Bruce Washpod right fit for Mayer Earthworks
Mayer Earthworks Ltd, a groundworks specialist based in Staffordshire, has expanded its material processing capabilities with the purchase of a Bruce WashPod from CRJ Services Ltd. The WashPod, developed by Bruce Engineering Ltd, is a compact wash plant that produces three grades of cleaned aggregates and a single sand product.
Bruce Engineering Ltd developed the WashPod to meet the demand of a sub-sector of the aggregate recycling industry that want to wash secondary recycled materials, to produce sized gravel and sand products, but with limited space on-site, in which to do so. The WashPod comprises of a set of modular components situated within a space similar to that of two 40ft high cube containers, making it easier and more cost-efficient to transport and install compared to larger, traditional wash plants. The system includes a dual shaft log washer that scrubs material as it enters the Pod.
The cleaned material leaves the log wash and is fed onto a washing screen that further cleans and sizes the material in preparation for stockpiling. The dirt from the log wash leaves at the rear with organic matter and trash captured via the on-board Trash Screen. The sand is collected from the washing screen into a 'sand tank' which is pumped into the hydro cyclones for further cleaning and silt removal. Finally, the sand is fed onto a dewatering screen, which removes the remaining water and produces a clean sand product, with less than of 12% moisture content.
The WashPod purchased by Mayer Earthworks is processing sub-40mm grab-away material, a by-product of its groundwork services. The raw material is screened with a deck screener, with the sub-40mm being fed into the WashPod Hopper. Following the scrubbing, trash removal, and rinsing process, clean 10mm, 20mm, 25-40mm aggregate products and a single coarse sand product are outputted, suitable for sale in the construction industry.
