At IDeas Design Consultants Ltd, we’re always eager to tackle challenging projects that contribute to sustainable solutions and improve industrial processes. One such opportunity came when Firstgrade Recycling Systems approached us with a need for a water separator unit for their recycling plant.
The Brief on our Water Separation Unit
Firstgrade Recycling Systems required a custom-designed water separator unit capable of efficiently separating heavy and light solids in a recycling process. The core principle behind this unit is the use of water to separate materials based on their density. The heavier solids sink to the bottom, while the lighter materials float to the surface. Both types of solids are then extracted using augers for further processing.
Our task was to design the equipment and produce all the necessary manufacturing drawings for the unit.
Service Provided
We provided design and drafting services to create a robust and efficient water separation unit tailored to the needs of the recycling plant. Our team worked closely with the client to ensure the design was optimised for both performance and practicality in their recycling process.
Length of Project
The project timeline was tight but achievable. We completed the design and drafting work within two weeks, ensuring the client had all the necessary documentation and drawings to proceed with manufacturing.

Conclusion
At IDeas Design Consultants Ltd, we are proud to contribute to projects that enhance efficiency and sustainability. By offering custom design and drafting services, we help businesses like Firstgrade Recycling Systems implement solutions that improve their processes and support their environmental goals.
