OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW FOR MCKINSTRY’S SKIP HIRE Northern Ireland’s leading Waste Management Company; McKinstry’s Skip Hire, praises their ‘old faithful’ as they upgrade to the bigger and better Slayer XL!
O
ver 20 years ago McKinstry Skip Hire were taking 90% of all the waste collected across Northern Ireland and putting it straight to landfill. Today those figures have virtually been reversed, with over 92% of waste collected being recycled/reused and 6% used for Energy From Waste (EFW) and only 2% being sent on to landfill. A vital component contributing to McKinstry Skip Hire’s impressive recovery process has been the EDGE Slayer X.
Working on the front line for 5 years and processing a large percentage of the 155,000 tonnes of waste received annually by McKinstry’s Skip Hire, the Slayer X has been upgraded by the skip hire company with the recent purchase of an EDGE Slayer XL. McKinstry’s first EDGE Slayer X purchased in 2011 worked effortlessly for five years. Over the five years of operation from the EDGE Slayer, it has been projected that it had processed in an excess of half a million tonne of waste!
RECOVERY PROCESS...
At McKinstry’s, over 90% of the waste is recovered using a manual pick team to attempt to recover commodities to an extremely high standard. The EDGE Slayer X had the ability to process a consistent piece size of 350-400mm which makes the throughput and the manual picking process much easier for the picking team at McKinstry’s MRF site. 4 Call: 02887 740525 Email: info@edgeinnovate.com
The site recovers different grades of bottles HD and PET, different types of metals; ferrous and non-ferrous, along with different papers, fibres and films. McKinstry’s Site Supervisor Aaron Rianey states, “The EDGE Slayer has been very important to us over the past five years. It was known as our old faithful here! It made everything much easier and presented the waste to our manual pickers in a workable form.”
CHOICE...
For McKinstry’s, the EDGE Slayer XL was at the top of the list, due to the exceptional performance of the Slayer X. A key factor for McKinstry’s choosing the Slayer XL was the anticipated performance and reliability that was evident with their previous unit. The EDGE Slayer XL, twin shaft, slow speed shredder provides an additional 20% more throughput than the smaller Slayer X. “We are still going to get our piece size with the Slayer XL, along with far more throughput, which is exactly what we need! I can programme the Slayer XL to work anywhere on site, doing many different aspects and still achieve maximum throughput!” The Slayer XL has been designed with a HMI Control Panel, which provides easy fine tuning for accurate application performance. A simple touch of a button and the EDGE Slayer XL is set-up to process wood waste, green waste or municipal skip waste, which is vital to busy site that accepts such a broad range of waste. The EDGE Slayer chamber houses two, slow speed, high torque
“With the majority of options wired into the PLC on the machine, the screen tells us everything we need to know! The only thing my man has to do in the mornings, is a simple check sheet and then it goes off to work!” Aaron Rainey - McKinstry’s Skip Hire Site Supervisor
shredder shafts. Aaron explains, “One of the main things I like about the Slayer XL is, if something gets into the chamber or something the machine doesn’t want in the chamber, the machine will shut down, it will not shred on and cause a lot of damage!” The intelligent tramp metal cycle found within the Slayers operating system ensures against asset damage and large percentage downtime that can be associated to other shredder types.
With high application flexibility, proven reliability, consistent product piece size, coupled with low maintenance and operating costs; it looks like the decision to purchase a new EDGE Slayer XL was a no brainer for the folks at McKinstry’s Skip Hire.
EXPERIENCE...
After 5 years of operating the EDGE Slayer X, Aaron describes the aftersales customer support from EDGE Innovate; “the back up with the EDGE guys, is second to none. We are delighted with the service and support, we receive from them!” With EDGE Innovate’s design and manufacturing headquarters situated in Northern Ireland, EDGE are in the prime position to offer untouchable access to aftermarket and technical support to McKinstry’s MRF site. Operating and Running costs is something every waste management company monitor, especially for the award winning McKinstry’s Skip Hire. The Slayer XL has relatively low fuel consumption of 25-30 Litres/per hour, compared to the majority of market rivals. The EDGE shredder also has a central auto-lube system which provides reliable protection against friction and wear. It also ensures the machine is attaining enough grease at all times. As well as this, the Slayer Range from EDGE has a reversible fan system to make sure the machine is also breathing. All of which ensure that the EDGE Slayer XL is the lowest maintenance cost shredder on the market!

