Jack Moody Limited Strengthen Sustainable Future With New Terex Finlay Delivery

Jack Moody Limited has reinforced its industry-leading position within the waste recycling sector with further investment in state-of-the-art plant from Finlay Plant Central.

 

The company’s inert recycling business has expanded its extensive fleet of machinery with the purchase of two Terex Finlay 770 Trak Trommels.

 

Jack Moody Limited’s latest purchase takes the total number of Terex Finlay Trommels supplied by Finlay Plant Central – part of the Finlay Group of companies - to five.

 

Chosen for their flexibility, performance, capability and accuracy in the separation and screening process, the new 770s are being used by Jack Moody Limited in the production of high-quality soil and peat free compost.

 

The 770 Trak model offers maximum on-site mobility incorporating a Twin Track undercarriage, which can be controlled with a hand held radio control. The machines are fully self contained with all functions hydraulically controlled, allowing them to be ready for work or transport within minutes.

 

This mobility allows the machinery to operate between Jack Moody Limited’s sites, including their 55 acre headquarters in Cannock - designated as a ‘best practice site’ by WRAP - and satellite centres near Stafford and Telford.

 

Each year, around a quarter of a million tonnes of biodegradable green and food waste - collected from more than one and a half million homes in the Midlands - is diverted from landfill, as a result of the company’s operations.

 

Jack Moody Limited uses the latest techniques and stringent quality control procedures to recycle this waste into various grades of compost, soils and aggregates, to meet a variety of clients’ needs.

 

This includes topsoil to BS 3882 and NHBC standards for housebuilders, sports pitches, land reclamation and general landscaping. A complementary range of construction aggregates such as MOT Type 1, 6F2 and single size materials are also produced for construction projects.

 

The products also service the needs of Jack Moody Limited’s own established landscaping division – which for more than 40 years has specialised in the construction and maintenance of living landscapes. High-grade compost produced under Jack Moody Limited’s Care™ brand, is marketed through their own retail outlet, Hollybush Garden Centre - located at the Cannock site - and their cash and carry nursery company.  The bagged product is also sold through local authority civic amenity sites throughout the West Midlands.

 

Recently, Jack Moody Limited has moved into new markets with the production of natural, environmentally-friendly fuels in the form of pellets and chips, which are 100 per cent wood and 100 per cent recycled.  A Terex Finlay 770, supplied by Finlay Plant Central in 2006, is pre-screening material as part of the manufacturing process. 

 

As well as placing strong emphasis on quality, excellence and innovation, Jack Moody Limited also undertakes an educational role in the industry. It works closely with local authorities in the Midlands to deliver a range of educational initiatives – involving schools and communities across the region – that illustrate the benefits of sustainable waste management.

 

Key to maintaining their industry-leading position has been the specification of high performance plant and machinery.

 

Robert Moody, managing director of Jack Moody Limited, said: “Over the years we have tried many types of trommels, but for simplicity of use and the delivery of a good product, we use Terex Finlay’s machines.

 

“Our whole business is based on creating quality products and this machinery – coupled with the service and support we receive from Finlay Plant Central – helps us to achieve that.  

 

“One is specified with a swivel fines conveyor to maximise stockpiling capacity. It is producing a minus 10mm top soil and a clean recycled 40mm drainage stone.

 

“There can be difficulty screening smaller sizes, but the length of the 770’s trommel barrel makes the process more accurate, delivering clean aggregate without fines.

 

“The other new 770 is producing high-grade compost, up to a 10mm size and the level of output is excellent.”

 

Neil Bailey, sales engineer at Finlay Plant Central, has worked closely with Robert Moody to bring the machinery on site.

 

Neil said: “Over the years we have introduced a range of machinery to support operations at Jack Moody Limited.

 

1. “The company is constantly bringing new ideas to the fore and the machinery we provide is able to offer the necessary performance and capability to meet their needs.”
