CDE has revealed its next webinar will focus on how producers can unlock greater value from their sand and aggregates.
The firm said demand for high-quality sand and aggregates is growing, but variability in recycled and natural materials can limit profitability. In today’s competitive market and evolving regulatory landscape, CDE said producers need to create as much value as possible from every tonne processed.
A webinar on Wednesday 22 October will feature wet processing specialists from CDE highlighting how the group’s equipment – including its latest innovation, the AggPulse wet density aggregates separator, as well as its CFCU density and sizing classification system, and ShearClean attrition cells – are helping operators move materials up the value chain.
Discussions will be led by senior product development engineer Leigh Moore with regional insights from Joseph Teahl, CDE’s business development manager for the US, and Thibault Vandecaveye, who will provide a European perspective.
By forcing pulsating air through a water-immersed bed of C&D waste, CDE said its AggPulse agitates and separates material fractions based on density. While lighter contaminants float to the top for separation, heavier material settle in the bed of the unit, which is designed to ensure valuable aggregates continue through the process for further washing and sizing.
CDE’s CFCU provides a system for removing lightweight contamination from fine material fractions. Water is then removed from the CFCU underflows on the dewatering screens, and the clean sand is stockpiled.
The webinar will also feature CDE’s ShearClean Attrition Cells, a patented technology designed for contaminant removal from fine material feeds. Featuring a paddle design that is said to maximise material-on-material impact, CDE added that the ShearClean design reduces power demand and operational costs, while features such as rubber-lined cells and an integrated oil cooling system ensure ‘long-term reliability and maximum up-time’.
Thibault Vandecaveye commented, “With waste streams becoming increasingly dirty and complex, integrating CDE’s CFCU, ShearClean, and AggPulse technologies has been transformative for our customers operations. The integration of CDE’s CFCU and ShearClean technologies at sites like Entreprise Spiess or Freehaven has unlocked new levels of efficiency in fines recovery and contaminant removal from sand fractions, allowing materials to be upgraded and reintroduced into the value chain.
“With the addition of AggPulse to a washing process, valuable aggregates an also be separated from the dirtiest waste streams. It’s a game-changer for moving material up the value chain. This webinar will showcase how these innovations are driving circularity and profitability in modern waste recycling or aggregates washing operations.”
The webinar will take place at 15:00 BST | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EDT. For more information and to register, visit www.cdegroup.com.
