Hublet recycle les déblais avec Save Sand

introduction

Hublet, a Belgian company specializing in the recycling of construction, demolition and road waste, is also a key player in sustainable development and recycling in Wallonia.

With its two processing centers in Floreffe and Hour, Hublet continually invests in staff training and R&D to stay at the forefront of the sector.

In 2023, Hublet has embarked on an ambitious project to install a materials recovery unit at its Floreffe site.

This initiative aims to produce high-quality, recycled materials on site, reinforcing their commitment to the circular economy

SAVE SAND BY MS PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The Save Sand by MS plant on the Floreffe site has been designed to meet several strategic objectives:

Recovery of materials: The unit is designed to process over 200,000 tonnes/year of materials previously considered unusable.
Production of high-quality sand: The aim is to produce in-line recomposed sand, suitable for the needs of new construction.
Production of various aggregates: 4-8 mm, 8-16 mm, 16-20 mm and > 20 mm
Intensive operation: The plant is designed to operate at a maximum feed rate of 180 t/h, 10 hours a day, 220 days a year, guaranteeing continuous production.

INSTALLATION DETAILS

The Save Sand by MS system stands out for its technical innovations:

Triforce: This 3-in-1 equipment provides settling, material attrition, initial scalping at 20 mm, and float removal. This is a compact solution designed and produced by MS.
Sand reclamation: Possibility of in-line recomposition of customized sand (adjustable fineness module). Surplus fine sand can be reincorporated during coarse sand reclamation campaigns.
Water treatment station: In addition to recycling process water in a closed circuit, our water treatment station automatically controls and adjusts flocculation and coagulation.
Filter presses: A Plug & Play solution that’s easy to transport, our filter presses can be adapted to different types of sludge, dewatering them into patties and facilitating their evacuation.

RESULTS AND IMPACT

The Save Sand by MS plant, commissioned in mid-2024, operates daily at the Floreffe site, producing several hundred tonnes of high-quality aggregates every day. These materials, ready for use, are intended for resale and construction, in a variety of grain sizes.

Alexandre Nonet, Project Manager, emphasizes the speed and efficiency of the project:

“It took us less than a year to study the dossier and carry out the project. We signed the contract at the beginning of July 2023, and the plant started operating at the beginning of June 2024. […] It’s a success thanks to all the departments at Nonet and Hublet, but also to MS, our supplier, who also did their utmost to get us where we are!”
