Why should you buy from Addfield? That’s a completely reasonable question, isn’t it? And one that we will always tell you is the right choice for you to make. ‘Buy an Addfield, we have been trusted for over 35 years and our machines speak for themselves,’ of course we are going to tell you that it’s our job. However, we don’t just want you to take our word for it we follow a very low-pressure sales approach here. We like to give you the space to choose the right machine for you, confident in the quality of our machines to help you make the right decision.

One of the most important elements of any purchasing decision is researching the market and discovering the information that’s important to you.

We will always encourage you to complete your own research in all of your available options when looking to invest in a new incinerator or cremator. We do this for two reasons the first is because we want to make sure that you understand what you are getting when you choose Addfield over anyone else. The second is that we want you to be satisfied that you can be happy in the knowledge that you have chosen the right machine for the job.

If you carry out a search for similar companies to Addfield, you will quickly find several manufacturers claiming many things for their machines. However, you will also notice one key difference that sets our machines apart and that is the quality of construction.

Not all machines are built equally as you will quickly learn, they are different shapes, sizes, and colours but one of the biggest differences that you will find often lies beneath the external shell and in fact makes up the heart of any machine so, let us just cover what we believe could be the biggest difference for you to consider and compare the refractory.

The refractory chamber is one of the most important elements of any machine. It is where you load and burn your waste. An effective and insulated refractory can save you thousands of pounds each year in fuel alone.

We are one of the only manufacturers of incinerators and pet cremators to use brick-based multi-layered refractories. In fact, this is what you will find in over 99% of the machines we manufacture. And this is one of the main reasons you can often find our machines in operation for over 20 years whilst competitor products can need replacing much, much sooner.

You will find refractories constructed in one of two ways, Brick or Concrete.

We choose brick, why? Simple, because it’s the best way to do it.

You will find that most of our competitors choose a concrete refractory and the main reason is generally that, it is easier and cheaper to build.

A brick refractory is immensely labour intensive and sadly as traditional industries such as the potteries and steel production have decreased. Colleges have stopped teaching the core skills to enable people to produce these.

So, at Addfield we have addressed this and we train apprentices ourselves. It is very much a specialist skill and our refractory masons are some of the best in the country.

Ask yourself this question what is easier, pouring concrete into a mold or installing three separate layers of refractory?

We occasionally provide concrete refractories. However, these are only on our smallest mobile machines to fit a very specific requirement. All machines that are built to handle loads of 150kg and greater will always be bricked.

What are the long-term benefits of Brick over Concrete?

Well for one it is vastly longer-lasting. Every refractory will go through years of daily usage. This means that every day there will be expansion and retraction of the lining as it heats up and cools down.

The concrete refractory will be held in place with dozens of small steel anchors spaced throughout the case holding the refractory in place with the steel shell. Over time this expansion and retraction will cause cracks, some hairline, and some larger. These cracks will provide access for the energy and heat to escape from the chamber, into the anchor and then into the steel body of the machine. These make the machine increasingly hot during operation. This is why you will often find ‘Danger Hot’ on a concrete refractory machine but not on ours.

Another risk caused by constant expansion and retraction of the refractory is the effect on the integrity of the steel anchors themselves. The steel and refractory lining both expand at different rates. When a crack appears in the concrete (which it will) the heat energy will be conducted through the steel anchor to your steel. If you think this machine will achieve temperatures in excess of 900°C, is conducting energy to the outside steel, do you think this is good for the longevity of the machine?

So why do we use brick?

The bricks we use are great for handling thermal shock, they allow expansion between the joints, are incredibly easy to maintain, for example, if a brick does ever fail you can replace a brick with minimal downtime and often be back up and running on the same day. If concrete fails you need to cut out the anchors, install shuttering and mix concrete and allow the customer to use their fuel for 12 hours to dry out the machine, then if it cracks and breaks again, it’s your fault, as you never dried the concrete properly. We have seen this happen with concrete refractories so many times.

Beyond the technical aspects, what does this really mean to you?

· You won’t be having to reinvest another £40+K in 4 years’ time.

