J.A. Jackson has built a sustainable future with a CDE wash plant investment. The family-run business has been working with us since 2010 when they installed their first wash plant at their 90-acre site in Fulwood, Preston, which was processing between 80-120tph, and over the years was gradually upgraded to a 150tph plant.
Established in 1967, J.A. Jackson is a supplier of building materials, aggregates and ready-mix concrete, as well as providing skip hire and haulage services.
Working out of sites in Preston, Leyland and Lancaster, J.A. Jackson supply quarried and recycled aggregates, but increased demand for their products has boosted the need for more material recovery. The 3 CDE wash plants will see them produce over 10,000 tonnes of washed material weekly.
At the centre of J.A. Jackson’s decision-making is sustainability. In recent years, they have seen increased demand for recycled aggregates as opposed to virgin limestone materials.
To meet increased demands and also to serve the changing market landscape, we designed J.A. Jackson a solution which can process over 200tph of construction & demolition waste, an increase from 120tph with the existing plant, resulting in over 10,000 tonnes being washed through the plant each week.
The new 200tph solution integrates an EvoWash sand wash plant, AquaCycle A600 thickener, and screen, with a further addition of an R4500 primary scalping screen added once the upgraded solution was operational.
The plant is producing six final products (two sands; 0-2mm and 0-4mm, and four aggregates; 10mm, 10-20mm, 20-40mm and an oversized) as well as filter cake. With this new plant, 85% of the feed material is being repurposed in the local construction industry, limiting the amount of waste being sent to landfill.
The J.A. Jackson facility has an abundance of feed material from the local area, much of which comes from the 400 tipper wagons which form part of the Fox Group’s fleet. The material is processed through the wash plant, and the wagons leave with washed sand and aggregates. This process not only diverts material from landfill but also reduces the number of empty transport runs, as waste is washed and graded within 3 minutes.
