The icaunaise company Ycare wishes to continue its flight by setting up in AuxRparc

For the moment, it is a business park that is far from running at full speed. Of the 50 hectares of AuxRparc land, only two companies are located today at the foot of the A6 interchange, in Appoigny.

Ycare (for Yonne Carrière Recyclage) left Leugny, near Toucy, to settle there at the start of 2022, to gain space and be able to develop its activity. The family business specializes in large machines that work mainly in quarries, but also in sorting centres. They are able to screen, crush, wash or recycle.

The arrival of a juggernaut

“We are both designers, builders and producers of units”, sums up Christophe Devraigne, communication manager within the company. On March 10, 2022, everyone was mobilized to welcome an exceptional convoy. The company took delivery of an impressive trommel, “the biggest in the world”. A juggernaut who worked for two years for Eiffage on a construction site in Mauritania. He was responsible for separating the materials according to their size using a drum. A machine composed of two huge parts of 54 and 84 tons.

“Turnkey” sorting centers

“Over the next few weeks, we are going to reassemble it completely, test it and restore it. We will be able to give it a second life in France”, explains the director of Ycare, Georges Ferrary. It should then be resold to a French customer. “In the longer term, we want to be able to manufacture machines like this in our workshop currently being fitted out”, continues Christophe Devraigne. Ycare is already capable of supplying “turnkey” complete sorting units. Several were carried out on behalf of Paprec, the French leader in recycling.

Machines for the Lyon-Turin tunnel construction site

“We normally work with two or three sorting centers a year. It’s a market with great potential.” They can be found in Hauts-de-Seine and Essonne in particular… Ycare’s know-how was also illustrated two years ago in the design of machines for the major Lyon-Turin tunnel project. They were manufactured to evacuate rubble and smooth concrete in the constrained environment of a service tunnel.
