UK Cable Recycler IMR will be able to increase their throughput now they have a factory-refurbished Eldan Fine Granulator FG952.
After careful study of the machinery market they chose a granulator that is proven technology and used by many cable processors world wide.
Using a fine granulator they will be able to process a mixed range of cables including very fine wire.
This modern Eldan plant is located in the heart of the country. The Eldan machinery can process truck and car tyres, in this project we are processing car tyres with very little handling.
The tyres are deposited into a tyre feeder which has a hopper, they are then fed into the Eldan Super Chopper, SC1412T where they are shredded. The shred is then loaded in to the Tumble back feeder which feeds the Eldan Multi-Purpose Rasper, MPR 160T that will produce 20mm tyre chips. The MPR will also liberate the steel so that it is completely removed using magnet separation. The material is screened off and by using pneumatic transport and a dust filter system, they are able to produce a premium chip for the equestrian market.

This Eldan plant is going in to Sims Tyre Recycling in Glasgow which incorporates a new tumble back feeder system going into the Eldan Heavy Rasper HR162T.
The plant will be set up to process shredded tyres (truck & car) up to an input capacity of 3 ton/hr, the steel will be liberated and completely removed by magnetic separation. The chip material will be screened off through a classifier to produce two sizes : a clean equestrian product, and a fine powder fraction.
Agents and distributors for Eldan met up this week at the factory in Denmark for a very enjoyable Agents Seminar. We thought it always rained a lot in the U.K. but it rained heavily everyday in Denmark!!
It brought us together with our colleagues from around the world to discuss our different territories, gain new knowledge from Eldan on the different types of equipment being manufactured and developed to suit new legislation. As a result we have a better knowledge and are better informed to guide our customers make the right choice in buying an Eldan plant!
This machine will act as a key part of the process to produce carbon black from waste tyres. CBp carbon industries has just set up its first pre-commercial production plant in Cyprus, and it will be the world's largest state-of-the art tyre pyrolysis plant.
MMH is very pleased to be involved in this exciting project whereby the carbon black will go into producing new tyres, with the Rasper 1207 being used to liberate the wire from shredded tyres.
Templewood collections of Essex have now had their small tyre recycling facility in operation for 12 months.
This small plant is processing whole car tyres through a pre-shredder and then through an Eldan 1200-3 Rasper to liberate the wire to produce a clean equestrian chip.
The owner Robbie Essam hasn't looked back, confirming that he produces such a good product sales are increasing all the time and orders are coming in daily.
The plant has been set up to be run using just one operator, keeping it neat, efficient and economical. Robbie manages his business very well and we look forward to continuing our co-operation together.
Traditionally tyre recycling solutions have focused entirely on the purity of the rubber fraction, with Eldan equipment delivering 99.9% clean rubber as standard. Now, however, more attention is being paid to the steel fraction resulting from the tyre recycling process and how best to obtain clean metal from the tyre wire.
In response, Eldan's Research and Development have developed three different standard solutions for cleaning the steel fraction. These are:
| 1. Screening system with an output of approximately 95-97% clean steel wire. |  |
| 2. Multi purpose rasper system with an output of approximately 97-98% clean steel wire. |  |
| 3. Multi purpose rasper and screening system - a deluxe solution with an output of approximately 98-99% clean steel wire. |  |
The plants can be tailored to individual customer requirements and are already operating successfully in a number of sites. For more information, contact MMH with your requirements.
In the coming weeks this MMH-supplied Eldan Tyre Recycling Plant will be operating in Glasgow.
The main purpose of the plant is to produce high grade equestrian material from car tyres, using the Eldan Heavy Rasper HR162T machine. This machine is the work horse of any tyre recycling plant as it liberates the tyre wire so it can be removed freely by magnetic separation. It is capable of processing whole car tyres, shredded truck/super singles and car tyres. It is also robust and heavy duty, incorporating a screen system that enables you to change the size of product.
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.
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.
The interest in Eldan Rubber Powder Systems has increased dramatically in 2008 and Eldan Recycling has already signed contracts and commissioned plants in Spain, South Africa and Germany.
The manufacturer is constantly developing optional modules like the Car Tyre Feeder, Bagging Systems and Rubber Quality Upgrading Systems. The Eldan Cracker Mill Systems for powder production have proved popular, with two plants already installed in Spain and Germany, and in the near future Eldan will launch the next generation of Steel Wire Cleaning Systems as well as a new range of Textile Cleaning Systems.
With a proud history servicing the recycling industry since 1956, Eldan recycling A/S has grown beyond mere manufacturer to become a leading provider of tailor-made solutions to the industry.

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.
Enviro-Skips, a Lancashire Waste Management Company owned by Frank Owen has been using Eldan equipment for recycling tyres for the last 5 years.
From the beginning when he started looking at equipment to purchase he knew he was buying the best & most robost equipment money could buy. After many successful years producing good quality rubber chip, they have now added a 2nd line to his plant that includes our tumble back feeder to feed a new Multi-purpose Rasper MPR160T.
