Birch Airfield Composting, based Nr. Colchester, Essex has taken delivery of a Neuenhauser 2F Mobile Star Screen from the sole UK distributor Riverside Machinery Ltd.

The decision to purchase a Neuenhauser Star Screen was made after a very successful demonstration on screening shredded and un-shredded green waste to a minus -25mm product

During this demonstration the Neuenhauser Star Screen proved that it returned huge tonnes per hour, excellent separation of materials, very good fuel efficiency and general ease of use.

Supplied by Riverside Machinery the Neuenhauser 2F Mobile Star Screen is a German built high production screener that incorporates all the quality features associated with the Neuenhauser brand – 1st class components, 1st class build quality and 1st class reliability.

Birch Airfield Composting Services Ltd which is headed up by Mr Jim Strathern are one of the leading composting operations in Essex, producing compost in 3 grades, agricultural – up to 32mm, garden & landscape – up to 10mm and fine soil grade – up to 5mm.

A waste processing company in South Yorkshire have recently taken delivery of a new Neuenhauser star screen for processing their shredded skip waste.

The machine works in conjunction with a slow speed shredder which feeds directly onto the star screen. The star screen removes the -40mm organic fraction which can go as cover to landfill. The +40mm product can then be sold for RDF production.

The star screen is fitted with a patented star which has blunt fingers and therefore prevents wrapping around the stars which is a common problem with other manufacturers. According to the owner, “this will result in a huge financial saving for the company, this little star screen is worth its weight in gold”.

Riverside Machinery have delivered their latest Neuenhauser star screen to long standing customer SJB Recycling.

The machine in question is a mobile Neuenhauser star screen which is fitted with a windshifter for cleaning the oversize and will be put to work screening green waste on the various Yorkshire Water sites the company operates throughout Yorkshire. The company currently run several Neuenhauser star screen’s and are seen as the only machine to be used for their screening operations due to the high output and quality of separation achieved.

This is the latest generation star screen from Neuenhauser. Stand out features include a 4 litre JCB powerunit, class leading screenbox with a size of 7 Metres x 1.2 Metres, high energy screw auger and CAN-BUS control system, and class leading windshifter

SJB Recycling Ltd are a subsidiary of Yorwaste. A North Yorkshire based company specialising in the processing of waste and waste to energy generation. In 2012 / 13 a total of 953,000 tonnes of waste was processed by the company

John O’Neill comments “we are extremely proud to have such a long standing relationship with SJB. They bought their first star screen from ourselves in 2004 and since that time we have continued to build on a very successful relationship”.

A South Gloucestershire skip firm have recently taken delivery of a new Neuenhauser Star Screen for processing their shredded skip waste. The machine works in conjunction with a slow speed shredder which feeds directly onto the star screen. The star screen removes the -30mm fines fraction and produces a very light +30mm waste. Due to the aggressive screening nature of the star screen a very small footprint is required and the separation is much better than a conventional trommel.

The star screen is fitted with a patented star which has blunt fingers and therefore prevents wrapping around the stars which is a common problem with other manufacturers. According to the owner, “by purchasing this star screen we have reduced the amount of material we send to landfill by 40%”.
