ConExpo 2020: CDE unveils Combo X900 wet processing system

United Kingdom-based CDE, which has its United States headquarters in Cleburne, Texas, has unveiled its 500 tons-per-hour (tph) Combo X900 at ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas in mid-March.

The company calls the X900 “the latest in CDE’s range of revolutionary Combo all-in-one wet processing and water management solutions.” With its 500 tph capacity, the new Combo X900 is the largest in the CDE series to date.

“With our new ComboTM X900, we’ve doubled its capacity and created a next-gen solution for materials processors across North America and Latin America,” says Kevin Vallelly, director of engineering at CDE.

The company says its wet processing systems can be customized “to reuse 80 to 100 percent of materials from construction, demolition and excavation waste.” CDE says it has installed some 2,000 wet processing systems globally and has “developed best in class solutions for recycling operations.”

CDE says its systems are “pre-wired, factory built and tested to get [customers] up and running in the shortest time possible.” It also says its AquaCycle technology “ensures up to 95 percent of process water is recycled for immediate re-use in the system.”

Says Vallelly, “Traditional washing systems would typically consume up to 15 times more water than that required for the Combo X900.” He adds, “The Combo X900 enables materials processors to wash more than 500 tph with only 800 gallons per minute, about the same amount of water that would be required to wash a truck.”

Calling it a plug-and-play system, CDE says the Combo X900 can be ready to process material within five days as a standalone plant or as part of a larger system.