INTRODUCING THE EDGE FREEFLOW 186 FLIP FLOW SCREEN EDGE Innovate launch the most aggressive flip flow screen on the market.
W
ith the ability to run 10% faster than competing flip flow screens and a mat acceleration of up to 50g, the EDGE 18’X6’ FreeFlow 186 screen provides operators with the ability to process hard screening tasks throughout the year despite the weather conditions.
The EDGE two deck FreeFlow screen ultimately provides two screening operations in one unit. Customers can now process un-prescreened material via the FreeFlow’s robust scalping screen top deck whilst providing a fine screening function of difficult to screen material via the flip flow bottom deck. This allows for large unscreened material to be screened on a flip flow screen. The top deck provides a relief function, which allows for reduced stresses and optimal screening on the aggressive flip flow bottom deck leading to less wear and increased screen media lifespan. The EDGE FreeFlow Screen range provides a highly efficient screening solution for sticky, moist materials with a high percentage of fines and is ideal for the processing of compost, wood, skip waste, trommel fines, construction and demolition waste and incinerator ash.
6 Call: 02887 740525 Email: info@edgeinnovate.com
TOP DECK
The unique 4 level stepped top deck provides users with an aggressive scalping action within a robust design. The screening area has been vastly improved by reducing the dead areas found on the feed shelf and top deck cross members. The flexibility of the EDGE FreeFlow screen is highlighted by its intelligent modular top deck system allowing numerous media types such as 3D panels, punched plate etc. to be quickly and easily installed side by side. Thanks to this screen’s modular design, the top deck media can be quickly and easily replaced as and when required thus reducing downtime.
BOTTOM DECK
The powerful snapping of the bottom deck media generates active “flip-flow” material movement providing high acceleration that disperses particles sufficiently to allow smaller particles the opportunity to reach the screen surface and pass through freely. The combination of high acceleration (up to 50 g’s) and continuous screen flexing helps prevent blinding, clogging and pegging resulting in high a capacity screening process. With a wide range of adjustable throws and speeds, the EDGE FreeFlow bottom deck can be tailored for numerous applications. Various polyurethane media types with different panel thickness, hardness, pattern and apertures are also available.
The EDGE FreeFlow screen has been designed to eliminate the blinding or blockage of the screen media that often occurs with traditional screens when screening wet or sticky material. With increased throughput, high efficiency, adjustable speed and throw and quality end products; the EDGE FreeFlow Screen range is the ideal separation solution for difficult to screen materials.

EDGE Innovate Takes On Vegas!
Members of the EDGE Sales & Marketing Team at Con Expo 2017
T
he EDGE Innovate team travelled the whopping 4,872 miles from their headquarters in County Tyrone; the world renowned home of crushing and screening to the fabulous Las Vegas last week to exhibit at the largest construction exhibition in North America; CONEXPO/CONAGG. Starting from Tuesday 7th March to Saturday 11th March at the Las Vegas Convention Center; EDGE Innovate exhibited their wares at the popular Silver Lot, Booth #5454.
10 Call: 02887 740525 Email: info@edgeinnovate.com
CONEXPO attracted over 128,000 attendees from over 150 countries; all of which came to scan their eye over the newest products in their industries. CONEXPO has become a regular in EDGE Innovate’s tradeshow calendar; with this year’s exhibition being the third time EDGE has exhibited at the popular exhibition since 2010. Spread over 250,000ft², CONEXPO has become the international gathering place every three years for businesses within the construction industries. A total of 4 machines from the EDGE’s Material Handling and Recycling Range were on display at booth S5454. These included the new MC1400 classifier, the EDGE FreeFlow 186 flip flow screen, the TRT622 track trommel and the ever popular TS65 track stacker. Check out the biggest crowd pullers from the EDGE stand;
MC1400
A huge attraction for visitors at the EDGE stand came from the newly released MC1400 Material Classifier along with the new FreeFlow 186 Flip Flow screen. The MC1400 provides operators with the ability to extract impurities from highly contaminated material in just one pass by utilizing controlled air flow as a separation medium. The MC1400 is being offered as the ideal solution for the cleaning of compost and biomass fractions with its ability to separate heavy and mid-weight fractions from lights. The MC1400 will allow operators to separate up to four different fractions as standard; lights (plastic, paper, film) mid-weight (wood) and heavy fractions (aggregate, glass, etc.). Ferrous metal will be extracted via the overband magnet found on the heavy fraction discharge conveyor with the option of attaching an additional magnet to the mid-weight conveyor. With the capability to accept a large piece size of up to 400mm (16”), EDGE Innovate states that the MC1400 is not only ideal for organic recycling and biomass fractions but also extracting valuable commodities from construction and demolition waste.
