GOUGH ENGINEERING LTD has completed a waste Sawdust separation plant at Pets at Home. 25 tons of animal bedding,
contaminated with animal droppings, paper, cardboard, plastic cups, animal toys and other undesirable items, enters the
facility via pallet sized containers to be recycled.
Landfill charges for this kind of waste can be in excess of £50 per 100 kg therefore Pets at Home needed a solution.
The outcome was a Vibratory Feeder, screening and conveying process followed by a vacuumed air separation hood. The
waste enters a Gough receiving Hopper to accommodate two bags of 10m³, it is then fed into two Heavy Duty Linear
Vibratory Feeders that convey the wood chips contaminated with small pieces of animal waste, card, plastic, wood, etc at a
rate of 1300 kg’s per hour. The waste is screened along the Feeders and the heavy undesirable items fall into a collection
bin to be disposed of, whilst the lighter recyclable hay and sawdust is sucked and blown by the ‘Air Knife’ separation
vacuum, as supplied by Nicholls Air Systems, into a 14 metre sealed road wagon to be sent off for recycling.
