Recycling concrete reduces environmental impact

Sponsored

Demand for recycled aggregate is on the rise, particularly the market for recycled concrete.

Mobile Screening & Crushing NZ offers the TEREX EvoQuip range of ‘Cobra’ impact crushers, designed to efficiently and effectively reduce materials, including aggregates, concrete and many types of minerals.

The compact Cobra can operate in even the most demanding of applications such as reinforced concrete. The integrated afterscreen system on the Cobra ensures the required product specification is achieved with oversize material either being recirculated back to the crusher or else stockpiled.

TEREX EvoQuip Crushing – Cobra 230R & 290R impact crushers

The 230R & 290R impact crushers are available now for purchase, x stock. Both units are also offered for hire from MSC’s extensive rental fleet, with competitive long or short term hire rates.

These primary impact crushers are very effective for recycling, in addition to many aggregate-crushing operations. Impact crushers shatter materials by striking them with blow bars mounted on a horizontal rotor. Rotor speed can be varied according to the type of application and materials being crushed.

EvoQuip Cobra impactor crushers are easily transported wherever needed and feature a quick site setup time. They are compact, self-contained crushers designed for easy use in cramped urban areas with space restrictions.

Cobra impact crushers can be set up on roading, demolition, or construction sites to crush on the spot for potential immediate use of product.

Successful recycling – overload protection

EvoQuip Cobra crushers have an overload protection feature. This functionality enables continuous crushing and protects the crusher from extreme overloads.

Interested in exploring concrete recycling as a sustainable solution?

• Production waste is an issue, and concrete is a major contributor. Concrete recycling reuses concrete already produced and ultimately reduces landfill waste
• Producing recycled concrete aggregate minimises the impact on the environment, compared to producing natural aggregates
• Recycled concrete is a viable alternative to quarry products

Environmental impacts

• Simply by reusing and recycling concrete waste, you can make a positive impact on the environment!
• Reusing concrete waste provides customers with affordable, sustainable concrete alternatives
• Recycled concrete aggregates make a great alternative to quarry aggregates
• By reusing concrete, you can be part of the shift towards a more sustainable way of demolition, construction, and landscaping!
• Using recycled concrete saves both the environment and money
• Recycling consumes less raw material and preserves gravel resources
• Less transportation needs, which means lower fuel consumption. Using EvoQuip mobile crushers, crushing can be done on-site and material can immediately be used there again as filling material. This also means less material goes to waste and, ultimately, less dumping ground space is needed
• Recycling turns unwanted concrete into sought-after quality end products

Recycled concrete is a valuable resource. Recycled concrete can be used in a range of landscaping and construction applications, including:

• Driveways
• Drainage
• Decoration
• Pathways
• Retaining wall fillings
• Sub-bases
• Under slabs