FreeFlow 186
The EDGE FreeFlow Screen provides customers with a highly efficient screening solution for sticky, moist materials with a high percentage of fines and is ideal for the processing of compost, wood, skip waste, trommel fines, construction and demolition waste and incinerator ash. Designed to eliminate the blinding or blockage of the screen media that often occurs with traditional screens when screening wet or sticky material, the EDGE FreeFlow incorporates a heavy duty screen structure has the capability to generate a huge throw therefore preventing screen blinding or pegging. The FreeFlow screen range allows for two screening operations in one unit with operators being able to process non-prescreened material via the FreeFlow’s robust scalping screen top deck whilst a fine screening function is facilitated via the flip flow bottom deck.
EDGE FreeFlow 186 Flip Flow Screen As reported by many other exhibitors and this year’s exhibition; EDGE Innovate also experienced a tremendously successful show with a large number of enquiries and interest being recorded from their booth.

EDGE TRM622 PROVIDES
Unparalleled performance Spanish recycling giant COGERSA select the EMSA supported EDGE TRM622 Mobile Trommel after seeing excellent results in screening compost with a 10mm cut.
C
OGERSA, (Company for the Management of Solid Waste of Asturias, SAU) a collaboration between the government Principality and several municipality’s in the central area of Asturias on the north coast of Spain was formed with the aim to provide a centralized recycling solution for the region. Since its formation in the 1980’s, COGERSA has provided recycling solutions for a wide diversity of waste. COGERSA is currently composed of 78 Asturian municipalities and the Autonomous Administration (the Government of the Principality). Processing 20,000 tonnes of compost annually, COGERSA required a high performance, reliable trommel to add to their trommel fleet.
PUT TO THE TEST...
When deciding to upgrade their production processes, COGERSA turned to numerous mobile trommel manufacturers. An Intense testing period was carried out by COGERSA with all leading European brands including Doppstadt, Terex Environmental Equipment (TEE), Komptech, Pronar and EDGE Innovate; all of which were put through their paces at one of COGERSA facilities. The task at hand was to process 100 tonnes per hour and to create a split of 10mm down fines material with the oversized material being returned to recycling stream for further processing.
12 Call: 02887 740525 Email: info@edgeinnovate.com
Before completing on-site testing; EDGE Innovate carried out their own analysis and test runs of sample materials from the COGERSA site. From the results, EDGE Innovate were confident of achieving in excess of the desired 100 tonnes per hour stipulated by COGERSA. When put to the test at COGERSAs’ facility in Oviedo, a TRM622 mobile trommel and EDGE Innovate’s Spanish partner Emsamaquinaria were able to achieve an impressive 120 tonnes per hour, creating a 10mm down fines split despite the closest competitor in terms of output, the TEE 620 only being capable of 70 tonnes per hour. COGERSA utilized a number of different criteria such as output performance, running costs and aftersales support to ensure that they selected the correct product that suited their operating conditions and requirements. Using this criterion for selection; EDGE Innovate’s TRM622 mobile trommel and the service from Emsamaquinaria came out on top. With a fuel consumption averaging at just 17 litres per hour combined with an additional throughput of 50 tonnes per hour over their closest competitor ensured that the EDGE TRM622 represented a much better return on investment.
TRM622 ADVANTAGES...
Being 20% heavier than their competitor’s models and weighting in at 32 tonnes (35.2UST) and with an operating length of 27.7m (90’9”); the EDGE TRM622 is one of the largest wheel mounted trommels available on the market.
