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

With its purchase of the new mobile impact crusher MOBIREX MR 100i NEO the British recycling company BP Mitchell is ideally equipped to meet future demand. BP Mitchell 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 modern recycling centers in the area. For the most part, mixed building rubble and asphalt are delivered and processed there. The company places its trust in the latest technologies: One example is the large washing plant where the recycled material, which includes a large proportion of the typically English red bricks, is cleaned and prepared for further processing. Or the new Ciber asphalt mixing plant, which produces mixes in consistent quality. BP Mitchell’s first choice for mobile crushing and screening plants is Kleemann. “Our aim is to produce recycled materials of the highest possible quality. 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 jaw crushers MOBICAT, two coarse material screening plants MOBISCREEN and a mobile stockpile conveyor MOBIBELT 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 favor of the new MOBIREX MR 100i NEO compact crusher, BP Mitchell has invested in a plant 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 Performance with Low Fuel Consumption

The low fuel consumption of only 11 liters per hour also greatly impressed the businessman because it significantly reduces costs. Today, grain sizes of 0–20 mm are produced by the MR 100i NEO per hour (up to 60 tons) – outstanding 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 tons are produced in the smaller grain sizes and up to 200,000 tons 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.”
