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".
