Argentinian recycling
initiative
Recycling is at an relatively early stage in South America, but in Argentina Trans-Plus SRL is
using a Rockster R900 impact crusher with a screen box and return belt to produce clean
recycled aggregate with a consistent grain size for road fill.
The Argentinian government is attempting to find a solution to the problem of roads
being washed away during heavy rainfall. It appears that subcontractors have in the past
used road fill that containsmaterials that expand when wet and do not hold the compacted
material together, causing roads to break up and dumpmaterial into watercourses,
contributing to flash flooding and associated deaths.
Trans-Plus is therefore working with the government on a trial project where recycled
material is certified as being suitable for non-structural construction use and has been
performing numerous tests with its final output product. Trans-Plus general manager
Luciano Emiliozzi said: “After demonstrating the cleanmaterial our Rockster R900was
producing, we began to sell to local municipalities and they now only want our recycled
material.”
TheMarilyn CS 160RS shear supplied to Francisco
Mata SA is the largest in Trevi Benne’s range
