In February 2013 Striker Crushing & Screening Malaysia was invited by Worldwide Holdings Berhad to a meeting to discuss how to process construction and demolition (C&D) waste material in the state of Selangor. Over the past 5-10 years the practise of illegal dumping of construction and demolition waste had grown dramatically and the state government could see they needed to act quickly to combat the growing problem.
After many months of research and discussion between Striker and WHB it was decided that the C&D waste material could effectively be processed using a picking station with Striker Conveyor system and over belt magnet, Striker JQ1165 jaw crusher and a Striker SC252 screen. The methodology was to feed the raw material onto the conveyor where there would be 6 personnel picking off the conveyor material such as wood, plastic, paper and general waste materials with the magnet removing any steel. The remaining product would then enter the Striker JQ1165 jaw crusher and be crushed down to a -100mm material which is then sent to the Striker SC252 screen to be split into 3 sized products that can then be reused in the construction industry for various applications.
The recycling plant was officially opened earlier this year by the Selangor Government and promoted as a 1st class example of recycling in Malaysia that other state governments can follow around the country.