· You’ll be using around 40 litres less fuel for every incineration/cremation cycle. Completing just three of these a week, that’s 6240 litres that could be a saving of around £3,120.00 every year.

At Addfield we aim to be able to answer all of the key questions that you may have and also make you aware of a number of key questions you need to be considering when selecting your machine.

Although our Refractories are the best in the industry they are not the only element that you will find makes our construction superior. Consider the following:

Steel thickness – Addfield uses 8-10mm, where most other manufacturers choose 4-5mm.

What do you think that would mean to you in terms of longevity?

Refractory Thickness – Addfield: 180-220mm

Consider what your new machine will weigh. A triple-layered refractory and thick steel shell is heavy and delivers a more robust solution. If you are comparing an Addfield machine to a similar-sized machine yet ours is twice as heavy, that’s something you really should ask why about.

Caution Hot Signs – Not required on an Addfield

Does the machine require a ‘Caution Hot’ sign? Ours don’t, if the machines are radiating a lot of heat, you are going to have to replace that by having the burners on for longer. What is the impact for fuel economy?

How durable is the paint system on a machine with hot surfaces, vs a paint system designed for modern vehicles?

More importantly, what are the health and safety implications?

Numbers Of Refractory Layers – Three layers are standard on Addfield machines

If you have 800°C heat in the chamber, what happens if a hot face insulation problem occurs and that heat gets behind that insulation layer?

800°C on directly painted steel (or a 20mm insulation board) vs heat on another two layers of insulation. If you use thin steel for that casing what kind of shape is it going to be in?

Steel Anchors – Not required on Addfield Brick refractories

This is an area you won’t know about. So the above illustration is a good example. Anchors hold concrete in place.

When concrete heats and steel heats up together. Which one is going to get hot first? When materials heat up they expand. If the steel is heating up quicker this will create a hole inside loosening its grip. What happens to steel when you constantly heat it and cool it? It becomes brittle and when brittle it cannot hold the concrete in place. What happens when it lets go?

Are you going to choose a costly repair or just throw it away and choose a brick refractory?

Hot Hearth Primary Chambers – Available on our Medical and Pet Cremation ranges

All human crematoriums use a hot hearth system. What do you think are the implications for speed, your throughput and ultimately earning potential of the business from using this approach?

Datalogging – Included as standard on Addfield Incinerators

Every two hours you are going to have to record burn temperatures in the secondary chamber as part of the permit for 10% of burners. (At least for APHA in the UK you do)

Our machines do it automatically other options are going to cause you a lot more labour.

When it comes to price what we quote is the price of our machines, its the price you will pay. Other manufacturers may be able to offer you large discounts that bring their final price lower, after artificially inflating their price. We build our machines by hand ourselves, investing in our workforce, and we select only the best quality materials which, gives you a fantastic finished machine at a fair price. If you ask for a large discount and get one what does that actually say about the machine you are investing in for potentially more than 20 years of usage.

For over 35 years now we have stood by our motto of being ‘Simply Built Better’, if you want to learn more about how we build our machines you are welcome to join the hundreds of visitors that have traveled from the furthest corners of the world and visit our factory to see first-hand why we are number one. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask us we are here to help.

During the past year alone we have supplied dozens of machines to be installed in countries across all continents. In most instances, the final stage of the project is when an engineer flies out from the UK to complete the installation and deliver training to the new users. As the airports closed, the docks stayed open and we continued to ship essential medical incinerators worldwide to help combat the crisis caused by the Coronavirus. As the machines began to arrive so did the need to commission them. But how without a trained engineer available? This became a problem desperate to be solved.

The solution was simple and resulted in http://www.addfieldinternational.com an online learning platform launching with a detailed program for commissioning and operating the MP range of medical incinerators.

“When the travel restrictions first took hold, we knew we had to act fast. As the demand for medical incinerators grew we had to ask ourselves how can we best support our customers anytime and anywhere, without being affected by travel restrictions?

Several of our team had completed various online courses in the past as part of their personal development and proposed we make our own. Putting together a team from across the company each with their own expertise, in just a couple of weeks we were able to launch it just in time for the arrival of several of our machines in Cambodia.” Ian Gilbert, Marketing Manager.

