size is measured and the processing height is automatically set.
To make the separation of the CRT more accurate (and the heating time shorter) a scratch around the screen is made. Two parallel switched bands are applied on the scratched line and the heating process starts.
Heating time required will depend on the size of the CRT. The funnel glass and the shadow mask are removed, and the panel glass is placed in the cleaning station for removal of the powder.
MMH have provided Crossmore Transport in County Cork with a new plant to turn truck and car tyres into 20mm equestrian product.
