Skipway Waste Management 50tph Trommel Fines Wash Plant - CDE Projects

Skipway Waste Management, based in Lisburn, has commissioned the first trommel fines plant in Northern Ireland in a bid to push the boundaries in sustainable innovation.

Turning waste into resources:

Skipway’s primary aim was to divert trommel fines from landfill and convert the material into a resource by producing recycled product with the same specification and quality as quarry grade sand, therefore making it suitable for concrete and building products while also improving the quality of other recycled aggregates such as pipe bedding and recycled hardcore.

The CDE Solution:

CDE proposed a trommel fines wet processing plant, the first of its kind in Northern Ireland, to equip Skipway with the means to wash & segregate material and recover materials from C&D waste.

The plant, which incorporates AggMax modular logwasher, EvoWash sand wash plant with Counter Flow Classification Unit (CFCU), AquaCycle thickener, and static screens, operates at a rate of 50tph.

Resulting in increased value
Following the commissioning and installation of this plant, Skipway are now producing coarse aggregates, coarse and fine sands for use in in concrete production, drainage, and construction bedding.

By washing the inert materials to remove contamination, clean sand and aggregates extracted from the trommel fines waste can be resold and reused in the secondary aggregates market to close the loop on waste, contributing to a circular economy and opening new revenue streams for the company to ensure swift return on investment.
