Doubling wood recycling at Enva's Manchester facility
In just one year, Enva has doubled its wood recycling capacity by investing in a Pronar 2.1010 recycling shredder
Background
Enva, one of the UK and Ireland’s leading recycling and resource recovery specialists, had identified a need to upgrade the shredders at its Droylsden wood recycling facility to increase its processing capability and meet the growing demand for sustainable animal bedding and Biomass. The facility, spanning 18 acres, processes up to 500 tonnes of wood waste daily, including grade A (high-quality clean wood) and grade C (lower-quality wood material).
Challenge
The primary challenge was to find a wood recycling shredder capable of handling a higher throughput rate and efficiently shredding both grade A and grade C wood. Enva needed a wood recycling shredder that would not only increase production but also maintain the quality of the woodchips produced.
Solution
After evaluating several options, Enva's site manager, Neil Ogden, was impressed by the specifications of the Pronar 2.1010 recycling shredder. Following a visit to Pronar's manufacturing facility in Poland and a demonstration of the machine, Enva decided to invest in the Pronar 2.1010. This machine was chosen for its advanced technology, noise reduction, and superior throughput capabilities.
Installing the Pronar 2.1010 recycling shredder
The Pronar 2.1010 was installed, and Global Machinery Solutions provided onsite training to ensure the Enva team could operate the wood recycling shredder safely and effectively. Initially, it took time to adjust the settings for optimal performance, but with support from Global Machinery Solutions, the team quickly adapted.
Results
Since the installation of the Pronar 2.1010, Enva has seen remarkable improvements:
- Daily processing capacity of grade A wood has increased from 30-35 tonnes to over 50 tonnes.
- The machine operates continuously with minimal downtime, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
- Employees are now able to focus on other areas of the site, eliminating the need for additional hires.
