Waste Recycling Facilities

The Project

MRF sites across the UK segregate waste from local authorities and/or commercial/industrial customers. The MRF site uses a combination  of advanced mechanical sorting techniques and manual quality control to separate materials for processing and  re-purposing.

The Challenge

Despite many warnings, waste such as gas canisters can find their way into wheelie bins or containers at household waste level. These are deemed high risk and often explode when crushed during the waste recycling process.

The Solution

To reduce the associated risks and to protect personnel, JBS worked with the client to design, manufacture and install a blast containment curtain system. The blast curtain will absorb the blast and retain any frag thereby protecting staff from these high-risk events.
