In-Vessel Composting (IVC) Plant Roof Lift

	Solution Composting plants are performing an integral part of each country’s infrastructure to reduce waste and maximise recycling. An In-Vessel Composting (IVC) Plant processes biodegradable household and commercial material to produce a quality compost product for use in agriculture, landscaping, top dressing and by the public. It diverts waste from landfill and helps reduce the release of methane - a powerful greenhouse gas impacting climate change. The IVC is fully compliant with the Animal By-Products Regulations (ABPR) for the processing of food inclusive material. In order to increase the efficiency of In-Vessel Composting (IVC) plant Power Jacks provided a screw jack system to lift and lower the roof of a composting vessel. This allows access for the loading shovels when opened, and when closed it provides a small void space above the material to allow for better control over the process. Providing the linear motion for each roof are two individually motorised screw jack systems, synchronised electronically to operate in unison. The jacking system raise and lower the roof via a simple push button operation and can lift the roof over its complete two metre stroke in less than 1 minute. The screw jacks used in the systems are Power Jacks classic E-Series single face screw jack, that is popular choice for customers around the world designing jacking systems due to its performance, robustness and reliability.
