Clean & Green Recycling director Steve Rhind didn’t take long to decide that the compliment of an EDGE Deep stacker would lift their capability for delivering on demand, finished composts and soils in record time.  Steve adds that “we were aware of the popularity of the EDGE Trommel Screen within our industry, most of our partners and competitors business have at least one. On a site visit with the FOCUS team to see the EDGE Trommel in action in Eastern Creek we also seen the EDGE FTS R Deep Stacker operating and knew it would be a brilliant fit for our process and material needs. The option to have the radial product conveyor, better turning of the material and stacking finished product higher was a green light for the purchase of the second machine”.

The FTSR is serving a growing number of medium to large organic recyclers in Australia. Designed in partnership with EDGE and based on Aussie client feedback, the machine offers flexibility with many end users divided on which features they utilize the most. Drivers for the purchase reported from business owners in South Australia and New South Wales with machines currently operated include reduced cycle times, water savings and a much reduced maturation footprint.

Operations manager Joel Rhind further commented on the simplicity of the EDGE FTS Radial, “when we saw the material surging off the product belt it was amazing to find out how simple the internal double augers were working to aggressively turn our compost windrows at speed. We couldn’t believe it had not been done before it was that simple. The load sensing feeder working with the onboard liquids pump meant we could accurately provide the right amount of water injected into our material consistently and without excess water loss.  The results can be seen from the first bucket. The machines in combination are without any doubt a success and we now even load our finished product out with the FTS R in record time and without the worry of loaders getting too close to the trucks.”
