Pre-treats fly ash
September 1st 2004

In a contract worth more than £40 000, Ajax Equipment is to supply Grundon Waste Management with a large diameter twin screw conditioner to pre-treat unconditioned fly ash and lime waste materials ahead of landfill.

For use at Grundon’s Bishops Cleeve site, it takes fly ash and lime-containing residue and mixes it with water to produce a damp mixture that is transferred to landfill where it solidifies.

The 5m long, twin 600mm conditioner has fixed mixing paddles and stainless steel internal water spray bars. Given the abrasive nature of the mixed powder, the paddles are constructed in hard wearing carbon steel plate. They are easily removed and replaced at the end of their serviceable life.

The mixer is designed for one man operation and includes quick release covers with a counterbalance arrangement to allow easy access to the screws for cleaning.
