From rubbish to recycled
An important factor in valuing recycled metals is purity, so if copper contains a high percentage of contaminants, then its value declines....
Read MoreFrom conception to installation, Gough Engineering are able to work with you through the entire process.
Our aim is to act in our customer’s best interest at all times in order to build and develop long-term relationships built on trust.
Every product conveying system is designed to meet the specific requirements of our customers, solve the challenges our customers face and improve efficiency and productivity in the production line. In order to achieve this, we design complete systems with:
All equipment is quality inspected and test run before delivery and we offer factory acceptance testing and a full mechanical installation service. We provide a superior aftersales support service and parts and maintenance facility.
There can be a range of different equipment combinations to a scheme involving both value adding (such as screening for quality product) as well as transfer equipment using elevators or feeding equipment. Depending on your requirements, Gough Engineering can provide controlled distribution of product within your processes.
It maybe a small scheme is required, combining a hopper and a vibratory feeder as a standalone unit. This solution may also then require product to be classified using one of the Gough Separators to separate by particle size wanted and unwanted products.
This solution can be further integrated by adding a material transfer conveying system (using for example vacuum, aero-mechanical, or where delicate handling and segregated distribution/feeding into the next processes using a bucket elevator into as mixing vessel or packing line.
As you can see from the examples below, Gough Engineering is capable of combining solutions (small or large) using different machinery on different scales utilising multiple long elevator runs in the horizontal and vertical planes, as well as large vibratory sieves (circular or linear) with hopper systems and automatic metal rejection systems to achieve a high control of quality product to the final packing lines – or even road tanker.
Rip & Tip Station Solutions
Removing product contents from small bags (up to 25kg) is aided by a Rip & Tip Station design. With many scheme combinations you can for example, incorporate de-dusting with extraction, additional magnets for steel capture, elevation using vacuum or aero-mechanical means with simple check screens to actual separation / classification machines to achieve your production needs.

Industrial Applications
Rip& Tip Stations with Quality Control & Elevation
If you require combining quality screening with product elevation for a mobile Rip & Tip unit then Gough Engineering can provide this solution to achieve your production rates and integrated product quality assurance.
Reducing manual loading risks with clean and safe elevation can be very successful for optimal production performance and delivery – retaining product quality during distribution in onward feeding operations.
You may need to Rip & Tip small product bags, remove any debris or contaminates with a vibrational check screen and elevate up to a blender as shown on the left (mobile version depicted).

Extraction Connected Hood
Fast Product Elevation
To keep a clean environment, you can use a Rip & Tip Station, with a large quality control vibrational screening unit and the benefit of a built-in extraction/filter unit – shown in the image on the right with a pivoting hood.

Bulk Handling with Quality Control and Elevator Integration
Bulk Handling and the transfer of product into production can be a challenge in order to meet operational performance with safety. Gough Engineering combines Big Bag dischargers with many options including quality screening, metal removal and many types of material transfer systems to meet your requirements.
Bulk handling from big bags using a Gough Big Bag (GBB) discharger with (forklift cruciform or hoist/pendant) with a combined vibratory feeder with additional small bag Rip & Tip station – uniquely designed to suit your building logistics.