When considering throughput performance and stockpiling capacity the principals of scale apply. Featuring a 180° radial fines conveyor with the stockpile capacity of 1064m³ (1392yrd³), the end conveyor design of the radial conveyor ensures against contamination of processed material and unnecessary movement of material via wheel loaders. An intelligent load sensing hydraulic system incorporating automatic variable speed feeder with automatic stop/start functionality is combined with impressive stockpiling ability ensuring that operators simply have to concentrate on feeding the trommel with material. Which is good thing; when you consider the EDGE TRM622 houses a 2m X 6.9m (6X22’) long screen drum. A quick drum exchange is facilitated via an innovative hydraulic sliding feeder that enables COGERSA to simply lift out the existing drum to be replaced with the various drum types available to suit different applications.
Watch COGERSA’S impressive TRM622 mobile trommel in action!
When stacking up the design features incorporated in the EDGE TRM622 mobile trommel along with throughput performance, quality of separation and low fuel consumption; COGERSA conceded even though they had traditional operated another European trommel brand that the EDGE TRM622 along with the quality of backup support from Emsaquinaria would provide the winning combination.

Fletchers Metals and Waste Recycling invest in an EDGE TRT622 Trommel Designed for maximum productivity the TRT622 incorporates a heavy duty construction and zero spillage- it’s the perfect machine for FMWR.
F
ounded in 1982 Fletchers Metals and Waste Recycling (FMWR) has grown to become one of the leading waste management and skip hire experts in South Yorkshire and the Derbyshire regions.
The EDGE TRT622 Trommel: The TRT622 Trommel is the largest trommel EDGE manufacture. Featuring a 2.0m x 6.9m drum the TRT622 is a heavy duty machine suited to all applications from C & D waste, to compost and general waste. Steven Lythgoe- Director at FMWR, commented, “Since we took delivery in May 2016 we have been very happy with the performance. The throughput and capacity has been spot on and has reassured us that we made the right decision.” Featuring the widest inlet of any trommel in its class to prevent material bridging or blocking, the feeder also incorporates a full length impact plate to prevent the belt getting punctured and ripped. With an intelligent load sensing hydraulic control system, the trommel drum and feed conveyor are in constant communication with the feeder rate being adjusted accordingly to prevent drum overload. Fuel consumption is reduced via the trommels eco-power saving functionality. The control system detects if there is no load on the drum and will in turn reduce the engine to idle speed, eventually turning the engine off after a designated length of time. Operation can be controlled from an 8 function remote control which starts and stops the machine, along with machine movement (superb manoeuvrability) and slewing the radial fines conveyor.
With a strong emphasis on eco-friendly waste solutions, their Sheffield site incorporates secure storage and treatment facilities where they can manage all types of waste and metals to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standard, helping maximise their re-use, recycling and waste-toenergy capabilities. In an effort to introduce more capacity and efficiency at their Sheffield site, FMWR have recently invested in an EDGE TRT622 Trommel supplied by EDGE’s UK distributor Max Innovate. This decision was made after the company had researched the market and looked at several manufacturers before reaching the decision that the EDGE machine was the most robust, with the best features and the best value for money. Richard Fletcher- MD at FMWR, commented, “We looked at all the leading models on the market and after much research decided that the EDGE Trommel was by far and away the most fuel efficient, this coupled with the unparalleled screen capacity and huge stockpiling capacity it Patrick Donnelly, EDGE Innovate Territory Dealer had to be the best machine for us.” Manager for Ireland and the UK commented,
“The heavy duty design and construction which has been developed in this impressive screening trommel is ideal for applications such as top soil, recycling, composting and is proven in C&D waste. Designed for maximum productivity the TRT622 incorporates heavy duty construction and zero spillage- it’s the perfect machine for FMWR.” Richard, further commented, “We have been very impressed with the performance of the machine and we were pleasantly surprised by some of the smaller design features which we had not previously noticed, including the automatic grease cartridges and access to all the service points.” Other features of the EDGE TRT622 Trommel: • CAT 4.4 130hp electronic engine • Heavy duty oversized conveyor with variable discharge height • Heavy duty trommel barrel • Unique high-throw aggressive screening action • Reversible fan to keep radiator clean

Six years on and Hamilton Waste & Recycling are still gaining the benefits of the EDGE Slayer. maintenance and operational costs, uniform piece sizing, high percentage up-time, ease of LEDGEowmaintenance and service second to none has Hamilton Waste and Recycling still singing the praises of the Slayer Series, six years later. It’s the kind of review that all equipment manufacturers dream of but that’s the opinion of Hamilton Waste and Recycling director, David Hamilton.
