Materials Recovery Facilities operate under huge pressure during the winter peak. Incoming volumes rise, contamination increases, and every piece of equipment is pushed to its limit. Any unplanned stoppage quickly stacks up into missed targets, safety risks and costly emergency repairs.
Kingfisher helps MRF operators and engineering teams keep plants running when it matters most and complete essential upgrades during planned shutdowns after Christmas. Our engineers work across the full waste stream and understand where wear occurs, why failures happen and how to prevent them.
Protecting critical MRF equipment
Glass, plastics, metals and aggregates all cause aggressive abrasion and impact wear. When these materials pass through hoppers, transfer chutes, vibro feeders, conveying pipework and ducting, deterioration is continuous. Unprotected or under-specified equipment with typical wear points leads to spillage, unplanned cleaning, blocked chutes, product build-up, dust and repeated maintenance.
Longer service life with engineered wear protection – Using proven ceramic, metallic and polymer wear protection systems, Kingfisher protects plant items from the abrasive effects. These systems significantly extend service life and reduce the need for mid-season interventions.
Full turnkey capability – During your winter shutdown, every hour counts. Kingfisher Industrial’s turnkey approach combines design, manufacture, and on-site installation to keep your project on schedule. Our engineered wear protection systems ensure your plant restarts on time and delivers longer-lasting equipment performance. This allows you to deal with a single supplier, maintain control of quality, and reduce the risk of a stretched supply chain.
Increase plant availability – Planned shutdowns, minimal disruption – Our focus is simple: help you maintain output when you are busiest and plan improvements when you have the downtime to make them. By upgrading worn hoppers, transfer chutes, vibro-feeders, and conveying pipework during scheduled shutdowns, operators avoid the hidden cost of repeat repairs and emergency interventions.
Peak season is here, and the pressure on MRFs will keep rising. Now is the time to book your engineering survey and line up essential upgrades for 2026.
Book a site survey to assess wear across your MRF and schedule upgrade work for your post-Christmas shutdown. For more information or to arrange a site visit, contact the Kingfisher team on 01562 543108 or email enquiries@kingfisher-industrial.com.
