Engineering Project Overview

Project Overview

Over time, the requirements of waste processing equipment—such as the mixing silo—can change. Factors such as materials handled, mixing quality standards, and performance targets often evolve, making engineering upgrades essential.

Burnhouse Engineering’s collaborative approach meant that adjustments could be made to the client’s process without disrupting overall operations, ensuring continued efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Engineering Solutions Delivered

Increased Capacity

Burnhouse Engineering increased the height of the client’s silo mixer, significantly boosting maximum production capacity. This upgrade enabled the William Tracey Group to process more material in each cycle, increasing overall output.

Reduced Processing Time

Through precision engineering and process optimisation, the production time for processing 100 tonnes of waste was reduced from 8 hours to just 4 hours—halving operational time and improving throughput without compromising quality.
