Case studies
Complete in-house solution from conceptual design through to installation
Working in dirty, time sensitive tough environments is part of everyday practice at Herbert Engineering so when we were approached by a recycling customer who needed tough machinery but also a unique solution we knew this project was for us.
The requirement was to build and supply an elevator to load onto the top of a recycling silo system. Although this solution would work, Herbert did not feel it gave the results the customer was looking for, so with their agreement Herbert felt a better solution could be engineered to solve the customers problem. As a result a traversing feed conveyor system was developed to run above a number of silo bins and automatically fill depending on a pre-set sequence. Subsequently, to date ten of these innovative conveyor systems have been installed across the country for a mixture of privately operated and council managed sites, with licences to recycle green waste, food waste and animal by-products. The conveyor system is fully automated and operates with a simple HMI station.