In recent years ‘Online training courses’ have taken the world by storm. Giving the ability for anyone to learn from the experts in virtually any subject. And although it is often best to have a qualified and experienced engineer on hand when installing an incinerator. Through the power of the internet, customers are able to put their new equipment straight to work helping to reduce the spread of the Coronavirus through safe disposal of contaminated waste.

Launching our online platform this June, just in time to support the installation and commissioning of several medical incinerators being setup in Cambodia for a leading international aid agency. The first course combines more than 23 video lessons combined with essential documents and guides covering everything from positioning the machine and connecting it all together through to the first operation and basic maintenance essentials.

To be successful in business it’s essential to view new challenges, as opportunities to innovate and the Coronavirus has been no different. Throughout the past three months, Addfield has implemented dozens of fresh approaches to working locally and internationally to ensure that essential medical equipment has been able to continue to ship worldwide. As orders for essential medical machines continue to arrive this fresh approach to commissioning has already proven a vital resource.

Officially Cambodia appears to be succeeding in its battle according to current data however were the coronavirus to take a hold in the country the need for reliable facilities, sanitation and waste management would be critical to their ability to combat the situation.

This lack of facilities is being addressed through a joint project between the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and World Health Organisation (WHO) working with UK based Addfield Environmental Systems Ltd alongside German based Fleischacker.

The program aimed at saving lives through improving the infrastructure across many hospitals across Cambodia is focussing on providing modern health care facilities, water sanitation and waste management. The locations that these machines are going to are undergoing great levels of regeneration as part of these greater projects.

Addfield have been selected to support the program through the provision of 8 MP100 Medical waste incinerators. Alongside providing full support for the installation and commissioning remotely and ongoing advice on the appropriate ways to develop and maintain waste management facilities.

“Medical waste is often overlooked when considering hospital facilities. We know from experience it is essential for a safe environment. It covers a massive spectrum of waste from gloves and face masks through to needles and syringes and bio-organic matter. Each piece of waste could potentially spread diseases if it is not taken care of properly. We have supplied machines to Cambodia in the past and have seen what a difference one of our machines can make for years to come.

It is a pleasure to be able to provide solutions that we know will deliver measurable improvements. For the people working at the hospitals and working with the machines daily through to the local community that won’t be subjected to hazardous waste, discarded needles and medical waste. We are all really looking forward to seeing these machines in operation.” Derek Carr, Operations Director Addfield Environmental Systems

Addfield has worked in partnerships with Fleischacker, who, in addition to having their head offices in Germany also operate additional offices throughout Asia, which has given them an unmistakable insight into the region and grassroots requirements.

Fleischaker chose to work with Addfield and specifically selected the MP100 machines based heavily upon the reputation that they have earned during the past ten years of working with international aid agencies, and the consistency and reliability of their incinerators. Having reviewed previous missions they found the machines to be easy to use and were the most suitable for their needs as they have been designed specifically to be used for all types of medical waste compared to many more general machines that they have been offered in the past from alternative providers.

As Addfield has already installed medical waste solutions in Cambodia they have seen for themselves how waste has previously been handled. At hospitals and health centres without appropriate facilities or resources, it was not uncommon to see medical waste mixed with general municipal waste, burned in open fire pits, and often spread on land. The impact that a dedicated facility can provide is genuinely remarkable.

Currently only a very small percentage of hospitals across Cambodia are capable of disposing of their waste securely through either on-site incineration or having access to a collection service to remove the segmented waste to a specialist thermal treatment plant.

The machines left Addfields facility in Staffordshire, England in late April and will be arriving in Cambodia in late May ready for installation and commissioning.

They are going to be installed in 8 hospitals including, Pursat Province Referral Hospital (PRH), Kampong Chhnang Province Referral Hospital (PRH), Kampong Cham Province Referral Hospital (PRH), Kampong Thom Province Referral Hospital (PRH), Baray Santouk Referral Hospital (RH), Kampong Speu Province Referral Hospital (PRH), Kep Province Referral Hospital (PRH), Oddor Meanchey Province Referral Hospital (PRH).

