A new glass reprocessing plant has been set up on a quarry site near Doncaster, using machinery supplied by Finlay Hire. Bank End Quarry, a 135-acre site in Blaxton, S Yorks, has been operating for 35 years. Moss Construction Aggregates and Recycling have been running the site, which is still producing red building sand for five years, but the reprocessing plant adds a new string to the company's bow. Waste glass is ground to -50mm ina Tesab RK623 impact crusher before entering a feeder to a Terex Finlay triple-deck, horizontal washing screen. Any lightweight material, such as paper or plastic, is floated off through a Mogensen trash screen, while the -6mm glass fines enter a Terex Finlay TC15 Sandmaster. Twin cyclones on the machine separate the washing water from the clean glass fines, which are stockpiled before being sold for use in concrete block and pipe construction.
