When the Austip recycling team were researching what the right equipment would be for their application and material profile, they leveraged the experience that FOCUS enviro had illustrated through installing multiple waste recovery plants in Sydney and throughout Australia. The mobile system FOCUS enviro recommended would allow Austip Recycling to adapt the set-up to local market conditions.

The investment at the Riverstone recycling centre features 3 pieces of high-powered EDGE Innovate equipment including an EDGE TRT622 trommel screen, a Slayer XL waste shredder and 4 bay picking station, which work in harmony to ensure effective processing at each downstream stage. The plant utilizes a combination of mechanical and manual separation technology to ensure efficient waste recovery. After initial pre-picking to remove visible items such as large slabs of concrete and metal, the material is pushed into the waste shredder. In addition to standard shredding, the machine features a heavy-duty magnet that removes metals for later recovery. The material then moves through a trommel screen that separates soils and fines for classification and disposal. The remaining material – anything larger than 20 millimetres – is sent to the picking station. At the picking station light materials such as plastics and cardboard are separated, with heavier materials including metal, concrete, brick and timber dropped into under-side bins. The entire system barring the picking station is tracked. This provides added  flexibility, allowing Austip Recycling to adapt and adjust processes to meet changing needs and waste profiles.