Following years of working with international aid agencies we are very proud to have been formally recognised as a key supplier for managing the disposal of medical waste with medical incinerators by MSF (Medecin Sans Frontiere).

Following intensive screening and testing our range of medical waste, incinerators are joining the ranks at the top of the approved suppliers’ list after comparing their quality, performance, support, distribution network and international reach with other manufacturers.

“For many years we have proudly supported aid agencies like the UNOPS, MSF, and Unicef with notable recent projects in Bangladesh, Sierra Leone, Yemen, and most recently Tajikistan. We have always aimed to deliver machines that will live on beyond the initial lifespan of the projects they are often installed in. Ensuring that our machines are capable of supporting the communities for decades rather than just the short term. We are honoured to have been recognised as a trusted supplier and understand the value that this recognition will have to future customers.” Derek Carr, Operations Director

The importance of such recognition is vital in such an unprecedented time, as the management of hazardous waste can make a dramatic difference in protecting communities from viral infection. In most developed regions benefitting from established medical facilities, this will not prove to cause an insurmountable problem. As their health care systems redirect to focus on the most important tasks at hand directing waste generated directly to their existing treatment systems.

However, for countries with a less established means of waste management, this additional pressure could increase the spread of the disease. Increasing risks and stretching out the time required for the infection rate to reduce. It is not uncommon in less developed or prepared regions for medical waste to be disposed of on common ground or burned in open fire pits, both approaches run the very high risks of spreading the disease rather than containing it.

It is globally recognised that the safest way of neutralising and destroying hazardous and dangerous medical waste is through appropriate incineration. Achieving temperatures in excess of 850°C completely removes the risks as any viral or bacterial agents are completely destroyed.

Having previously supported projects dealing with Ebola, Zika, Measles, and HIV in many remote locations. We are sure that the prolonged impact of the Coronavirus will carry on long after it is still making headlines. And we hope that we will be able to continue to help prevent future outbreaks.

As the final stages of the project are formalised we are beginning to gather our team in preparation for the build of an impressive multi-million-pound clinical waste-to-energy facility for their customer in Kuwait. Construction of this mammoth project will begin in February 2020 at our headquarters in the heart of in Staffordshire before being completed on-site in Kuwait later in the year.

The largest Waste Recycling operator in Kuwait is expanding its operation with the addition of a brand new specifically designed facility developed exclusively for the safe destruction of clinical waste. Designed to process up to 1000kg of material per hour through a fully automated stepped hearth incinerator.

The customer selected Addfield after tirelessly reviewing other manufacturers from England, France, Germany, and the USA before choosing to work with us due to our established reputation in this arena for delivering consistent high-quality solutions for many large incineration facilities internationally.

Another clear investment in the recognition of the quality and reliability of British Manufacturing, as celebrated by the Department for International Trade ‘Exporting is Great’ initiative.

Having an expected operational life in excess of 20 years Addfield will ensure that the entire system is capable of being operated and maintained in-country. Delivering a fully comprehensive program of operation and maintenance training for local engineers during the final installation and commissioning stage.

“This is another fantastic project for us to work on following the success we have seen with installations of this scale in the UK and Europe landing another project, which will be starting so soon is recognition not just of the quality of work that we deliver at Addfield. It is also confidence in the recognition that made in Great Britain still carriers a rightfully recognised esteem around the world. We are really proud to be starting the new year in such a great position. This just the first of many projects we are looking at in this region and we are very proud of the quality of work of our team” James Grant Business Development Director

The future of Waste to Energy – Complete talk by James Grant – Addfield Environmental.

In September 2019 during the first day of the Recycling and Waste Management Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham. Our Business Development Director James Grant delivered an information-packed presentation to a packed lecture theatre about the future of Waste to Energy and the ways in which Addfield is supporting the development for our customers.

The following is an optimised transcript of the presentation giving you the highlights of the talk.

If you have any questions on how Addfield can help you at the end of this contact us straight away via sales@addfield.com.

