CEMCO Introduces Glass Gator

Glass Gator

CEMCO, based in Belen, N.M., is promoting its Glass Gator, which can turn glass into a 100 percent recyclable cullet or soft-edged sand byproduct, reducing waste handling costs and minimizing glass-related injuries.

CEMCO says the Glass Gator can process between 40-80 bottles per minute. The Glass Gator’s hopper features strategically placed trap doors to prevent flying glass debris, further enhancing the safety of the user, according to the company.

In addition to increasing safety, the Glass Gator significantly reduces waste handling costs. To accommodate applications where larger pieces of glass may be required, the Glass Gator can be configured to different reduction sizes, including 1/2-inch, 3/8-inch, 1/4-inch uniform cutlet or 1/8-inch minus sand.

The Glass Gator is available in two models. The GG1-00813 stands at slightly less than 29 inches with an additional hopper height of 23.4 inches. The machine is powered by a 1.5 horsepower NEMA Class C Electric motor. The second model, the GG2-00838, features an overall height of 74 inches, and is powered by a 3-horsepower NEMA Class C Electric motor. Both units are derived from CEMCO’s Aggregate Impact Crusher and feature abrasion-resistant castings and dynamic force of rotation for efficient, powerful operation.

The byproducts produced with the Glass Gator can be sold to recycling centers, as well as used in landfills and aggregate operations. The permeability of glass sand is ideal for aggregate contractors, as it can improve the quality of gravel in an aggregate mix.

The Glass Gator offers a screen capacity of up to 50,000 bottles, and a blade capacity of 100,000 bottles. The machine is also designed for fast, simple maintenance. Rotor parts and the sizing screen are easy to replace, and the unit can be quickly cleaned using a simple detergent mix.
