Kiverco partners with Mick George on ‘UK first’

The shredder will handle construction and demolition waste at Mick George’s site in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom

The Trirex 26005 is a stationary, slow speed triple-rotor shredder with a hydraulic drive, that will be used at the Cambridgeshire site to shred Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste.

The shredded waste will then be fed to the existing Kiverco plant, where it will go through a series of processes to separate the waste into a variety of recyclable products.

Earlier this year, the Mick George Group and Kiverco teamed up to review how the waste was being processed and both agreed that the Rentec addition would help improve throughput and efficiency. The shredder would size the infeed material and enable the Kiverco waste plant to segregate the material more easily and allow each component within the plant to perform at the optimum level. “We receive a huge amount of C&D waste across the region, so it was essential that we found a solution capable of handling and processing high volumes,” said the customer’s managing director, Michael George.

”We went through the various options available to us with Kiverco and quickly agreed that the Rentec triple shaft was the only shredder capable of meeting our needs.”

Kiverco regional sales manager JP Devlin added: “The choice of shredder was critical at the Mick George St Ives site, as it is one of the largest and busiest waste transfer sites in the region.”
