Hewitt Robins Expands into Waste Management with Innovative Flip Flow Screen

27 Jan 2025

As a global leader in material handling solutions, Hewitt Robins is making significant strides in the waste and recycling sector. Having recently supplied a state-of-the-art flip flow screen to a skip hire company in the north of England, we have been delivering impactful results for waste processing efficiency and cost reduction.

The Hewitt Robins Flip Flow Screen is designed to separate fine material from skip waste with precision, creating two distinct products. By processing waste at the correct aperture, the machine enables the customer to qualify a portion of the waste for a lower landfill tax rate, significantly reducing costs.

At the heart of these savings is the Loss on Ignition (LOI) test. This process measures the combustibility of the waste material by weighing a sample before and after exposure to high temperatures. Materials with a lower LOI value are subject to a significantly reduced landfill tax rate of £4.05 per tonne, compared to the standard rate of £126.15 per tonne, representing substantial savings for waste management operations.

This most recent project was supplied on a ready-to-install frame, with the customer successfully installing the Flip Flow Screen and immediately reaping the benefits. Replacing an older, conventional screen, the Hewitt Robins Flip Flow Screen has delivered enhanced performance. The customer shared their satisfaction, stating: “The new Hewitt Robins Flip Flow has been an improvement on the previous conventional screen, requiring less time clearing the decks and offering more efficient screening.”

This project underscores Hewitt Robins’ commitment to innovation in waste management, helping customers navigate industry challenges while achieving operational and environmental goals.

With this success, Hewitt Robins solidifies its position as a trusted partner in the growing waste and recycling sector, offering advanced screening solutions tailored to meet the evolving demands of the industry.