18 Call: 02887 740525 Email: info@edgeinnovate.com
Since 2002, Hamilton Waste and Recycling has continually grown year on year. It is now regarded as being one of Scotland’s largest indepentent waste management companies. Based in Edinburgh as well as East and West Lothian, Hamilton Waste and Recycling has operated three transfer and recycling stations for almost ten years. In 2010, this family run business on the outskirts of Edinburgh took the decision to purchase an EDGE slow speed, twin shaft shredder. Before acquiring the shredder, Hamilton Waste and Recycling had been sorting material on the ground before sending on for processing. With the introduction of the Slayer to their waste processing stream, Hamilton’s have been able to reduce the size of the municipal skip waste to a homogenous piece size of 400mm. This enable Hamilton’s to pass shredded material over a screen and on to a 4 bay picking station. A fourth, 15 acre state of the art transfer and recycling facility was added near Smeaton in 2011. Fast forward to present day and Hamilton waste have continued to invest heavily in new material handling and separation technologies with the installation of a new £2 million bespoke separation plant in 2014 on the same site. The new plant incorporates mechanical separation in the form of flip flow screens, a trommel, air separation, water separation and manual up-stream picking. At the front end of this new recycling plant, Hamilton Waste and Recycling have chosen to stay loyal to the trusted EDGE slow speed shredder. In fact; when it came to designing the new plant, David Hamilton states that the “first piece of the jig-saw was the EDGE shredder. The product it produces dictated the type of plant that could handle that product. The EDGE shredder is an integral part of what we do here at Hamilton Waste and Recycling”.
www.edgeinnovate.com 19
Over 100,000 tonnes of municipal skip waste passes through Hamilton Waste and Recycling weighgate each year, all of which is fed through the EDGE shredder. The Slayer’s capacity to consistently produce an end product of no greater than 400mm is vital to Hamilton Waste’s ability to process material cost effectively. It enables the pickers to effectively identify and pick commodities as well as allowing the air and water separation systems to work at the optimum throughput. David illustrates the importance of the EDGE shredder to the day to running of the waste recycling facility; “the EDGE Shredder is integral to our business. It allows us to process material and get it through the plant cost effectively. If it went down for a day or so or if we didn’t have it; it would be a big problem”. Design features found on the Slayer has also made it a firm favourite of Hamilton’s service engineers and operators with the tramp metal detection system being identified as real cost saving feature with non-shreddable fragments being quickly removed. David describes to the aftersales customer support the company has received from EDGE Innovate; “we are delighted with the service and backup which is second to none, with spare parts being very cost effective.
Their engineers are very helpful, their back up is very important to Hamilton Waste and Recycling.”
Non-shreddable item caught by the EDGE Slayer XL with no asset damage.
Talking with David Hamilton, he recalls the decision making process Hamilton Waste and Recycling went through and it was not as simple as achieving the desire throughput at the right piece size. “We researched the operating cost of a high speed shredder in comparison to a slow speed. We found that the high speed grinder suffered from much higher wear when processing unsorted contaminated material along with needing much more fuel. The material we received needed to be pre-sorted so our processing costs would be considerably higher.”
20 Call: 02887 740525 Email: info@edgeinnovate.com
Hamilton’s came to the conclusion that a slow speed was more suited for the processing of their municipal skip waste stream and started to look at numerous shredders. Their search brought them to the EDGE Slayer due it’s robust design, versatility and low running costs in comparison to its competitors. On initial testing the EDGE Slayer was averaging under 20lts per hour of fuel, less than half of its competitors. According to Mr. Hamilton it’s the operating costs where the EDGE Slayer really stands out; “one of things we like about the EDGE Shredder is that there is not much wear or tear oppose to a high speed shredder.
Ferrous metal recovered from MSW waste via the Slayer XL’s overband magnet.
