A leading Scottish recycling firm has bought a brand new JCB JS20MH materials handler to process construction and demolition waste.
Renfrewshire-based WRC Recycling has purchased the new machine as part of a major investment in equipment to work at its new £4 million state-of-the-art materials recycling facilities in its hometown of Inchinnan.
The JS20MH – complete with hydraulically raised cab and selector grab - is responsible for sorting material and loading a new screening plant. That combination can process 40-tonnes-per-hour - contributing to a 90% productivity increase in the tonnage WRC can recycle compared to its previous operations.
