With a capacity of 70 - 80 t/h in Manchester Set up in the late 1950’s by Geoff Boden and Eric Davies and still owned by the Boden family, the company has become an industry leader in wood waste recycling handling over 800 tonnes of waste each day. Based on a 15 acre site in Astley in Greater Manchester the plant recycles wood which is supplied to various industries such as flooring, manufacturing and biomass. The company is also one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and supplier of pet products. The Bodens plant is one of the world’s biggest waste wood recycling plants. We would like to give you a brief insight into the system: The waste wood processing line has been supplied and installed in 2008. The system has been running for more than 30,000 hours and more than 2,400,000 tonnes of waste wood have been processed! The line starts with a mobile HAAS Twin-Shaft Slow Speed Shredder on tracks – TYRON 2.500 – to which the waste and demolition wood is fed. The pre-shredder reduces the material to a size

“Fluidised soil” is increasingly important, not least as a result of new developments and progress in machine technology. The 3‑mtbc starscreen from Backers is used for 3 fraction screening. Retrofitted with a container for binder, the 3‑mtbc starscreen can be used as a screening and mixing machine and to produce fluidised soil. Water is added to the concrete mixer in measured quantities when the machine is filled. For sticky and clayey soils, screening at 60 mm is recommended. The new 3‑mtcf starscreen can add water to the mixture of soil and compound in measured quantities and then mix them in the flow mixer. The system can therefore produce fluidised soil at up to 150 t/h. NEW A smaller version can also be used for screening and to produce fluidised soil. The concept consists of a 2-hma starscreen and a loader with quick coupler, bucket and rotor mixer. All the machines can be transported using a hook lift truck with trailer. The