We basically hard face the shredder shafts once a week and it takes us maybe 2 hours on a Saturday morning and the unit is ready to go on a Monday morning as usual. It is easy to maintain and the fuel consumption is very low, surprisingly low. This was one of the major factors when deciding on the purchase. The operating and running costs are very low and we are very happy with this.” With the average fuel consumption as low as 20 litres per hour and a robust design which lends itself to minimum pre-sorting; the EDGE Slayer has drastically reduced Hamilton Waste’s processing cost per tonne. With volatile commodity prices and profit margins continually being challenged; it is vital that businesses are operating at the lowest possible processing cost per tonne and the EDGE Slayer is a vital component in helping Hamilton Waste and Recycling achieve this. With any capital purchase; the higher the uptime of the equipment, the quicker the payback. After six years of operating within Hamilton Waste and Recycling, Mr. Hamilton reports that they are delighted with the reliability of EDGE Slayer. “The percentage uptime is extremely high so we are more than happy with it.”
With high performance, consistent product piece size, high percentage uptime coupled with low maintenance and operating cost; it looks like the EDGE Slayer after 6000 plus operating hours has been the perfect fit for Hamilton Waste and Recycling. EDGE Innovate offer two different sizes of slow speed waste shredders in a number of different chassis formats including; wheel mounted, static and hooklift options. Operators can also choose form direct electric and diesel/hydraulic units.

s a leading manufacturer of conveying solutions with decades of experience and thousands of conveyors A installed throughout the globe, EDGE Innovate are acutely aware of the benefits its stockpile conveyors bring to operators across various applications. Are you aware of the top 6 benefits of owning a stockpile conveyor? We’ve taken time out to provide some insight to the benefits.
1. Health & Safety
Health and safety is the most crucial aspect when it comes down to owning a stockpile conveyor. The benefit of using a stockpile conveyor eliminates the use of loaders when stockpiling materials, therefore reducing moving traffic on the site. Studies have shown that over 40% of waste and recycling site accidents occur due to manoeuvring or operating vehicles within the UK. Along with the environmental benefits, stockpile conveyors can contribute significantly towards the improvement of health and safety issues such as reduced noise, dust and emissions levels.
2. Reduce Large Capital Expenditure
Cash flow is a continuing problem for one in five small business owners. Larger businesses are as likely to encounter cash flow problems, if not more so, than the smallest. On average, wheel loaders demand a high retail price of ÂŁ180,000 ($282,078). A substantial outlay than may hinder a business financing other vital equipment to enable their business to grow. Stockpile conveyors represent a substantial saving alternate to wheel loaders stockpiling material and therefore freeing vital funds to help a business expand.
3. High Price Labour
Stockpile conveyors can diminish high price labour in more than one way on the working site. By eliminating or reducing the dependency of wheel loaders on site, stockpile conveyors can reduce the number of wheel loaders required by a working site. Secondly, conveyors have the ability to operate at a maximum efficiency every hour of operation with minimum supervision, reducing labour costs further.

4. Increased Production and Reduce Cost per Tonne
Conveyors have the ability to operate at a maximum efficiency every hour of operation; therefore the stockpile conveyor can continuously manoeuvre aggregates within the site throughout any preferred time period or day. With short discharge conveyors found on screeners and crushers; sites that traditionally employed wheel loaders to move material, tend to be constantly move material from the screener or crusher, which can only handle a small stockpile, to another larger stockpile, and then onto loading the trucks. Effectively operators handle finished products at least twice. With the introduction of mobile stockpilers, operators can leave crushers and screens running, moving the product just once with the wheel loader straight to the delivery trucks. Ultimately, the introduction of stockpilers in many cases results in the elimination of the double handling of material and therefore cutting operators cost per tonne. With crushers and screeners no longer starved, operators can focus on continuously loading crushers and screeners to feed the stockpile rather than creating the stockpile. In many circumstances this can eliminate expensive overtime needed to meet productivity demands and maintenance resulting from increased running hours.
5. Reduce Maintenance and Running Costs
Employing stockpile conveyors to stockpile material minimises operator’s maintenance costs and production times for working sites compared to utilizing wheel loaders for the same task. Wheel loaders require much more scheduled services to maintain their running efficiency with a greater number of wear parts. Studies have shown that wheel loader maintenance can cost 95% more than conveyors annually. Along with this, fuel consumption can also be reduced compared to using wheel loaders. The EDGE TS Series consumes on average 10 litres of fuel per hour.
6. Quality Material
The sixth benefit of owning a Stockpile Conveyor is the high quality uniformed aggregate. This is vital in the production of many materials such as concrete and asphalt. Heavy equipment such as wheel loaders can damage aggregate such as expanding clay, shale or slate through compacting and crushing.
