We’ve installed recycling plant to stop waste going to landfill

We have put in a Kiverco waste sorting plant that will allow us to recycle and recover up to 95% of construction and demolition waste as well as the household, commercial and industrial waste we receive from customers.

An exciting and important investment for us.

As a company, we are committed to diverting as much waste as possible from landfill in the Somerset area, and the Kiverco plant will certainly help us to achieve our goal.

The Kiverco plant

The Kiverco plant consists of a hopper/feeder, combi waste screen, five-bay picking station for manual sorting, two overband magnets to remove ferrous metals, an Air Density Separator (ADS) to remove lights material from the mid-size fraction and a powerful fan blower to remove any lights found in the oversize hardcore material at the end of the recovery process.

The Kiverco plant is designed to process more than 60,000 tonnes per annum of waste. The system will recover hardcore, brick/concrete, ferrous metals, non-ferrous, hard plastics, plastic bottles (HDPE & PET), wood, cardboard, and an RDF/SRF product.

Con Gallagher, Global Sales Manager at Kiverco, said: “S Roberts Group are a well-known business in the South West and we were very pleased when they chose Kiverco to design and install this waste plant. They are committed to recovering as much clean waste product as possible from their incoming waste and help contribute to a more sustainable future for everyone.”
