Wilson Plant upgrades recycling capabilities with Screenpro S16

The mobile scalping screen from EDGE Innovate, which was launched recently in the UK at Hillhead 2026, has been installed at the company’s recycling plant near Farnham, in Hampshire, where it processes construction and demolition waste alongside green waste and soils.

These materials are transformed into high-quality recycled aggregates, topsoil, compost, sand and other landscaping products supplied to customers throughout the region.

The Screenpro S16 has quickly become an essential part of Wilson Plant’s operation, according to owner Sam Wilson, who first saw the machine at ConExpo in Las Vegas earlier in the year and later bought it through EDGE Innovate’s distributor, Red Knight 6.

As demand for recycled materials continued to grow, the company had recognised the need to invest in a higher-capacity screening solution capable of processing increasing volumes and handling difficult recycling materials.

Working closely with Red Knight 6, Wilson Plant selected the new EDGE Screenpro S16, which delivers production capacities of up to 600 tonnes per hour in a compact, transport-friendly footprint.

Before the making the decision to invest with EDGE Innovate, the team visited the manufacturing facility to see how the machines are built.

Sam Wilson commented, “The robust Screenpro S16 is exactly what we needed as it can easily process all the waste that we handle, even including challenging material.

“The machine features a screen box that is four feet longer than our previous three-way screener, boosting throughput by up to 40%, using about the same amount of diesel as the old unit, so we are really impressed by its performance.”

Wilson Plant’s operators have also praised the machine, in particular the intuitive control system and wireless remote control, which allow key functions to be operated from inside the loader cab or from distances of up to 100 metres.

Finally, the company highlighted the support provided by Red Knight 6 as an important part of its positive ownership experience.
