BlueMAC Manufacturing

What BlueMAC Manufacturing does

BlueMAC Manufacturing Ltd is a private, founder/owner-operated UK designer and builder of bespoke recycling equipment and Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), headquartered and manufactured in-house at a facility in Dungannon, Northern Ireland. The company combines a portfolio of mechanical separation technologies — trommel screens, flip flow screens, ballistic separators, magnetic and eddy current separators, air density separators (Typhoon ADS, GK), and fines clean-up systems — into custom turnkey MRFs engineered using 3D modeling and tailored to each client's waste stream, throughput, and site constraints. Beyond static MRF systems, BlueMAC has expanded into mobile picking stations (RS-101, TS-212) with hybrid power and integrated gensets for portable on-site sorting.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market customers across municipal, construction & demolition (C&D), commercial & industrial (C&I), skip hire, and specialist waste streams in the UK, Ireland, and select international markets. Customer logos include Irish Waste, Westminster Waste, Enterprise Skiphire, Lowmac Waste & Recycling, Walsh Waste, Pat Munro, Woodford Recycling, R. Collard, and Cireco Scotland, with flagship facilities processing 20-50 tonnes per hour and weekly throughputs up to 1,500 tonnes. BlueMAC generates revenue through one-time capital equipment sales, turnkey MRF design and installation, and an after-sales service layer (24/7 support packages, spares, training), distributing through direct enterprise sales supplemented by an established UK channel — Blue Machinery London, Blue Machinery Scotland (10+ year relationship), and Blue Machinery Central — and an actively expanding international dealer network.

Core offering

BlueMAC Manufacturing designs, engineers, and manufactures bespoke recycling systems and material recovery facility (MRF) equipment from its Northern Ireland facility. The portfolio includes trommel screens, flip flow screens, ballistic separators, magnetic and eddy current separators, air density separators, picking stations (static and mobile), feeders, and fines clean-up systems, which are combined into fully integrated turnkey MRF solutions for waste management operators.

Product overview

BlueMAC Manufacturing is a recycling equipment manufacturer offering a portfolio of complementary core products and bespoke integrated systems. Their product lineup includes trommel screens (with flip flow screens and ballistic separators as variants), mobile picking stations (TS-212 and RS-101), magnetic separation systems with eddy current separators, fines clean-up systems, custom feeders (belt, pan, bag opening, and metering drum types), static picking stations with ergonomic operator cabins, air density separators, and the All Metal Separator. These individual products are combined into bespoke turnkey Material Recovery Facility (MRF) systems that integrate multiple components—feeders, screens, separators, picking stations, and conveyors—into complete end-to-end recycling solutions tailored to each customer's waste stream, throughput, and facility requirements. The company operates as a B2B equipment manufacturer, not a software platform, with all products engineered and manufactured in-house at their Northern Ireland facility.

