en.Wedoany.com Reported - CDE will return to the Hillhead quarrying exhibition in the UK, showcasing its ProPress filter press and highlighting new applications for clay in the circular economy.
The ProPress filter press is specifically designed for material producers, featuring proven experience, efficient operation, and innovative design, with its process validated through repeated practice and market verification. William Melanophy, Head of Solutions at CDE, stated that the Hillhead exhibition is their flagship event, and the company is very much looking forward to showcasing the latest wet processing innovations for the sand and aggregates and waste recycling industries. Since its launch at the same exhibition two years ago, the ProPress has been installed in a wide range of applications globally, accumulating 80,000 hours of operation, covering recycling projects in Australia, contaminated waste treatment in Europe, and natural sand and gravel processing in the UK.
CDE notes that the ProPress saves space on urban sites and improves safety by eliminating settling ponds. Regarding the use of filter cake, beyond traditional landfill cover and pipe bedding, clay can also be utilized in a wider range of high-value applications to support the circular economy. CDE is committed to developing technologies to create more valuable applications for clay, transforming its perception as a waste by-product.
The global cement industry is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are seen as the most scalable method for reducing clinker content and carbon emissions. Industry reports indicate that calcined clay has become one of the fastest-growing SCM categories, driven by the construction industry's shift towards low-carbon mixes. CDE's solution does not involve mining new clay but rather recovers clay from materials already being excavated, transported, and processed daily, including topsoil, construction and demolition waste and excavation spoil, dredged materials, and tunnel spoil.
After recovery and processing through washing technology, the clay can achieve multiple high-value applications in construction, earthworks, and cement sectors, such as cohesive fill materials for infrastructure projects, stabilizing components for road and utility construction, and impermeable barriers for ponds and landfills. Con Gallagher, Head of Business Development for CDE UK and Ireland, stated that 73% of customers in the UK and Irish markets are repeat buyers, demonstrating the quality of the solutions and the round-the-clock support provided by the CustomCare team. Some customers have chosen to install the ProPress to replace products from previous suppliers, indicating that years of research and development have gained market recognition.
The Hillhead exhibition will take place from June 23 to 25, with the CDE team located at stand A11 in the upper exhibition area.
