Rowcon Waste Recycling Facility, Australia
CRS where delighted to be chosen by Rowcon to design, build and install a Large Waste Recycling Facility in Brisbane, Australia.
CRS where delighted to be chosen by Rowcon to design, build and install a Large Waste Recycling Facility in Brisbane, Australia. The Plant was delivered through our Australian partner, Waste Initiatives, whom we worked closely with throughout the term of project.
Rowcon are one of the largest privately-owned civil construction material suppliers on the Sunshine Coast, Eastern Australia. They have grown into a dynamic and diverse concrete Recycling & Waste Management company, delivering high-quality materials over various projects across the State. Rowcon had a need for a new purpose built Waste Recycling Facility to further meet their business needs and selected to work with CRS in order to fulfil their plans.
CRS were able to gather a full needs analysis from Rowcon through our Waste Initiatives representatives and design a plant based around this. Continuous contact with the Customer across the project, maintained a smooth relationship and enabled delivery of the project on time.
The final results presented a full state of the art Waste Recycling Facility, separating and segregating C&D Waste, at 50 tonnes per hour.
Challenges & Solutions:
-
Time difference for communicating with Client & Dealer, plus communicating with our installation team on-site. CRS put in the effort to accommodate all parties by working outside of normal working hours when necessary.
-
The bespoke plant needed to be installed inside a purpose-built Warehouse. This had to be taken into consideration during planning and designing the modules, to suit forklift installation as opposed to conventional crane lifting.
-
Restrictions and constraints with shipping had to be adhered to and planned ahead, including haulage rules in Australia.
-
All Australian safety standards where researched and addressed during design stage, such as access handrails etc.

Trommel Screens: Reliable Separation for Demanding Applications
In modern recycling and waste management operations, trommel screens play a vital role in material separation and processing efficiency. At CRS NI, our trommel systems are engineered for performance, durability, and versatility — designed to handle a wide range of materials, including construction and demolition waste, commercial and industrial waste, mixed dry recyclables, WEEE, gypsum, compost, and auto shredder residue (ASR). In this article, we explore what a trommel is, how it works, where it’s used, and why operators benefit from our heavy-duty trommel screens.
The Role of AI and Robotics in the Future of Waste Management
The waste management industry is undergoing a technological revolution. With growing demand for efficient, sustainable recycling, AI-powered systems and robotics are transforming how facilities sort, process, and recover materials. At CRS NI, we are leading the way with integrated automated solutions that improve throughput, reduce contamination, and increase operational efficiency.
Automated Machinery vs. Manual Picking: What’s Right for Your Recycling Operation?
Every recycling plant faces the same pressure: improve recovery rates, reduce costs, and keep operators safe. But when it comes to sorting materials, is it better to invest in automated machinery — or stick with manual picking? Here’s a closer look at the key differences, and how to choose the right solution for your site.
5 Signs Your Waste Sorting System Is Holding You Back
If you're running a waste processing plant, your system is your business. But even solid setups can become bottlenecks over time. Whether you’re working with C&D, C&I, MDR, gypsum, or WEEE, here are five clear signs it’s time to consider an upgrade — and how CRS NI can help you get more out of every tonne.
