Zanker Recycling's concrete plant was one of the first in the nation to convert concrete debris into aggregate products suitable for multiple uses such as foundations and road construction. This video shows how the concrete plant operates and how concrete is recycled.
About our concrete recycling plant:
Zanker Recycling’s concrete plant was one of the first in the nation to convert concrete debris into aggregate products suitable for foundations and road construction.
The concrete recycling process begins with incoming clean concrete and reinforced concrete. Once the materials are unloaded at the site, non-acceptable materials are hand sorted out and recycled or disposed of.
Cleaned concrete is then loaded into the primary crusher where it is crushed. After the primary crusher, the material passes under a belt magnet where steel is removed before moving to a secondary crusher that further reduces the particle size. The material is then screened to remove oversized pieces which are re-circulated back through the crushing circuit. During the entire process, employees and machinery remove non-aggregate materials that would compromise the value of the product.
Products produced from the recycled concrete includes a 3/4″ class II base rock, utility sand, 3/8″ pea gravel and 3/4″ drain rock. These materials are sold to contractors and the general public and are available for delivery.