It operates using a pneumatic air transport system and a dust filter plant so the plant is efficiently run and a clean working environment.
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.
MMH have provided Crossmore Transport in County Cork with a new plant to turn truck and car tyres into 20mm equestrian product.
After studying the market to discover all the major players in tyre recycling are using Eldan Equipment, John O'Keefe (owner) decided to purchase a plant capable of processing super singles, truck, and car tyres.
The plant, supplied by MMH Recycling, consists of the main machines SC1412T Super Chopper and the Tyre Rasper 160 - see the photographs to the left.
Designed for processing whole car tyres or shredded truck tyres, the Tyre Rasper liberates as much steel in one pass as possible.
Part of Eldan's tradition of robust long-lasting machinery, it is equipped with a wear-resistant hardened steel rotor and rotor housing with replaceable wear plates.
The Eldan TR Series is built with 2 x electrical motors to give up to 20% increased capacity, and is belt-driven on both sides for easy adjustment and quiet running. It has the usual hydraulic opening of the rotor housing for easy access to the rotor and knives, and also of the swinging cradle for quick change of screens.
The Tyre Rasper is supplied in 3 different size specifications depending on your capacity requirements: 132Kw, 2 x 90Kw, 2 x 110Kw.
The TR160 is being used at Bristol Tyre Shredding. To find out more about our Tyre Recycling solutions, contact us directly.
We have just installed one of our latest Eldan Tyre Recycling Plants to Bristol Tyre Shredding Ltd, in Avonmouth.
In cooperation with Western Tyres, BTS process scrap passenger car tyres down to a clean equestrian chip. The plant is supplied with the very latest Eldan technology, which includes the new TR160 Tyre Rasper.
Capable of processing truck and super singles, this modular integrated plant gives BTS the potential to expand further into the granulation market.
Tyre recycling capacity in the UK and Ireland is set to increase as MMH Recycling Systems Ltd are installing four further tyre recycling plants. When fully operational, these recycling plants will help process some of the 30-40 million scrap tyres produced each year.
In partnership with Eldan Recycling A/S Denmark, MMH offer a simple, reliable and cost effective method of shredding tyres and separating the resulting rubber, steel and fibres. The company provides a complete service to its customers, which can include designing, building and commissioning everything from a single machine to a complete, high automated tyre recycling plant. Tyre recycling equipment from MMH Recycling Systems Ltd is already in use by many successful tyre recyclers; these four further installations will significantly increase tyre recycling capacity in the UK and Ireland.
Scrap tyres are a problem everywhere, and in Northern Ireland Entyre Recycling have set up the Country's first licensed site to recycle tyres.
Having had to dispose of a machine which wasn't suitable, Entyre had learned the hard way the importance of getting the right equipment for the job. Owner Colm Bradley was very keen to find a hard wearing machine that gave low down time and economical running.
Guided by MMH, Entyre have purchased a new Eldan SC1412T 160kw Supper Chopper to process Super Singles, Truck tyres, and Car tyres. There is no need to debead the truck tyres as the machine is built with a hardened rotor, has liner plates to withstand the abrasive steel and is hydraulic driven. Running at 23RPM it generates little dust and is very quiet. A major factor in this decision was Eldan's "modular approach", which allows Entyre to purchase parts of the plant in different stages.
The Eldan SC1412T has been set up as a plant and is now in operation. Entyre are very impressed with the new machine and MMH will soon be supplying the next stage of the plant to produce a rubber chip product".
As part of their plans to combat the scrap tyre problem in Leicester, environmental charity Environ (part of Groundwork Leicester and Leicestershire) has recently invested in a new Eldan tyre recycling plant for producing 20mm steel free chip.
After thorough research of the tyre recycling market, Directors Kevin Bush and Iqbal Bhatti found the Eldan range of machinery to be far superior to other machinery they had seen. They were also very impressed with how MMH and Eldan were able to supply systems to suit their specific requirements.
MMH have supplied Environ with the Heavy Rasper HR162T, which can liberate steel from whole car tyres or shredded tyres in one pass. With its heavy duty build, the HR162T is used by all major tyre recyclers in the UK and the world.
We have recently installed the first stage of the plant at their site and they are producing 20mm chip for equestrian. The second stage granulation line will be installed later this year, and will enable Environ to produce various grades of rubber granulate 99.99% free of steel & textile.
MMH Sales Manager Peter Jones says "Environ are very pleased with the plant we have delivered, and MMH is very happy to be involved with this rapidly expanding environmental charity".
The Eldan plant which consists of a Super Chopper SC1412 with it’s powerful Hagglunds Drive that will down size “old rolled”, casings, turnings, dirty profiles, sheets and bales. The material will be liberated to allow for ferrous separation.
The material will be further processed through a Heavy Granulator HG121 to produce a clean 50mm chip.