Products and services

• Bespoke MRF Systems Complete end-to-end bespoke Material Recovery Facility (MRF) systems designed and built to maximize recycling efficiency for waste management operators. Combines compatible processors and conveyor arrays in tailored configurations to meet specific operational requirements from small-scale C&D plants to large, high-throughput facilities.
• Trommel Screens Precision-built high-performance trommel screens for separating fines from mixed waste streams. Configurable aperture sizes typically 15-40mm with high-grade materials for demanding recycling environments. Used in MRF systems across waste management operations.
• Flip Flow Screens Heavy-duty flip flow screens integrated in partnership with SPALECK that tackle wet, sticky, or highly variable materials that blind conventional screens, using aggressive elastic screening mats for sharp separations across multiple fractions.
• Ballistic Separators Separators that split material by shape, weight, and stiffness. Paddle decks push light, flat items (film, paper, cardboard) uphill while rigid/heavy items (bottles, cans, wood, stones) bounce or roll down the slope, creating clean, distinct streams for recovery.
• Magnetic Separation Systems Bespoke solutions for removal of ferrous and non-ferrous material from waste streams using overband magnets, magnetic tail drums, and eddy current separators for efficient metal recovery including aluminium cans and copper.
• TS-212 Mobile Picking Station High-performance mobile picking station engineered for fast setup and efficient on-site sorting. Features a robust steel frame, fully insulated operator cabin, plug-in hybrid power system, 1.2m wide chevron belt, 45kVA compact genset, 5.5kW hydraulic power pack, and 11kW fan blower for light-fraction separation.
• RS-101 Mobile Picking Station Single-bay mobile picking station designed for compact, efficient on-site material recovery. Engineered for processing construction, demolition, commercial, and industrial waste streams with flexibility, mobility, and robust build quality. Features insulated cabin, 1m wide plain belt, and tow bar for easy transport.
• Static Picking Stations Operator-friendly picking stations with insulated, temperature-regulated cabins featuring heating, ventilation, or air conditioning. Designed with ergonomic bays, safety features (emergency stops, non-slip flooring, safety railings), and dust suppression for safe, efficient manual and automated separation.
• Fines Clean-Up Systems Systems that enable operators to keep processing, reduce disposal costs, and unlock new revenue from materials previously sent to landfill. Includes trommel fines clean-up systems, flip flow screens with air separation, and equipment for recovering metals, plastics, and aggregates.
• Feeders Custom-built high-performance feeders including belt feed hoppers for smooth material flow, heavy-duty vibrating pan feeders, bag opening feeders for municipal waste, and metering drum hoppers for controlled material flow and surge prevention.
• Air Density Separators Equipment for separating light and heavy fractions from waste streams using air classification. BlueMAC offers solutions including the Typhoon ADS (Air Density Separator) and GK air classifiers for effective material segregation.
• All Metal Separator Stationary metal separation unit that removes remaining ferrous material via a rotating magnetic drum and non-ferrous material using eddy current technology to produce high-quality RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) material.
• After-Sales Service and Support Ongoing after-sales care including technical support, spare parts supply, maintenance services, and customer training programs. Full spares and 24/7 service packages available for installed equipment.

• Terex Materials Processing (Powerscreen): Global incumbent that supplies Powerscreen screens used as components in BlueMAC MRFs (e.g., Cireco Scotland). Wider portfolio of crushing, screening, and recycling equipment; broader scale but less bespoke depth in MRF integration.
• Metso: Finnish-headquartered global incumbent providing pre-shredders and processing equipment referenced in BlueMAC MRF builds (Cireco Scotland). Much larger scale and broader portfolio but competes in recycling systems integration.

Direct peers

• Machinex: Canadian manufacturer and integrator of full turnkey Material Recovery Facilities, optical sorters, and recycling equipment. Direct competitor for bespoke MRF design-build projects on a similar horizontal market.
• Van Dyk Recycling Solutions: North American MRF system integrator combining screens, optical sorters, magnets, eddy currents, and picking stations into bespoke recycling plants. Comparable business model — engineered turnkey systems for C&I and municipal waste operators.
• Komptech: German-headquartered, one of Europe's largest manufacturers of recycling and waste processing machinery including shredders, screens, and separators used in MRFs. Directly comparable as a specialist integrator serving municipal and C&D waste operators across Europe.
• EDGE Innovate: Cookstown-headquartered (also Northern Ireland) manufacturer of mobile and static waste processing equipment including trommells, screens, and picking stations. Most direct geographic and product peer — same regional engineering base, competing product portfolio.

Emerging players

• Steinert: German specialist in magnetic separation and eddy current technology — overlapping with BlueMAC's metal separation product line. Focused niche comparable in component technology rather than full MRF integration.
• Spaleck Surface & Surface Technology: German manufacturer of flip flow screens and screening technology integrated as a partner component in BlueMAC systems (e.g., Lowmac, Cireco). Comparable as a specialist screen technology provider.

Regional players

• Stokkermill Recycling Systems: Italian-based manufacturer of recycling and waste processing equipment including shredders, granulators, and separation systems. Comparable niche European equipment maker serving overlapping waste stream segments (C&D, metal recovery).