The Future of Waste Treatment

At Addfield we have become a recognised and respected provider of thermal waste treatment solutions able to provide a reaching range of solutions from individual small-scale machines through to full high capacity facilities.

I would like to describe to you how these plants can help you with your waste issues. Hopefully, you will be able to identify with some of the problems identified here.

We have been manufacturing incinerators for over 35 years and currently export our equipment to over 100 different countries around the world.

To begin with an introduction to the points that we are going to discuss.

Starting with a brief overview of the current risks to waste management and how we can address those.

Followed by a review of our small-scale waste to energy plants and the permits surrounding them, before discussing planning. Finally, we will look at your ‘Return on Investment’ in these plants and the main factors as to why you would want to look at something like this.

Risks To Waste Management

Starting off, risks to waste management and why you may want to look into something like this. Firstly something that maybe everyone can identify with and that is ever-increasing landfill costs. In recent years they have just increased and increased, in gate fees as well as transport costs.

There is a potential lack of landfill capacity in the UK, resulting in a lot of recent news reports talking about landfill problems especially with regards to exporting waste abroad. And potential tariffs on waste as well which we will go into more detail later. Where a lot of countries around the world are placing import taxes and again risks from Brexit exporting waste to EU countries.

Another risk to waste especially plastics is the reclassification of certain waste types so there is a potential for certain plastics such as car plastics are to be reclassified as hazardous. This would have an impact on how they are disposed of and also affect the cost associated with that disposal as well. Finally, there is a rejection of waste from traditional waste importing countries.

Waste Makes Headlines

There have been several news reports on waste from all over the world, and how government policy impacts waste disposal costs and how that might challenge future waste disposal routes.

Here are a couple of examples – there are lots of these that keep cropping up on the news I am sure you have seen some.

Here we have ‘Malaysia sends back 3000 tonnes of plastic back to the country of origin.’ This is just highlighting the issues of where waste goes in the future and the options for waste disposal are narrowing.

Equally just last year (2018) ‘China decides to ban 24 grades of rubbish,’ as part of their ‘National Sword,’ campaign. The main key point to take away from this is that China is probably the world’s biggest waste importer, so waste isn’t just an issue for the UK it is a global issue for how people treat their waste in the future.

Talking about tariffs here is an example of how potentially RDF is going to be taxed in January 2020 and this seems to be a running theme with taxation on waste in the future.

And then government policy, a little bit closer to home with landfill tax being a corner piece of Scotland’s ‘Zero Waste’ plan, where government pressure is on looking for where waste will go in the future.

I am going to identify certain areas and outlets for those as well. Hopefully, you can look at those and see where you may have problems with your waste.

Small Scale Waste to Energy Plants.

The future as we see it is small scale waste to energy plants.

What is small scale?

Well, small scale is for us a machine that processes less than three tones per hour and that comes down to permitting which we talk about later on.

Just to identify waste types that will be suitable for this kind of plant. Effectively a waste to energy plant can burn any type of waste. However, there are certain waste streams that are derived from oil such as plastics which will be a lot more cost effective to run through a combustion plant so if you have something of a higher energy value it uses less auxiliary fuel to run it. Equally, if you have something of a low energy value or a high moisture content you will use more fuel to run the plant and fuel is probably the biggest outgoing when running this kind of equipment.

You may recognise a few of these waste types:

• · Car plastics
• · Mixed polymers
• · WEEE waste,
• · MRF reject

Again all plastic derived really, and costs for disposal will come back to the ROI part.

The higher the energy value the quicker the return on investment.

What to expect from a small-scale waste to energy plant. We will discuss the most common layouts that we produce. However, every site is different and every waste type is different. So we build them to a customer requirement but these main points will ring true for most sites.

Let’s forget about Brexit for a minute and focus on an upcoming change that is going to affect every exporter regardless of the region you sell to. Incoterms are about to change and you need to know what this means and how this affects you to stay protected.

In case you were not fully away Incoterms are essential for all international trade, providing a globally accepted term for international freight delivery. The Incoterms covers the delivery point for the goods sold along with establishing exactly the responsibilities, risks and costs that are associated with both the seller and the buyer. These terms have been in circulation since they were initially created in 1936 and have recently been updated every ten years with the next update due in January 2020.

