The Arcamix ash stabilization station is a special, tailor made, plant in the Arcamix product family. The Arcamix ash mixing station is designed according the requirements and specifications defined by HSY. Exceptionally, in the Arcamix ash stabilizer station there is, a LAPA 2000 countercurrent mixer included in. The mixer is equipped with optional Walter automatic high pressure cleaning system and hydraulic driven discharge  hatches.There are  three fly ash and two cement silos,  two section rock and slag receiving pockets with dosing equipment and conveyors. Ready stabilized mixture can be discharged into either a pocket beneath the plant or a long belt conveyor, which transfers the mixture to the final disposal cell. The stabilization process utilizes the technical water from Ämmässuo waste treatment center of HSY.

Arcamix ash stabilization can be utilized fro bentonite production, stabilization of contaminated soil, mixing of recycled soils and small scale concreate production.

Installation of plant containers and modules was carried out in Espoo during the latter part of 2018. Station modules were pre-erected and tested mechanically and electronically in assembly hall of Tecwill in Joensuu, Finland before they were shipped to Espoo, Finland. Only a long mass transfer conveyor was built from prefabricated modules on site, due to the 53 m length of the conveyor. The station was commissioned and tested regarding commissioning and testing programs of HSY in January 2019. Right after commissioning, operating personnel of HSY started ash stabilization at the new Arcamix plant.

The carefully designed, pre-assembled and electrified Arcamix Container Modules enabled rapid installation in winter conditions. Arcamix was delivered according to the original time schedule. Main electrical supply was connected to the plan after a few days from arrival of the plant to the site. The winter-insulated plant was warmed up and the finishing installations, the connection of systems between containers and electrification could be made in a warm condition.

Installation and commissioning of container modules based Tecwill Arcamix plant is remarkable faster compared to traditionally, field-based installed mixing plants.
