New addition to the BP Mitchell machine fleet: MOBIREX MR 100i NEO

With the purchase of the new MOBIREX MR 100i NEO mobile impact crusher, British recycling company BP Mitchell is ideally equipped to meet future demand. The company has been relying on the exceptional quality and efficiency of Kleemann plants for many years.

BP Mitchell in Hatfield, north of London, recycles building materials from the Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex regions and is one of the most advanced recycling centres in the area. For the most part, mixed construction waste and asphalt are delivered and processed there. The company is committed to using cutting-edge technology. One example is the large washing plant where the recycling material is cleaned and prepared for further processing. This includes many of the red bricks typical of England. Another example is the new state-of-the-art Ciber asphalt plant, which produces mixes of outstanding quality. BP Mitchell’s first choice for mobile crushing and screening plants is Kleemann. “Our goal is to produce recycled material of the highest quality possible. To achieve this, we invest in high-quality, cutting-edge machinery,” explains Brendan Mitchell, Managing Director of BP Mitchell.

Years of successful collaboration with Kleemann

The company’s fleet of machines already includes four MOBICAT jaw crushers, two MOBISCREEN coarse material screening plants and a MOBIBELT mobile stacker from Kleemann. “What impresses us time and again about the Kleemann plants is their innovative features and outstanding ease of use. Our people find the machines very easy to handle. Everything can be adjusted and operated intuitively and conveniently,” says Brendan Mitchell.

With its decision in favour of the new MOBIREX MR 100i NEO compact crusher, BP Mitchell has invested in a machine that is ideally suited to dealing with the very mixed and sticky feed material. The plant in Hatfield produces material for road substructures (Type 1, < 40 mm grain size) and for further processing in the washing plant. The new impact crusher also produces recycled asphalt grains smaller than 20 mm to feed the Ciber asphalt plant.

High output with low fuel consumption

Another feature of the MR 100i NEO that greatly impresses the Managing director is its low fuel consumption of only 11 litres per hour, which significantly reduces costs. Today, the MR 100i NEO produces up to 60 tonnes per hour of the 0–20 mm grain size – an excellent performance. The large single-deck post-screen with a screen area of over 4 m² also contributes to this high output. The material can be distributed optimally across the screen surface and ‘bottlenecks’ are virtually eliminated. Up to 100,000 tonnes are produced in the smaller grain sizes and up to 200,000 tonnes in the larger grain sizes. In addition to the outstanding performance of the plants, there is another decisive reason for the company’s long-standing collaboration with Kleemann and Wirtgen Limited: “The advice and service we receive are first-class. We know that we can rely on the on-site technicians. And that gives us real peace of mind.”
