Aber Sand & Gravel, a family owned company based in the rolling hills of Aberystwyth have taken delivery of a Portafill 3000 Washing Plant.

Supplied by UK dealer Riverside Machinery Ltd, the plant consists of a diesel driven fresh water pump, tracked rinsing screen, sand plant and sand stockpiling conveyor.

Due to the location of the plant being in an area of outstanding natural beauty it was vital the plant was as compact as possible to comply with strict planning rules. With a working height of only 3.5 metres and a working area of 18 metres x 15 metres including stockpiles the Portafill washplant ticked all the boxes.

The plant is currently set-up to produce a -5mm washed concrete sand, 5mm – 15mm washed gravel and a washed oversize. The oversize will be crushed and re-circulated through the system. The water for the plant is provided by an on-site lagoon and waste water is sent to a separate lagoon.
