Processing Challenges in Waste and Recycling Operations
Municipal solid waste processors, industrial waste handlers, and recycling operations work with some of the most variable and demanding feedstocks in any processing environment. Filter cakes, dry sludge, rubber, plastics, and mixed industrial waste streams are inherently inconsistent, and the equipment handling them must accommodate that variability without sacrificing throughput or reliability.
S. Howes has designed and built process equipment for waste and recycling operations for over 100 years. Our equipment handles size reduction, mixing, conveying, and screening across municipal, industrial, and specialty waste-processing applications, including rewetting, reagent addition, filter cake processing, and dry sludge handling.

Pain Points We Solve
- Filter cake and dry sludge that clogs, bridges, or resists handling with standard equipment
- Inconsistent feedstock sizing causing downstream processing problems
- Material buildup, fouling, and excessive wear from abrasive or sticky waste streams
- Unreliable conveying of variable-density or fibrous waste materials
- Poor separation of recyclable fractions from mixed waste streams
- Size reduction equipment that cannot handle tough, irregular, or contaminated materials
- Inadequate mixing for rewetting, reagent addition, or waste conditioning applications
- Equipment downtime driven by the unpredictable nature of incoming waste feedstocks
Optimize Your Waste and Recycling Processing Line
We help municipal waste processors, industrial waste handlers, and recycling operations achieve consistent processing performance across a wide range of incoming material types and conditions.
S. Howes engineers work directly with plant engineers and operations teams to design systems tailored to:
- Feedstock characteristics including municipal solids, industrial waste, filter cake, dry sludge, rubber, plastics, and specialty waste streams
- Batch or continuous throughput requirements
- Size reduction and particle sizing targets
- Mixing requirements for rewetting, reagent addition, and waste conditioning
- Facility layout and integration with existing waste handling infrastructure
- Wear resistance and maintenance access requirements for abrasive or contaminated materials
Engineered for Waste and Recycling Material Processing
Size Reduction Systems
Break down, size, and condition waste materials before downstream processing or disposal.
Lump breakers, knife cutters, granulators, and power graters reduce filter cake, dry sludge, rubber, plastics, and other waste materials into consistent, manageable sizes for conveying, mixing, or further processing.
Used for filter cake size reduction, rubber and plastic grinding, municipal solid waste sizing, and industrial waste conditioning applications.
Industrial Mixing Equipment
For rewetting, reagent addition, blending, and conditioning of waste and recycled materials.
Ribbon mixers, paddle mixers, and pug mills provide thorough blending of waste streams with water, reagents, binders, or conditioning agents in both batch and continuous configurations.
Used for sludge rewetting, reagent addition in waste treatment, rubber compound mixing, and specialty waste conditioning applications.
Bulk Material Conveying Systems
Reliably transfer waste feedstocks, sized materials, and processed byproducts through the facility.
Screw conveyors, tubular conveyors, U-trough conveyors, and feeders are engineered to handle abrasive, wet, and variable-density waste materials while maintaining consistent feed rates and minimizing material loss.
Applications include filter cake conveying, dry sludge transfer, handling sized waste material, and transferring recycled material throughout processing operations.
Screening and Separating Equipment
For particle classification, contaminant removal, and fraction separation in recycling and waste processing.
Sifters, shakers, and screening systems separate recyclable fractions, remove oversized material, and classify sized waste streams by particle size for downstream processing or disposal.
Used for rubber and plastic particle classification, recycled-material screening, waste-fraction separation, and quality-control steps within recycling processing lines.
