Britaniacrest ups recycling capabilities with Kiverco plant

The company, which is based in Surrey and had outgrown its previous plant, recently commissioned a bespoke plant in order to divert more waste away from landfill, and to increase operational uptime.

Britaniacrest’s newly installed recycling plant boasts a throughput of up to 50-60 tonnes of per hour and is designed to handle streams of construction and demolition (C&D) waste and commercial and industrial (C&I) waste streams in parallel.

Kiverco, which 16 years ago provided the company’s previous recycling plant, said: “Having a reliable recycling plant capable of high levels of throughput is essential to waste management companies such as Britaniacrest, and the long-standing relationship between the two companies has evolved into a trusted partnership, which played a significant role in their decision to invest in a much larger Kiverco plant.”

Ray Foss from Britaniacrest, said: “We have been working with Kiverco for many years and have been consistently impressed by the durability of their products and their exceptional aftercare support.

“The team listened to our needs and provided a solution to enhance our purity levels with a fines clean-up.”

Although Britaniacrest’s new plant is now up and running, the company has not discarded its old Kiverco trommel. After undergoing some modifications and maintenance work, the plant has now been relocated and is back in use. 

“Now, we’re diverting nearly 100% of our waste from landfill—everything is separated, baled, and exported,” said Ray. “We expect to get another four or five years of use from it.”
