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.

First Tyre Plant to be set up in Northern 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”.


MMH helps Leicester become an Environmental City






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".
