𝗛𝗢𝗧 𝗢𝗙𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦: 𝗖𝗗𝗘 𝘂𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 CDE, a leader in the design and engineering of sand and aggregate wet processing solutions for the waste recycling and natural minerals processing sectors, has unveiled its new ProPress high-performance filter press at Hillhead, adding to its state-of-the-art water management and recycling systems. Developed to meet the evolving needs of the construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling, quarrying, and mining sectors, the ProPress integrates the latest technological advancements to deliver exceptional operational efficiency and maximum water recovery. CDE Group’s ProPress, which features patent-pending technology, benefits from a flexible design and variable throughput that can be scaled to fit the processing volume of any operation. Unlike traditional filter presses, the system is dual feed, meaning sludge is fed from both sides of the ProPress for improved efficiency and faster cycle times. Optimised sludge feed pressure also allows for faster dewatering to increase overall throughput. This is further supported by an overhead beam design that ensures reliability by reducing stress on the unit and improving its durability.

MARCON Fit-Out is marking 20 years in business with the announcement that it has created 20 new jobs over the last two years in support of its sustainable growth plan. The Antrim-baed company was founded by Mark O’Connor and Mark McElroy in 2004 after they noticed a gap in the UK & Ireland marketplace to service the interior fit-out market. Initial growth led to the opening of a specialist joinery workshop in 2006 which has since grown into a standalone manufacturing space adjacent to Marcon Fit-Out's Antrim headquarters. A second office was opened in Leeds in 2021 to support the increasing business in England and Scotland.

Modern vans are not only practical little workhorses, but they are also very well-equipped and as much fun to drive as a car. The perfect example of this is the new Renault Group Kangoo which shares a chassis with the Megane, a car that is available as a very potent hot-hatch. The Kangoo is a great-looking van and rammed with kit inside, not like the vans of old that were sparsely equipped. Like all vans, it doesn’t have a rear-view mirror, however Renault has come up with the clever idea of fitting an optional seven-inch screen where the rear-view mirror would fit, which receives images from a camera fitted to a shark fin on the roof, above the rear doors. This is only one of the innovative features to this baby!
