Sustainably saving resources: Concrete is a silent polluter, causing high CO² emissions in manufacturing. The company Urban Mine is now working against these effects with an innovative and newly developed process. The enterprise based near Amsterdam has specialized in recycling concrete. In the new process, the original components sand, gravel and cement are recovered from concrete rubble and used to make new concrete in an ecofriendly process. The energy supply of the plant is delivered by solar panels and the rainwater is collected in a container and then used in the process.
In order to enable high quality recycling of the concrete, Urban Mine puts an emphasis on a precise separation of the concrete particles into multiple fractions. JOEST screens are ideal for this scenario and are distinguished by a very clean screen cut. In total, three Circular Motion Screens and a Flip-Flow Screen are used for various screening processes throughout the plant and three Vibrating Trough Type Feeders manage parts of the material transportation.
