METSO Barmac B-Series VSI Crushers Waste & recycling

As the costs of producing aggregates from natural supplies becomes more distant from markets due to residential and industrial zoning, plant operators are looking at recycling as a viable option for providing aggregates and industrial minerals to their markets.

Recycled materials not only take the form of mineral aggregates for the construction industry, but also glass, slags and any other waste product that can be reduced and sold.

These materials are usually fairly cheap to secure and, if treated properly, will provide performance equal to any naturally sourced material.

The Barmac VSI provides the perfect means of treating these materials. The versatility of the Barmac VSI allows it to be used to great effect in many applications.

Crusher fines

Turning Liabilities into Assets

By applying the unique crushing action of the Barmac VSI, existing heaps of waste crusher fines can be processed into premium manufactured sand by a mobile Barmac VSI crushing plant, thus converting a liability into an asset and improving the bottom line of your operation.

Slags

The Barmac VSI has proved an effective tool for handling steel slag and other abrasive metal slags such as that from tin, copper and aluminium.

Rock-on-rock reduction allows these unsaleable by-products to be crushed and shaped into premium grade aggregates for roading, concrete and drainage uses.

Asphalt

Paving the way to Profit

The use of recycled material is an ever increasing market area. Asphalt recycling is also becoming a more active industry as the potential of this particular waste product is recognised.

Concrete

From Rubble to Riches

In a world with a developing social conscience, where recycling a material to increase its useful life and reduce pressure on the environment is vital, the recycling of concrete to produce second generation aggregates is increasingly gaining acceptance. At present, approximately 5% of the aggregates used in the construction industry contains recycled concrete.

Glass

No More Glass Ceilings

Recycling glass is environmentally responsible and makes economic sense. The experience and knowledge gained from participating in the glass recycling industry put the Barmac VSI in a position of strength when it comes to attacking glass recycling applications.