The first thing to be aware of is, is when you need to change your Incoterms.

You should use the new terms from the 1st of January 2020 and as they are already published you should have plenty of time to become acquainted with the new codes that you will use to replace your existing one.

Can you use the new codes before January 2020?

You can start using the term if the contract specifically refers to the new terms over the current ones. In the same respect, you do not have to switch over straight away to the new terms. If you choose to work with the 2010 set of Incoterms you can however this needs to be clearly stated and defined in the contracts. It is expected though that within 18 months all companies will be fully compliant with the 2020 terms.

Now, what do you need to do about Incoterms 2020?

First off find out what terms your business currently uses and how they are going to change. It is unlikely that you currently use every term so don’t be overwhelmed by changes that will not affect you.

This is actually a great opportunity for you to audit your current terms and make sure that you are actually using the most appropriate ones currently, you may be surprised.

You can find the full set of 2010 Incoterms here https://iccwbo.org/resources-for-business/incoterms-rules/incoterms-rules-2010/

When you are satisfied with the existing terms that you are using check what changes (if any) have been made and how these affect you. Once again you may want to review the terms you use to ensure appropriate compliance.

You can find the full set of 2020 Incoterms here https://iccwbo.org/resources-for-business/incoterms-rules/incoterms-2020/

Once you know the new codes that you are going to be using be proactive and begin preparing your contract documents for the new year to include the new Incoterms also notify your customers of the changes and the impact this may have on them and if they are expected to carry out any additional duties.

Although there are a number of changes across the full Incoterms 2020 guidance there are a number of noticeable changes.

These include:

CIP and CIF Insurance changes

The term CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid to) means that the seller will deliver the goods to the carrier and also covers the insurance for the rest of the journey to the final destination. The term CIF (Carriage Insurance and Freight) is similar except that it only applies to maritime transport, meaning delivery onto a ship with the destination being a port.

The 2010 incoterms require the provision of insurance for the buyer known as Clause C. This provides a basic level of insurance, which may be suitable for bulk commodity items but not correct for manufactured goods.

In the newest version CIF keeps the same Clause C insurance but now also includes the requirement of Clause A. The reason for this is that CIF has been found to more commonly contain bulk commodity trades while CIP is more common for manufactured goods.

FOB, FCA, and Bills of lading

FOB is generally used for container shipments. In this instance, the seller takes on a high level of risk. The seller maintains liability for the container and its contents until it is securely loaded onto the ship. However, once the container enters the port it leaves the control of the seller which means that there is a level of risk that they cannot control and will be liable for such as if it is damaged. As well as potential unexpected storage and loading fees.

We would generally request the term FCA which often requires the payment to be made securely with a letter of credit. For the credit to be issued a Bill of Laden is generally required. When using FOB the seller is most often issued with a bill of loading directly however this is more difficult when using FCA.

Going forward the 2020 incoterms will allow both parties to agree for the buyer to issue an onboard bill of lading directly to the seller removing risks and speeding up the overall process.

DPU is replacing DAT

DAT (Delivered at Terminal) means that once goods have been unloaded at the terminal they are considered delivered as far as the seller is liable. The new term DPU allows the delivery to be concluded at site, such as a farm or business.

Increased security

There has been a global increase in security requirements including more mandatory screening of containers. The changes will incur greater costs and the risks of delay. Previous versions of Incoterms were not specific on who was responsible for these costs however in 202 there is much more formal guidance on the management of this aspect.

Ex Works is moving to FCA

The term Ex Works is being removed and being replaced in most instances by FCA (Free Carrier). Under Ex Works it had previously been assumed that the delivery would be completed by a third party carrier. This has often been an issue with some of our customers who have been able to collect directly from us. In the new 2020 incoterms, they have added the ability to more formally state that the buyer or seller will ‘arrange at its own cost for the carriage of goods from the named place of delivery’ under FCA.

These are only a small number of changes to the recently published Incoterms, to read more visit:
