In the Netherlands, Jansen Recycling (of A. Jansen BV) specializes in infrastructure demolition and remediation, debris recycling and a variety of concrete production. With multiple sites and installations using belt scales, maintenance and data collection are critical to success. Jansen Recycling turned to ACB-Transportbanden and Rice Lake Weighing Systems for their system maintenance and renovation.
Jansen Recycling has two installations in Helmond for sorting construction material and debris. The first is an extractive installation to sieve soil contaminated by oil or chemicals so it can be sorted into different types. Sand extracted in this process is immediately processed in the concrete mortar plant on the same site. The second installation is an Aquamotor used to clean contaminated rubble, concrete and glass before the material goes back into the recycling circuit.
When Jansen Recycling wanted to update their material dosing systems, they worked with Rice Lake Weighing Systems’ team to understand their options and select the best system for their needs.
Conveyor Belts and Scales
Jansen Recycling uses multiple conveyor belts at their Helmond sites, and site manager John van Hout trusts ACB-Transportbanden for maintenance of these conveyors. ACB is located in Horst aan de Maas and they sell, install and service a variety of conveyor belt components in the Netherlands.
Many of the conveyor belts are also paired with belt scales, and these systems must operate reliably in rough conditions. John van Hout wasn’t satisfied with the maintenance performed by their previous belt scale supplier and, in 2017, he asked ACB if they could perform the scale and conveyor maintenance.
Belt scale maintenance is a specialized service area so ACB approached Rice Lake Weighing Systems about performing this maintenance. ACB had worked with the experts at Rice Lake’s Heteren location (formerly Master Engineering) for 10 years already, making the partnership a clear choice.
