Why leading industry player in construction and demolition resource recovery and recycling – BMI Resource Recovery continues to partner with Tutt Bryant Equipment.
BMI Resource Recovery has been at the forefront of property development and the provision of waste management solutions for recycling, waste transfer stations and landfill activities in south-east Queensland since 1988.
While the privately-owned business undertakes resource recovery at all sites, two plants in particular focus on the recovery of various materials, including concrete, bricks, masonry, asphalt, green waste, timber, soils, metals, e-waste, and plasterboard from a mixed waste stream.
More than 90 per cent of the waste delivered to BMI’s resource recovery sites is recycled and reused – either separated for further reprocessing or collected by specialist recycling partners.
The company’s concrete crushing plants play a crucial role in producing a range of recycled road base products used in building, landscaping, and civil construction.
Committed to improve resource recovery conversions, BMI continues to develop its sites and invest in state-of the-art waste sorting technology.
BMI purchased an M&J 4000-8 mobile pre-shredder from Tutt Bryant in 2021. The company was so impressed by the machine’s performance and reliability, that when management was considering further expansion of shredding operations, it turned to Tutt Bryant for a solution.
BMI’s Watson Road facility at Acacia Ridge processes large volumes of construction and demolition (C&D) waste. A fixed plant extracts recoverables such as concrete, timber and steel.
The residual waste from this process is normally bulky, light products such as plastic pipe, gyprock, and the like. BMI has placed another M&J 4000-8 into this operation to reduce the volumes of these residual products and maximise transport densities and landfill compaction.
“It’s one hell of a shredder,” Site Manager Ryan Watson says of the M&J shredder. “We have thrown power poles in this thing, and it eats them. It is simple to operate, has great access and is very manoeuvrable around site. It’s a really good machine.”
In parallel, BMI Group’s Operations Manager AJ Ali required another shredder at the Stapylton Resource Recovery facility to support various shredding applications around the site.
This was AJ’s third M&J shredder purchase and his reason for the repeat purchases was clear.
“We need a machine that is fit for purpose and robust enough to handle the volumes and composition of waste streams we receive. The M&J is very reliable and provides great production.”
M&J Waste Recycling shredding technology is based on an aggressive knife design and open cutting table which provides outstanding performance when dealing with mixed and challenging materials.
These key features make M&J PreShred units resistant to wear caused by materials and waste normally considered as unshreddable, including metal, reinforced concrete and rocks.
The combination of aggressive knives cutting in both directions through the cutting table and the shafts running asynchronously means shredding is available in every direction to optimise production.
Tutt Bryant Equipment provides technical support to BMI Group with ongoing equipment, parts, and service needs, as required.
