Independent Recycling Solutions

Control the process. Recover the margin.

How we help

Start where you are

One machine, an existing plant or a complete processing line. Pick the situation closest to yours.

Recovery or quality isn’t where it should be

MHP finds what is holding back recovery, product quality or uptime, then turns the evidence into a prioritised improvement plan.

Start a process review
General arrangement plan drawing of a non-ferrous recovery line with equipment schedule

Planning a new line or upgrade

Flow sheets and digital layouts show the line before any commitment, with equipment matched to your material and budget.

Plan a new line

Installation, dismantling and plant repairs

Installation, dismantling and on-site plant repairs, delivered with MHP’s engineering partners across the UK.

Arrange site works

Equipment sourcing and wear parts

New and refurbished equipment, spare parts and wear parts, sourced to suit the material and the line.

Source equipment or parts

No finished brief needed. Start with the problem or the opportunity.

Process Design Study3phased process packages

Mixed-metals plant development

Challenge
A UK recycler handling Zorba, meters, gas valves, compressors and e-waste needed better liberation and cleaner, higher-value products.
What MHP did
MHP assessed the site and material mix, then designed a manufacturer-independent route in three packages that can be funded separately.
Outcome
A phased, priced basis for deciding what to build, in what order and how far to go.

Process Solution Study500 tof legacy sub-20 mm fines assessed

Legacy fines value recovery

Challenge
A recycler had been offered a disposal outlet for stockpiled fines but suspected metal value would leave site with it.
What MHP did
MHP ran a small feasibility trial, found missed fine ferrous was the strongest opportunity, and designed a mobile two-phase route.
Outcome
A low-capital first phase that recovers known value and builds the evidence before any further spend.

Operational Review6prioritised corrective workstreams

Drying drum line audit

Challenge
A rotary drying line for mixed non-ferrous metals was running well below its expected throughput.
What MHP did
MHP audited the whole line, from infeed and drum to heating, extraction, screening and dust discharge.
Outcome
Interacting faults separated into a clear, prioritised order of work instead of one-off fixes.

How a project runs

Material and output first. Equipment last.

Six stages from first conversation to a line running well.

  1. 01

    Define

    Understand the material, the target output and the commercial goal.

  2. 02

    Design

    Process flow, mass balance and layout options.

  3. 03

    Specify

    Functional requirements first, equipment brands second.

  4. 04

    Source/Procure

    Compare new and refurbished options. Arrange supply where agreed.

  5. 05

    Integrate

    Coordinate fabrication, installation and specialist partners.

  6. 06

    Commission & Optimise

    Bring the line into operation and tune its performance.
