CAGE SCREENING PLATE WORKS PROJECT FOR ROCKINGHAM ENERGY EfW PLANT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Enhancing Ash Handling in Modern Waste-to-Energy Plants

The Cage Screening Plate Works Project for the Rockingham Energy EfW (Energy-from-Waste) Plant highlights KDT Industry’s ability to deliver advanced ash screening systems that improve efficiency, durability, and sustainability. Cage screening plates are essential components in EfW facilities, as they separate metals and aggregates from bottom ash, supporting resource recovery and environmental compliance.

KDT Industry designed, fabricated, and installed cage screening plate systems, silos, feeding hoppers, and auxiliary steel structures, enabling the Rockingham facility to achieve world-class performance in ash management.

Challenges and Solutions

The Cage Screening Plate Works Project presented several challenges:

1. Highly Abrasive Ash – Required special materials and coatings to extend component life.
2. Continuous 24/7 Operations – Systems had to perform reliably under nonstop use.
3. Dust and Heat Exposure – Demanded robust protective coatings and environmental safeguards.
4. Integration with Existing Plant Infrastructure – Screening plates had to be installed seamlessly without disrupting operations.

KDT Industry’s Solutions:

• Fabricated plates using abrasion-resistant alloys with protective coatings.
• Applied modular prefabrication techniques for faster installation.
• Integrated dust suppression systems ensuring safer, cleaner operations.
• Coordinated closely with plant engineers for smooth integration with existing equipment.

These measures allowed Rockingham to operate at peak performance while meeting environmental standards.
