PVCu window recycler CNC Recycling has completed the first phase the installation of its new recycling facility with the capability of processing both post-industrial and post-consumer  material ready for extrusion.

Installation of the Delta Cleaner, Hamos EKS electrostatic separator, Cimbria colour sorting equipment is now complete, with the integration of the Hamos KWS Unit to follow in April.

This represents an overall investment by CNC Recycling in the region of £2million over the course of the last twelve months into their infrastructure of recycling old windows and doors back into the fenestration Industry.

The introduction of the new separators will achieve UPVC purities of 99.5% in one pass, the company says. The colour sorting system separates colour impurities still remaining in the material, so that the UPVC is refined ready for extrusion.

Managing director Melanie Coates said of the new plant: “The investment was the next natural step in our UPVC recycling process to create a closed loop . One of the big hurdles in reuse is processing UPVC so that it can be used effectively into the extrusion of new products. Therefore we have installed a plant that can clean and refine to the highest possible standards. We are very proud of the innovative and technological system installed.”

To complement the processing/recovery arm of the company CNC has added three new tractor units and trailers to its fleet complete with Terberg truck mounted forklift trucks and over ten new smaller collection vehicles,  bringing their total fleet to 40 vehicles.
