Concrete Reclaimer Screw

Recycling Screw
RCS 6 & 8

AJF recycling screws are available in two sizes. Here we offer a cost-effective yet highly efficient recycling system for small quantities of return concrete.

Compact and economical design

Robust, fully galvanised model with centralised lubrication of the lower worm gear bearing.

Optional bucket wheel for recovering concrete returning from concrete pumps or wheelbarrows

Advantages of the recycling screw

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Space-saving installation

Thanks to its compact design, the system requires only a small footprint and can be positioned flexibly—ideal even for confined spaces.

Reliable operation even in winter

For year-round use, winter-compatible versions are available on request.

Automatic lubrication and optional heating

The integrated central lubrication system is included in the scope of delivery and reliably supplies the upper and lower worm bearings with different amounts of grease. This significantly increases the service life of the system.

Energy efficient

With a low energy requirement of only 11 kW, the system is cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

High flexibility – also for concrete pumps

The recycling screw can be combined with a scoop wheel as an option. The scoop wheel conveys fresh concrete from a feed table embedded in the ground into the screw. Concrete applied close to the ground can be easily integrated into the regular washing process, eliminating the need for rotating parts or bearings in the ground.

Low maintenance and durable

The special arrangement of the screw flights at a fixed distance ensures the formation of a protective material bed, which significantly reduces wear and minimizes maintenance. The hot-dip galvanized trough also guarantees a very long service life.

Efficient in operation

The cleverly designed feed hopper allows loading from different directions – even with one or two truck mixers at the same time. Its geometry provides reliable protection against overfilling. Thanks to the increased discharge height, generous material storage is possible. The separation accuracy remains constant at a maximum of 0.25 mm.

MEASURABLE BENEFITS

Your benefits at a glance

The recycling of fresh concrete affects both precast plants and ready-mix concrete manufacturers. In both cases, excess fresh concrete can be broken down into its components: gravel, sand, and residual concrete water.This process offers your company significant advantages:

Savings on disposal costs

for concrete slurry when using settling tanks

Compliance with legal environmental regulations

through closed-loop recycling

Resource conservation and cost savings

by reusing the washed mixed gravel in concrete production

CO₂ reduction

by eliminating additional transport routes
